i have used this in the past and it works as long as you have a Player you can trust to keep there mouth Shut. also don't use it very often
have a Player roll up two characters , and start playing with the Sacrificial one, after a session or 3 when people are invested in there characters arrange for your villain to ambush or take prisoner the players, and then have him Kill your Sacrificial PC as messily and graphically and easily as possible.
and you can even use a Lieutenant for the real villein as once your player have killed the Lieutenant, they will transfer the hate and loathing onto your Boss
this i found worked wonders in motivating my players into wanting to hunt him down and kill him.
note this is not for every campaign, and i would use it only if i was having trouble getting players involved,
