You've got your Big Bad Evil Overlord, looming over the world like a colossus, but he can't just putz around on his throne or hang out in his gym all day long waiting for heroes to kick his ass. While The Omniscient Council of Vagueness doesn't seem to do much but sit around and wait while spouting off cryptic nonsense, they've got to have some sort of hidden agenda to hide or there isn't much of a point. So they've got to have a plan; an evil plan. Otherwise there's not much of a story, is there? This trope is the reason Villains Act, Heroes React; the villain needs to be doing something evil or the hero has no evil to thwart.
