History Characters / JohanFalkAntagonists

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He was a young criminal who lacked StreetSmarts and was put into a lot of pressure by a sociopathic gangster who he owed money to. And once actually gets the money and intendeds to pay him off, he is shot to death.

* TooDumbToLive: His lack of StreetSmarts and criminal experience puts him into very harmful situations and eventually leads to his death.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: He attempts to blackmail one of Jack’s guys by setting him on fire, then threatening to do it again.

The most recurring villain of the series, [[OverarchingVillain appearing in nearly every film]], and is the leader of the Rydell gang. Easily the smartest of the Rydell Gang, being able to manipulate everyone from his own minions to the police.

* BigBad: The closest thing the first two seasons get to ''the'' big bad. As the most recurring and prominent villain, Seth is the one who has taken the role as a main antagonist most times (see TheHeavy and OverarchingVillain below).

* OverarchingVillain: Seth is the most recurring villain of season 1 & 2. Seth is the main leader of the gang that [[BigGood Frank Wagner]] is infiltrating and stands behind many operations that Frank and The GSI has to stop and is one of the reasons why Frank cannot just up and leave the underworld, while also being a recurring target for The GSI. Seth is also the one who has taken the role as a primary antagonist most times in the first two seasons, unlike other antagonists who usually only appear as a main threat for one film before being killed off. He also has had at least some connections, major or minor, to many (but not all) of the criminal activities and the organized crime that the police are fighting.
** In season 3 he mostly serves as an AntiHero, but is still a criminal.

** In ''Codename: Lisa''. [[spoiler: Seth has found out that Frank Wagner is the leak and spreads a bounty-hunt across the city to kill Frank for 500 000 SEK. However, he gets betrayed by Vijay Khan's henchmen whom tries to have Seth murdered. However, he is saved by Frank himself and is driven to a hospital, so he actually survives the murder-attempt. The real main villain of the movie, and Frank's biggest threat, is the russian mob boss Andrei Dudajev.]]

* NearDeathExperience: [[spoiler: He was almost killed by Vijay's guys after recieving their money. Frank, the guy he intended to have assassinated, saves him just in time and drives the almost-dying Seth to a hospital]].

** He has a shaky one with Jack, but they both eventually want eachother dead after all the history they have between them.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Vijay is a professional man who tries to avoid overcomplicating things, but he does not have any qualms when it comes to murder.

* AffablyEvil: He is polite and well-mannered even if he is a sleazy and greedy attourney.

* DirtyCoward: He abandones one of his clients and immediately runs to the police to search for witness protection if he snitches. [[spoiler: it doesn’t work]].

A restaurant owner and crime lord who appears in the first ''Johan Falk'' installement to ever come out, ''Zero Tolerance''.

A Russian businessman who secretely leads the criminal organization that is present in season 3.

* HateSink: In contrast to [[PragmaticVillainy Jack]], Björkman is really nothing more than a [[SmugSnake smug, arrogant]], JerkAss criminal with [[TooDumbToLive low intelligence]]. Appart from his loyalty for Jack, which admittedly he isn't even very good at, there is nothing to like about him.

* BalkanBastard: Is a serbian crime lord, but he is also very professional and well-mannered.

* TheSociopath: A cold, ruthless mobster who blacksmail the titular character by going after both him and his family.

* TheSociopath: In ''The Child Infiltrator'' of course, he is a sadistc and merciless criminal and you better be able to pay whatever he thinks you owe him or else...

* ButtMonkey: Nobody, including Seth, really takes him serious and he suffers alot of humiliation and indignities throughout the movie because of that.

* TokenGoodTeamate: Downplayed. He is still a criminal, but he is easily the least "evil" in Seth's gang and arguably the [[NiceGuy most sympathetic one]] (when not counting Frank).

* AffablyEvil: He is undeniably one of the nicest criminals in the series. Even if he is a member of a gang that regularly commits acts like murder, robbery and arms-dealing, Martin was very much a NiceGuy and was a good friend to Frank.

* AffablyEvil: He is undeniably one of the nicest and friendliest criminals in the series. Even if he is a member of a gang that regularly commits acts like murder, robbery and arms-dealing, Martin is very likable and hard to dislike.

* StupidCrooks: Deconstructed. He isn't a very competent criminal and at one of his robberies he tells the driver to [[VillainBall run over an innocent old man]] who stood in their way while escaping, which draws even more attention from the police. His lack of experience with the criminal lifestyle is what brings him so much misfortune and even [[FinGore costs him two fingers]]. He really demonstrates that criminals with a lack of planning skills and street-smarts really shouldn't be criminals to begin with.

* AlasPoorVillain: After all the torture he went through, once he finally gathered enough money to pay Heikki off, he gets killed.
* AllForNothing: After all the pressure he was put through, once he finally collected all the money he owed to Heikki he get killed by his guys.
