**Lyutsifer Safin** (Russian: **Люцифер Сафин**) is the final antagonist of the *James Bond* reboot series starring Daniel Craig, serving as a mentioned character in *Spectre* and the main antagonist of the final film in the series, *No Time to Die*. He is a highly dangerous terrorist that seeks revenge against Spectre for the murder of his family.

He was played by Rami Malek.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* Rami Malek gives a very creepy and unsettling performance as Safin.
* The reason he turns evil is because he was horrifically scarred by Mr. White when Ernst Stavro Blofeld, leader of Spectre, had him kill the rest of his family by poisoning them with the chemical weapons his parents helped them develop. While this doesn’t excuse his most actions, it is at least a very sensible excuse that motivates him and doesn't make him petty, unlike say Blofeld's main motivation being he thought his father preferred Bond over him.
* Regrows his own poison garden which he uses as his own memorial to his father.
* Even though she was the daughter of his family's killer, he saved Madeleine's life for genuinely altruistic reasons (which would've been subverted later on).
* Manipulates Dr. Valdo Obruchev into joining his cause and to help him reprogram the Heracles nanobot.
* Always speaks in a polite demeanor to even his enemies.
* Tricks the MI6 by having Primo stage the kidnapping of Dr. Obruchev for his own goals.
* Said goal is to have Obruchev reprogram the Heracles to wipe out Spectre, managing to make a fool out of even Blofeld when his attempt to kill Bond using the nanobots resulted in the deaths of the rest of Spectre's agents, no easy feat as Blofeld is an extremely strategic mastermind who is able to do evil plots even while behind bars. Considering how vile Spectre and Blofeld is, being an organization that has women and children sold to sex slavery to feed its accounts, despite being an NPE, you would actually side with Safin in his quest to destroy them.
* Manipulates Swann into infecting herself with the nanobots to kill Blofeld, which ends up succeeding when Bond touches her and then attacks Blofeld when the latter provoked him, doing the world a big favour by killing off one of its vilest criminals, and succeeding in one of his main goals in vengeance of Spectre.
* Leads a successful kidnapping of Madeleine and her daughter, Mathilde, managing to trick Bond using his soldiers to do so.
* Has a very polite facade towards Mathilde, and even when she bites his hand to escape and his use of using her as protection is over, Safin still leaves her alive, which implies he has standards against harming children directly.
* Unlike other *Bond* villains, he actually shoot Bond during the last fight. Safin didn't it during their first meeting, but it likely because he thought that murdering Bond before his daughter's eyes is disgusting.
* Pulls of a feat that no one in the entire *James Bond* franchise was able to do, end up killing off the titular protagonist, the fact that it is even posthumous and indirectly actually makes it better as he personally leaves Bond no choice to stay in the island even when it is about to be blown up, giving him another victory, and he infects Bond while fighting him also.
	+ With this, he even smiles as Bond points the gun and shoots him at the head 3 times.

## What Makes Him A Baddie?

* His plot is to use Heracles to wipe out millions of people, with some innocent people and the family members of the criminals being targeted also, planning to use his plot to rule the world as a god.
* Murders Madelaine's mother in cold-blood and attempted to do so on Madelaine.
* Infects Bond with the Heracles containing the reprogramming using Madelaine's and Mathilde's genetic code, threatening their lives as he notes just a minor contact with them can kill them both.

## Trivia

* So far, he is one of four *James Bond* Magnificent Baddies, alongside Francisco Scaramanga, Raoul Silva, and Alec Trevelyan.
