Villains: #11 The Operative

Villain categories

Villains can be categorized into five different subtypes, villains who: 1.) Believe they are doing the right thing (the ends justifies the means) E.g. Magneto (X-men). 2.) Are just scary and mad, or live for destruction, there's no plot nor any obvious reason for a particular target. E.g. The Joker (The Dark Knight) 3.) Seeks revenge, e.g. Khan Star Trek. 4.) Wants power (rule the world), e.g. Blofeldt (James Bond). 5.) Are henchmen, subordinates or robots. They are either without a will, do it for fun or lack of intelligence. E.g. Jaws (James Bond films).

#11 The Operative

Villain from:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/
Serenity

The Operative portrayed by Chiwetel Ejiofor comes from the world of Whedon and stars in Serenity as the antagonist to Mal. He clearly belongs to subtype 1. We know nothing of his past nor his name. The only thing we know is that he "believe". He does not go around flashing his ident card like others, the simple reason is that he does not carry one. Protecting the affairs of the alliance he is a monster, as he admits. To stop him you must yourself believe. "This is a good death".

Grade = 8
