Teddy is the secondary main antagonist in the 2014 film, The Equalizer. However, despite being the main antagonist, he is actually a minion to the true main villain of the film.

He is portrayed by Marton Csokas.

Overview
Teddy is sent by his employer, Russian mafia boss Vladimir Pushkin, to travel to Boston and kill Robert McCall (the protagonist). He spends the entire film pursuing McCall and attempting to capture him. It is revealed that Teddy's real name is Nikolai, and that he used to be a Spetsnaz. Later on, Teddy and his men break into Home Mart (where McCall works) and hold everyone hostage and threaten to kill them unless McCall surrenders. Having already killed a number of Teddy's henchmen, McCall creates a chemical explosion that kills the last of Teddy's men, and kills Teddy himself with a nail gun.

Trivia

 * Although Teddy is Pushkin's minion, he drives the plot of the film and does most of the work, and he also had bigger plans than anyone else.
