Iago is a fictional villain from the controversial play Othello (William Shakespeare). Iago is a Devil's Advocate who convinces the ethnic minority Othello that his wife is unfaithful to him. Othello goes mad with rage and unravels his own social position, and Iago effectively satisfies his own urge for envy-driven character destruction.
Ra's al Ghul is the fictional nemesis of the urban vigilante Batman (DC Comics) and is a diviner of fascism and eco-terrorism in Gotham City.
Iago represents general mischief and cynicism regarding society etiquette, while Ra's al Ghul represents leadership corruption.
We can use these two fictional villains to talk about unlimited corruption.
