Sir Bernard Pellegrin

Sir Bernard Pellegrin is the hidden main antagonist of John le Carre's novel, The Constant Gardener, as well as it's film adaptation. He is the boss friend turned enemy of the shy but mild mannered British diplomat, Justin Quayle as he is essentially the man responsible for causing the tragic death of Tessa Quayle, Justin's beloved wife. In the film, he is played by Bill Nighy, who also played many other villains: Whitey in Flushed Away Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Viktor in the Underworld series, General Fallon in Jack the Giant Slayer and most recently, Prince Naberius in I, Frankenstein.
