Jay Christos is the main antagonist of Venco. He is an ancient witch hunter, as old as witchcraft itself, and he is determined to track down and apprehend Lucky and the other VenCo network witches. He is cold and vicious, willing to go to any length to achieve his goals. He is also extremely powerful and has an extensive network of allies, making him a fearsome foe.
Jay is not a one-dimensional antagonist. While his motivations are selfish and his methods are often cruel, he is shown to have a softer side. He is especially protective of Maisie, his young ward whom he adopted as a baby and reared with love and care.
He also has a strong sense of honor and justice as demonstrated when he refuses to harm Lucky or her family despite her interference in his plans. His character is a perfect example of how a villain can be both villainous and sympathetic at the same time, a rare feat in literature.
