Tragic villains:

Always have certain lore to me, you pity them and understand were their coming from.

Master Manipulator:

Look at Aizen (at the beginning) and Itachi always four steps ahead of the main cast with complicated yet beautiful schemes.

Evil from the Past:

Every character who has a decent backstory, has a wall to climb over a nightmare from the past they'll struggle to overcome both emotionally and physically.
