Justice Lawrence John Wargrave is the main antagonist of Agatha Christie's mystery novel And Then There Were None.
He's a retired judge who invited nine people to Soldier Island to kill them for their unpunished crimes.
What Makes Him A Shonen Villain?[]
- Villainous/Anti-Villainous: Kills 9 criminals onscreen and at least one offscreen.
- Powerful/Skillful: As a judge.
- Pursues a Big-End Goal: To punish any criminal he meets.
- Intelligent: His plan was so good that both viewers/readers and other characters never exposed him as a criminal until the note in the bottle was found.
- Cold-Hearted/Ruthless: Towards his victims.
- Short-Tempered: While he never shows his emotions onscreen, he is definitely outraged by his victims' crimes.
- Psychopathic: His methods definitely can be described this way.
- Freudian Excuse: He is a well-intentional extremist, as he only kills criminals.
