| ~ Teleborian while molesting a young Lisbeth Salander. |
Dr. Peter Teleborian is one of the primary antagonists of the late Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy, featured in the novels The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. He is a prominent psychiatrist and closet pedophile who conspires with the corrupt government agency The Section to institutionalize protagonist Lisbeth Salander.
In the Scandinavian film trilogy based on the novels, he was portrayed by Anders Ahlbom Rosendahl, who also voiced Ghrak in the Swedish dub of Strings.
Biography[]
Early life[]
In 1991, Teleborian was ordered by the Section to institutionalize 12-year-old Lisbeth Salander after she attacked her father, crime boss Alexander Zalachenko, with a petrol bomb in order to stop him from beating her mother. Zalachenko had been giving the Section intel on his native Soviet Union, and they wanted to prevent Salander from revealing his crimes and sending him to prison, thus discrediting him as a source.
Teleborian diagnosed Salander as a psychopath and had her strapped down every night for over a year while force-feeding her behavior modifying drugs. Officially, Teleborian prescribed this severe regime to stop her from hurting herself and others; in reality, however, he drugged her and tied her up to vent his twisted sexual desire for her in a legal fashion. Salander later described him to her on-again-off-again lover Mikael Blomkvist as the evilest man she had ever met.
In the Millennium Trilogy[]
In The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, set 15 years later, Teleborian attempts to once more have Salander committed on orders from the Section after she attacks her father with an axe, once again severely injuring him. This time, however, Teleborian and the Section meet their match in Salander and Blomkvist, the latter an investigative journalist who is able to uncover and expose the Section's conspiracy.
Before the trial, Salander and her fellow computer hackers access the hard drive of Teleborian's laptop, on which he has downloaded thousands of images of child pornography, and anonymously sends it to the police. During the trial, Salander's attorney rips Teleborian's testimony to shreds and exposes his lies. At the very end of the testimony, Teleborian is publicly arrested for possessing child pornography. Defeated, Teleborian simply allows the police to lead him away. As he is taken into police custody, his former victim glares at him with fire in her eyes.
