Karen Becker (Republic of Doyle)

Karen Becker (Julia Chan) is a recurring villainess from Republic of Doyle. She was the niece of Maurice Becker, a notorious rum smuggler and crime boss. Karen initially appeared in episode 1.05, "Hit and Rum" (airdate February 3, 2010), during which Karen and Maurice were encountered by Jake and Malachy Doyle, with the father-son private detective duo uncovering Maurice's smuggling operation in Newfoundland. Over the course of the investigation, Karen briefly seduced Jake before helping him and Malachy catch her uncle, drugging him before he had the chance to flee.
Karen later re-appeared in episode 3.09, "Mirror, Mirror" (airdate March 7, 2012), during which Maurice contacted Jake for help in locating his niece, who was now the owner of her own helicopter hangar. But in actuality, the hangar was actually a front for rum smuggling, and had previously traded a large shipment in for a load of bearer bonds.
Karen re-encountered Jake when he and Maurice went to her hangar, with Karen giving Jake a kiss before turning heel and drugging him with chloroform. After Karen was revealed as a smuggler, the villainess was tracked down to The Duke of Duckworth bar, with Leslie Bennett stopping Karen from trying to flee. Karen was then handcuffed and arrested, but not before learning that Maurice had found her bonds and replaced them with postcards, having conspired with Karen's henchman Horace Whitemore to make off with her bonds.
