I don't often think of Marauders as long term or main villains, but there's no reason they can't be. Even if their thoughts and worlds are alien, they can still be coherent or consistent enough to analyze and anticipate. They can still have long term plans and the organizational ability to set major events in motion. So what are some marauders that could be the focus of a major chronicle?
One idea I had was for a Marauder who thinks he's living in a crumbling world and is trying to bring back life. His presence alone tends to have destructive and erosive effects wherever he is but his long term plans might be worse. He's going around to sites associated with the major creation myths of the world and reenacting them. Each one is a major undertaking requiring at least a year of setup, and each one leaves strange, lasting changes even after he leaves. It's not clear what the long term effects will be, but they are growing stronger with each major success.
Essentially, he's tapping into the power of some major Mythic Threads, and they can be researched and tracked even if the he himself is harder to figure out.
