Henley Farrer



Henley Farrer is a key antagonist in the Avengers episode Legacy of Death.

Farrer is a wealthy orientalist collector and the holder of the cursed Falcon Dagger. At the beginning of the episode, Farrer is informed by his butler Zoltan that his guests arrived at the airport and are coming to kill him. Farrer then entrusts the Falcon Dagger to Zoltan and goes into his coffin confident he will cheat the assassins.

As Farrer seemingly dies, Zoltan places his Last Will and Testament in the coffin. After Zoltan leaves, two men named Sidney Street and Humbert Green feel cheated out of the chance to kill Farrer. Zoltan promises the Falcon Dagger will give Steed Farrer's treasures but it will actually bring him to an unforunate end.

As Steed and Tara King break into Farrer's home, they realize Farrer was a liar, cheater and a cold-blooded murderer. Just then, Farrer emerges from his casket alive and well and shows that his enemies would be coming to get him once he had found a large pearl. With all his enemies in the open, Farrer decides to have them all killed. As many of the people are killed, Steed guns Farrer down, knocking him back into his coffin and somehow getting the pearl shrunk by wine.
