A '''villain''' (also known as the "antagonist," "baddie", "bad guy", "heavy" or "black hat") is an "evil" character in a [[story]], whether a [[historical narrative]] or, especially, a work of [[fiction]].

== Description ==

The villain usually is the antagonist (though can be the protagonist), the character who tends to have a negative effect on other characters.

A female villain is occasionally called a villainess (often to differentiate her from a male villain).

Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines villain as:

<blockquote>A cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel; or a character in a play, novel, or the like, who constitutes an important evil agency in the plot".</blockquote>
