The D&D origins.
' origin story has already been explained. In short Vecna, in his human form, was the son of Victor Creel , who developed abilities in the '50s and murdered his mother and sister before purposely sticking his father with the blame.
According to Dungeons and Dragons lore, the undead wizard was destroyed in battle, leaving behind only a hand and an eye. "He's always deliberately sort of cast as an enigmatic or shadowy or mysterious figure whose true motives tend to be inscrutable, but I think whenever he's shown up, he's been cold and calculating."
D&D's Vecna had a penchant for acquiring and maintaining secrets which he believed to be the source of true power. To Vecna, every being holds a single secret that could be manipulated to bring about their downfall. Through this he would gain dominion over others. Vecna also seems to have dredged up some long-buried guilt Nancy is holding on to about best friend Barb's death. He uses his tragedies to immobilise his prey in a trance before striking hard and fast.
"If I were to get my list of top three villains, it would probably be Vecna, who is the iconic lich; Strahd, who is the iconic vampire; and probably Demogorgon, who is the iconic demon lord." Which gives you an idea of just how frightening he has the potential to be.
