In this huge story I've been planning and drawing up for the past three or four months, ( which is definately going to take up at least four or five books), I'm needing to know just how a dictator rises to power. I have a character, ( who I don't have a name for yet,) who's a politician, and has a lust for power and for things to be the way he sees them. I'm planning this series to have different sub-trilogies, and by the last sub-trilogy, it's about the end of the world and how this character becomes a dictator and decieves everyone into following his will. ( By the way, this character is only one of the main antagonists. He's just the antagonist in the last three books. There's also the Lord of Shadows, the Dream Eater, ect.)
How many different ways could I lead the readers up to this? When the character's first introduced in the story, he seems like a nice, normal guy. But as the story progresses, you'd become more and more wary of him becuase of some of the things he requests the Senate to do, and some of the things he says.
But anyway, I mainly just need to know how a dictator rises to power. Any help is appreciated.
