 Free guess: Vecna?
I see that the Wikipedia page refers to "being named one of the greatest villains", that he transformed from a wizard and that he died.
Vecna, The Arch-Lich, the Chained God, the Maimed God, Master of the Spider Throne, the Whispered One, the Lord of the Rotted Tower, the Undying King, is the correct answer.

Well done.
Oh, Vecna... I was thinking it might have been Tufty from the Tufty Club... So easy to get those two mixed up

Thanks. I will not be around for long, but I'm creating the thread for the questions, and I will check before I sleep and answer your questions.

Great guess and great round, I like when the fictional characters are from uncommon types of media (like a DnD splatbook).

One question is left.

FINAL CLUE:

This character was introduced in a published form (i.e. in printed form) - just not one of the kinds of published media mentioned so far.

Clarification for QM: Would a cartoon (which is not a movie) count within one of the media already eliminated?
If yes, first introduced in a physical collectible medium (examples include trading cards, pogs, etc.)?
No.

I am happy to just confirm that this character was not introduced in a cartoon. I would include cartoons within "TV shows" in any case.

Clue: This character does originate in a published work, just not any of the kinds of published works mentioned so far.
