I guess I just always had the impression the Void had an agenda - since Malzahar and the Void Beasts all speak of an oncoming storm, and that Kassadin stands against it. I think my misunderstand was more that I was trying to place Belial within the existing story arch, when in fact he's just a leach whose food source got taken from him.

But it is a but subtle. ;)
