No one is the villein in their own story.

  Autocorrect strikes again? villain - antagonist; evildoer villein - peasant ranking above a serf

    Same root thought, funnily enough. Iirc the meaning of "villain" as evildoer actually grows out of the meaning of "relatively well off villager".

    Yep. It didn't look right, but autocorrect didn't complain. Works either way, though. :-)
