Botticelli Remorso

"You don't need to be afraid. I know it's dark, but you'll get used to it."

- Botticelli when he makes his first appearance

Botticelli is the main antagonist in the movie The Tale Of Despereaux. He is a cruel, ruthless, and manipulative rat and is the leader of the rat world. In the beginning of the movie, he encountered Roscuro, who was accidentally abandoned and lost. He told Roscuro to join his rat world. Botticeli was also in charge of sporting events in the rat's colloseum, where mice were captured and eaten by a cat for the amusement of several other rats.

When Roscuro was turned to the dark side, he, Boticelli and some other rats captured Princess Pea to be eaten by the rats. Botticelli tried to kill Desperaux by feeding him to the cat. After he was defeated by Despereaux and a redeemed Roscuro, Botticelli got trapped in the cat's cage along with the hungry feline, where he met his end.

Trivia

 * In the book version, Botticelli isn't killed off; rather, he lives in the darkness of the dungeons with the rest of the rats after Despereaux de-tails Roscuro.
 * He is voiced by Ciaran Hinds.
