i see it as this: they are entirely motivated by greed and grudges. the greed part is entry level but the scope of it isnt, they believe the entire world belongs to them and no one else, to anyone else greed is just wanting more than you need, but their greed desires to deprive everyone else of everything for all eternity. same with their grudges, ala blood libel, to them any slight against them, real or imagined, must be met with an undying grudge that they will teach their children and pass down generation to generation. someone got a better business deal then they did? that syory will be passed down for ever and will be exacted upon whenever possible. subverting a mans great great grand children is better to them than getting immediate revenge. because then, to them, that grudge can go on forever.
