Biography

Vilain is the leader of a mercenary group known as the Sangs, and he crosses paths with the Expendables in Albania when he captures their newest and youngest member, Billy "The Kid" Timmons. He then demands that they drop their weapons and give him the case with the coordinates to an abandoned Soviet plutonium mine. After the team drop their guns and give the case to Vilain, he has Hector hold Barney's knife to Billy's chest as he roundhouse kicks it into Billy's chest, killing him as the Expendables watch in horror, powerless to do anything about it. In so doing, Vilain becomes the vengeful group's primary target.

Villain later finds the weapons grade plutonium he has been searching for in the abandoned mine and excavates it, intending to sell it to the highest bidder. After gaining the plutonium with Hector's help, he attempts to transport it by plane but is stopped by the Expendables and their allies, Trench Mauser and Mr. Church. To buy time for the plutonium to be loaded onto the plane, Vilain, Hector and his soldiers battle the Expendables and their allies. After Vilain draws Barney Ross to him, they engage in a gun fight until Vilain runs out of ammunition. He then goads Ross into facing him in a fair fight and they battle each other, with Vilain holding the upper hand throughout most of the fight. However, Ross finally defeats Vilain by beating him down with chains before stabbing him in the chest with the same knife he used to kill Billy. Finally, Ross cuts Vilain's head off and presents it in a bloody bag to Trench and Church to prove the villain is dead.
