Hugo De Vries is the main antagonist of Inspector Morse franchise, being the archenemy of Inspector Endeavour Morse.
He was portrayed by Ian McDiarmid, who is best known for portraying Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars film series and voiced Lord Henry Wotton in the BBC Radio adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray.

•In addition, he would arguably be one the closest things to be the franchise's main antagonist (alongside another contender, Gwen Morse) if not for his limited appearances.
•De Vries is notable for being the only antagonist who nearly defeated Morse during the latter's prime, but is not chronologically the first. The first villain who defeated the Morse was Clive Deare, when Morse was still a young constable at the time.

•It is stated that Morse had confronted him during his sergeant career, of which Enedavour was showing. It is possible that they made their first confrontation not long after Morse being transferred to McNutt's station.
•De Vries is often considered to be Inspector Morse franchise's equaivlance of Professor James Moriarty in terms of his role as Morse's greatest adversaries.
