* [[BigBad Sergei Karpovich.]] Aside from being ''very much'' a TruthInTelevision, the man has no redeeming qualities whatsoever and has not a shred of conscience or remorse for any of the atrocities that he and his people commit. For example, the fact that he can have someone murdered halfway across the world with ''one phone call'' displays how ridiculously powerful he is. Also something of note: if it weren't for his two [[FatalFlaw fatal flaws]], greed and being so paranoid about the loyalty of his employees, [[FridgeHorror you'd have to wonder how long it would have been before he was ever caught.]]

When she tries to make a run for it, she is held by one of the men as she cries desperately for Frédéric, who walks away ([[KarmaHoudini and never receives any punishment as far as we see]]) and she is then brutalized and then raped.
