Lord Barkis Bittern is the primary antagonist of the movie. A large-chinned bully with white hair, he arrives in the village shortly before the Van Dort/Everglot wedding rehearsal. Posing as a guest who's come a day early, he insinuates himself into the rehearsal and begins befriending the Everglots. Initially presenting himself as suave and sophisicated, Barkis is in truth a cold, cruel man who cares only about money. He is the one who murdered Emily after she agreed to elope with him, stealing the money she brought along. After Victor's disappearance, he presents himself as an alternate groom to the Everglots so he can do the same to Victoria, not knowing the Everglots are actually broke. Although he succeeds in marrying Victoria, he fails in doing her any actual harm by the arrival of the dead upstairs for Victor and Emily's wedding. Enraged by Victoria's reveal the Everglots are broke, he attempts later to kidnap her from the church, only to be stopped by Victor and Emily. His attempt at mocking Emily goes awry when he drinks poisoned wine and accidentally kills himself.
