Antagonist

Character Role Analysis

Gaspare Grisini

Gaspare Grisini is the kind of man who uses his powers for evil. He doesn't have loyalty toward anyone in his life, even the children who work for him. In fact, he offers the kids up to Cassandra so they can steal the stone from her and therefore take on its curse, which is a horrid death by fire. Additionally, he's always turning rich little children into puppets so he can hold them ransom, which is exactly what he does to Clara Wintermute.

In the end, though, all of his evil powers cannot save him from an icy death when Clara steals the phoenix-stone and watches him plunge into the lake at Strachan's Ghyll. Evil doesn't triumph after all.
