Bill's backstory is pretty mysterious and probably meant to be kept that way. He's apparently from the "second dimension" (a different one than the place Ford encountered in the portal) which he destroyed. (I think this is maybe at best semi-canon, but there are some references to Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions in Bill's design and in the Bill Cipher AMA, so if you're interested in learning about at least one theory regarding where he comes from you can read the full text of Flatland online.)

I don’t think his destroying it was an accident, though. His assertion that he "liberated" his dimension despite the fact that it had apparently decayed to the point of being unlivable even for Bill makes him seem pretty unrepentant. As did the fact that he apparently wanted to do the exact same thing to our dimension. We'll probably never know how he got the powers he has--there are some things about Bill's origin that I think will always be kept mysterious, and it's probably better that way.

As for his character/motivations, I'm personally of the opinion that he isn't that deep. Alex's own description of Bill's motivations in an AV Club interview is that he's "been around for countless billions of eons, but he hasn’t grown up in that time," that he gets angry when he's told he can't do something, when he's given any sort of limitations or rules. But despite his talk about liberation and total freedom and chaos, when we see him in Weirdmageddon it becomes clear by his actions (immediately declaring himself god-king and bossing everyone around) that the only freedom he's really interested in is the freedom for him, personally, to do whatever he wants all the time.

^^ & also folklore/mythology from countires whose stories are less well known. unlike adapting say, a greek myth (not that its bad to do so but less likely to be original), you could try a thai one!
