To me, "complete" for a villain means defeating them at the end. Which doesn't necessarily mean killing them, turning Discord good was a satisfactory end to his evil as well even if others disagree. Although they COULD have revealed more about his backstory, the fact that they didn't makes him more mysterious. And people complained that doing just that with Palpatine ruined the mysterious character we knew in RotJ. And they MIGHT do a backstory episode with Celestia and Luna fighting him, you never know.

Or maybe they couldn't think of a backstory as to how a pony could become a being of pure evil. Maybe he didn't need one, as he was just highly ambitious and sadistic and used dark magic to do everything he did. Or maybe he was a manifestation of darkness who took a unicorn's form like what Mephiles did. I guess his beginning is like Chrysalis's end; up for us to figure out unless they decide to reveal later.
