Tragic

“	The Sith. The Sith took everything from me. Ripped me from my mother's arms. Murdered my brother. Used me as a weapon and then cast me aside. Abandoned me! Once I had power, now I have nothing. Nothing.	„
	~ Darth Maul reciting his tragic backstory to Ezra Bridger.

“	I hurt her so bad. My son, Adam, went missing. I took him out hunting even though my wife said he was too young. I figured he had to learn. I came back without him and the look on her face said "You are a MONSTER". We all went out looking for him. We never found him. I hurt her so bad. And then we came back and all our stuff was gone. Your people, Lee. That asshole with a ball cap. His stupid f-cking wife. I could've earned her trust back if they hadn't made our situation so desperate. The hungrier we got the more she blamed me. Until she finally took our daughter, Elizabeth, and left. They didn't get far... I... found them a day later. In the road.	„
	~ The Stranger's backstory to Lee.

Villainous Benchmarks who are confirmed to possess traumatic and sympathetic backstories that motivate their villainy and sustain themselves despite their villainous acts. They are the opposite of Fake Tragic Villainous Benchmarks, VBs whose "tragedies" are not sustainable because they are too hideous, petty or exaggerated.
