~ Foyet threatening Aaron Hotchner and his family |
George Foyet, better known as The Reaper, is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Mr. Scratch) of the crime-drama TV series Criminal Minds.
He is a narcissistic, sociopathic and misogynistic serial killer who appears in Season 4, Season 5, Season 9, and Season 15. He makes his debut in "Omnivore", meets his end in "100", appears in a dream sequence in "Route 66", and makes his last appearance in another dream sequence in the Season 15 finale "And in the End".
He is portrayed by C. Thomas Howell, who also voiced Professor Zoom in Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Though the Reaper was abused by his father, this is never played for sympathy. In fact, BAU Agent Aaron Hotchner actually tries to play it for sympathy, but Foyet denies that he was abused, saying that those are Hotchner's words, not his.
- He hates women and sees them as weak, because his mother couldn't protect him from his father's abuse.
- He killed his mother and father in a car crash when he was 9-years-old.
- He used his teaching position to groom his female students.
- He murdered twenty victims, prior to the events of "Omnivore".
- He made himself look like a victim by stabbing himself.
- He made a deal with the lead detective Tom Shaunessy; "If you stop hunting me, I'll stop hunting them." He only did this, so he could watch Shaunessy's life fall apart, as he found that more enjoyable than killing.
- He immediately began killing again after Shaunessy died.
- He offered Hotchner the same deal as Shaunessy in an attempt to destroy his life as well, with Hotchner turning it down being a huge part of why Foyet began to terrorize him.
- He killed Michael O'Mara, the new lead detective.
- He tackled Agent Derek Morgan through a window, knocking him out. Afterwards, stealing his credentials and leaving a bullet behind as a reminder that he could've killed him as a taunt.
- He massacred six people on a bus as a message to Hotchner.
- He attacked Hotchner in his home.
- He stabbed Hotchner 9 times, just enough to severely injure him, but not enough to kill him.
- While he took Hotchner to a hospital afterwards, it was not not because he cared about his well-being, but because he wanted to continue to torment him.
- He tortures US Marshall Sam Kassmeyer for the location of Hotchner's wife.
- This included shooting out both of his legs, shooting him through the foot, and cutting off his fingers.
- Sam refused to tell Foyet, but he found out anyways by calling random numbers on the phone; making his torture of Sam, pointless.
- He poses as a US Marshall and tells Haley that Hotchner was dead and her position's been compromised; to terrify her all while letting Hotchner listen in on this phone call.
- He forces Hotchner to listen as he murders Haley.
- When Hotchner arrives to rescue his family, Foyet attempts to kill him.
- He threatens to kill Jack after showing him the bodies of his dead parents and telling him that it was Hotchner's fault.
