Hugo De Vries is the main antagonist of Inspector Morse franchise, being the archenemy of Inspector Endeavour Morse.
He was portrayed by Ian McDiarmid, who is best known for portraying Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars film series and voiced Lord Henry Wotton in the BBC Radio adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Overview[]
De Vries was an associate with the Masons, who used manipulation, murder and theft in order to frame his old adversary, Inspector Morse, and tried to both topple and torment Morse via his machination.
De Vries is notable for being the only antagonist who nearly defeated Morse during the latter's DCI career, and the second one in Morse's entire life to make that feat after Clive Deare.
He is also considered to be Morse's archenemy in spite of his single appearance in the franchise.

Trivia[]
- Despite being a one-shot antagonist who only appeared in the television series, De Vries is the most dangerous adversary Morse had ever faced, as well as his archenemy.
- In addition, he would arguably be one the closest things to be the franchise's main antagonist (alongside another contender, Gwen Morse) if not for his limited appearances.
- De Vries is notable for being the only antagonist who nearly defeated Morse during the latter's prime, but is not chronologically the first. The first villain who defeated the Morse was Clive Deare, when Morse was still a young constable at the time.
- It remained uncertain whether he will make an appearance in Endeavour or a following series if there has one. Even though he eventually does not appear in Endeavour, it is possible for him to make an appearance if there is a future series.
- It is stated that Morse had confronted him during his sergeant career, of which Enedavour was showing. It is possible that they made their first confrontation not long after Morse being transferred to McNutt's station.
- De Vries is often considered to be Inspector Morse franchise's equaivlance of Professor James Moriarty in terms of his role as Morse's greatest adversaries.
