We ARE the storm

We are all the Nihil. 

We don't just ride the storm. 

We ARE the storm. 

Why we find some villains absolutely fascinating?

Why we are attracted by them like moths with the lamp?

Why we even consider reasons in their actions?

Marchion Ro IS, unapologetically, a VILLAIN.

And, sure, Marc Thompson's voice-portrait of him is simply magnificent.

And, yes, descriptions like the following do not help to not fall into his rabbit hole.

Marchion Ro pulled off his mask, reaching up and running a hand through his long, dark hair, untangling it. The energy in the room changed, even though the Tempest Runners had seen Marchion unmasked many times. His appearance tended to have a particular effect on those around him— slate-gray skin, wholly black eyes, a certain angular leanness to his physique.

But it is not just his appearance or voice.

There is a part of us that is disgusted by his behavior and attitude.

But another just wants to understand, seeing a logic in his thinking.

The Republic. [...] Invading, taking over, with all its rules and laws and particular brand of freedom that isn't free at all. And you Jedi always just behind, absolutely convinced that every action you take is right and good. My family learned that to its costs, long ago

So that, undeniably, I am here.

Just craving for him to appear again.

I am the Eye of the Nihil, and I see the battle you're fighting. I see the Republic, trying to take away your freedom. [...] They want you dead. Just for living. Just for being. Just for walking a path they don't own. Who are they to tell us how to live? Who are they to come to our territory and try to kill us? The Republic. The Jedi. What gives them the right?
