You want to know more about Exdeath and his motives?

Your party in FF5 are not the original heroes, you're the guys sent in AFTER those guys (Galuf, Dorgan, Zeza and Kelgar) couldn't stop him. And let's not disrespect those original guys, they literally moved heaven and earth to try and put a stop to him. You see, for a starters Exdeath can't die, the first heroes reduced him to splinters but he just kept coming back. Then when they realized this they sealed him up instead - in not one, not two, not three, but ALL FOUR elemental crystals. Then, just to be DOUBLY sure they SPLIT THE WORLD INTO TWO SEPARATE DIMENSIONS plus a secret third dimension containing the void force that would allow Exdeath the ability to kill everything everywhere forever.

Normally when that sort of shit is pulled, the sealed evil stays sealed for around 100+ years, usually a thousand or so. EXDEATH WAS OUT AND ABOUT IN LESS THAN FIFTY.
He then proceeded to undo everything the original heroes did in about a month, all the while casually killing off those heroes, most of the time not even noticing their presence.
They don't go easy either: the last one survives going down to -2000 hp and throws spells so gamebreakingly powerful we aren't allowed them in game at Exdeath in an attempt to kill him.
He literally just shrugs it off, and wanders away as that last hero dies so hard not even life3 or phoenix down can revive him.

He then goes on to gain the power to destroy everything everywhere forever and only loses because he hasn't realized (like his predecessor Enuo before him) that by gaining this power he can now die, and by the time he notices, he's already taken too much damage to kill of those second heroes he has been pretty much ignoring the whole time.

tl;dr: That tree motherfucker is one of the best villains of all time. I mean, what other villain has a 13 floor castle built out of human corpses?
