Interesting concept what type of story were you going for with this setting, playing as the adventurers fighting the big bad ruler, or the ruler himself protecting what he views as his?
in saying that I also have questions about the big bad,
is he evil for the sake of being evil, or does he have reasons for being the way he is? 
has he always been told he's entitled to everything and thus does not understand his actions are evil?
or maybe he does things this way because it is the only way that he knows being a werewolf, and he is protecting the people from something much worse?
