The Wanderer of Time
I don't know why you're quoting the FF wikia as if its some legitimate source of insight or something.
Venat was nothing more than the Promethius of FFXII. He wasn't running anything, per se. All he did was help those he allied himself with and thus promote their ambition of taking control of history for themselves. He wasn't in it for the politics like Vayne and Dr. Cid were. It was merely an avenue to wrench the reigns of fate out of the control of the Occuria and back into the hands of humes.
Why does the Wiki get so much hate here? ><
But yeah, you're right Mako. Venat wasn't exactly *evil*, his intentions were to give the Humes control over their own history. The only problem is he did it by working with the villains since they were the best tools he could use.
