J.R. Ewing

John Ross Ewing Jr., better known as J. R. Ewing, is the main villain of the extremely popular TV Series DALLAS.

History
J.R. was the son of Jock Ewing, whom was a powerful oil tycoon in Texas. Since the age of five J.R. was groomed to become the leader of Ewing Oil and was taught to be a deceptive and cut throat business man.

He had two brothers named Gary and Bobby, both of which he never really cared for. Gary had no involvement in Ewing Oil, and chose instead to be a rancher in Southfork, while Bobby worked at both Southfork and Ewing Oil. It was no secret that Bobby was the favorite son, which only made J.R. want to be even more successful in the oil industry.

Though J.R. was successful, Bobby remained the favorite son and leaving a permanent rift between the two. J.R. was also a big womanizer, and had two failed marriages do to his own infidelity. He had three sons, one from each wife and one from an affair that he didn't know about until the eleventh season of the show. His son John Ross Ewing III was the only person who seems to have his genuine affection.

Being an important oil tycoon, J.R. had many enemies in the business and many family enemies who despise his selfish and manipulative ways. He was shot by his first sister-in-law, who was also his mistress. J.R. survived, but never pressed charges because she claimed to be pregnant. Near the end of the series, J.R. had been defeated by a combination of his enemies and an alcohol problem. Losing his company to rivals Cliff Barnes and Carter Mckay, he wandered Southfork ranch alone with a gun and bourbon bottle.

He contimplated how he had done nothing but hurt his family and how better off they'd be with him gone. A gunshot was heard and Bobby found J.R. and it was implied he commited suicide. In a reunion movie it was revealed he shot a mirror, and he moved to Europe for a few years. He returned to Texas and reclaimed Ewing Oil from Cliff Barnes and conned 50,000,000 dollars from Carter McKay. He gave control of Ewing Oil to Bobby and later became president of West Star Oil.
