Over time, a person holding a Shard will be shaped to the Shard's [[intent]]. This can, for example, turn a kind person like [[Ati]] into [[Ruin|someone who just wants to destroy]]. However, Rayse was purportedly already an incredibly crafty, loathsome, and dangerous individual, even before picking up the power. A Shard's intent is mildly interpreted by its Vessel{{17s ref|topic|1729|A holder's personality, however, does get to filter the Shard's intent, so to speak|date=17 March 2012}} (for example, the idea of [[Preservation]] could be interpreted in a number of ways, and the Shard's Vessel helps determine this), so Odium is probably being interpreted in the darkest, most dangerous way possible. Odium is a force of pure hatred which is held by a man who can--and will--use that power to the most terrible end.
Odium's ultimate goal is indeed terrible: he seeks to be the most powerful being in the cosmere. To this end, he kills other Shards (namely [[Aona]], [[Skai]]{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}}, [[Uli Da]]{{au ref|threnodite}}, and [[Tanavast]]{{book ref|twok|75}}).{{wob ref|date=2011-11-5|5489|Alloy of Law 17th Shard Q&A}} But, instead of picking up those Shards (and becoming more and more powerful as he increases his Shard count), Rayse does not want to be unduly influenced from other Shard's intents.{{qa ref|675|12}} He feels that Odium matches him perfectly. So, he [[Splinter]]s the Shards he kills, preventing anyone taking up those Shards to challenge him.{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}}
Odium intends to do this to every Shard and be the only Shard left, effectively making him unstoppable and giving him free rein in the entire cosmere. And, Odium appears to have no trouble with killing former acquaintances to progress his goals.
