HELP.

How do I make my character hate the aristocracy so much that he's willing to kill (if regretfully) tons of peasants just to bring them down?

What can they do to him to make him hate them so much?

They're already going to outcast him because he turns into a monster, but I really want to layer up the shaftings. The main character is fundamentally good and caring, but he also needs to lead a military campaign against the humans to kill the aristocrats, so something has to happen to him to make him willing to do that.

Potential plothooks:
>he has monster friends who aren't all bad
>humans hate and kill monsters (but monsters do the same back to the humans)
>the monsters are really monstrous and evil
>the aristocracy is awful and corrupt and just terrible
>if he doesn't fight this war the humans are certainly going to kill him sooner or later so it's a matter of his own survival

Basically I need him to justify the collateral damage to himself.
