Baddies
A little late perhaps for a seasonal puzzle, but these are all literary "baddies" to some degree or another. Question is, in what popular books?
Count Fosco Lady Catherine de Bourg Colonel Clay Harvey Metcalfe Frank Chambers Oskar Rondheim Villefort Zoran Zilic Teddy Magyk Erik Mr Wint and Mr Kidd LeJaune Golly Oaks Arnold Zeck Reacher Gilt Chauvelin Brigid O'Shaugnessy Something to while away a spare moment. |

The only one I recognised was Lady Catherine. Either I've not read a lot of books I should have read, or I've forgotten them all......

Chauvelin is from The Scarlet Pimpernel. Not sure I'd call him a villain, but he's surely an antagonist.
