Fereshteh (Scandal)

Fereshteh (Layla Alizada) is a villainess from Season Four of Scandal. She was introduced in episode 4.12, "Gladiators Don't Run," and was revealed in the beginning of the following episode, "No More Blood," as an Iranian representative of the winner of an online, worldwide auction for the rights to Olivia Pope.
Olivia Pope was abducted earlier in the season by a group working for villainous VPOTUS Andrew Nichols, in his and Elizabeth North's plan to coerce President Fitz Grant to wage war on West Angola. She was later held up for auction, with Iran winning in the end of "Gladiators Don't Run." Olivia and her captors encountered Fereshteh in "No More Blood," with the villainess speaking to her superior (in Farsi) in a phone conversation.
As Olivia correctly deduced, the evil Fereshteh received orders to kill the captors after Olivia is turned over, and she used this to her advantage, as she (also in Farsi) informed Fereshteh that the captors would kill her and her henchmen. Gus, the leader of the captors, approached Fereshteh, who later pointed a gun at him. She made a deal for both sides to go their separate ways, while passing on Olivia, after with both sides drive off.
