"WARNING: SPOILER ALERT. Use Caution and obey the spoiler signals!"
Antagonist, contains plot and/or ending details of Dying Light and all its related media. Proceed at your own discretion.
Antagonists, sometimes referred to as archenemies or villains, are the polar opposite of the protagonist, typically serving as the main threat that the hero must overcome. A story may have multiple antagonists, though there is usually only one main villain.
Description of Most Antagonists[]
The antagonist is commonly positioned against the protagonist and their world order. While narratives often portray the protagonist as a hero and the antagonist as a villain, the antagonist does not always appear as the villain. In some narratives, the protagonist is a villain and the antagonist is an opposing hero.
Antagonists are conventionally presented as making moral choices less savory than those of protagonists. This condition is often used by an author to create conflict within a story. This is merely a convention, however.

List of Prominent Antagonists[]
 Kadir Suleiman
|
Kadir Suleiman is the main antagonist of Dying Light. Rais announces to Kyle Crane that he made a deal with the Global Relief Effort (GRE). He plans to give them the file in return for an evacuation, and will watch as they weaponize the virus and profit from people's suffering. Crane hastily travels to Rais's Headquarters to try and stop him. After evading numerous infected, Crane comes face to face with Rais (armed with an engraved machete) on the rooftop. Rais tosses a throwing knife into Crane's collarbone and the two brawl as the GRE evacuation helicopter hovers overhead. After being stabbed with his own machete, he tackles Crane and falls onto a shipping crate with him, where Crane dangles on the edge with the research as Rais, severely injured, approaches him. Crane eventually tricks Rais into letting down his guard, and he pulls the knife out of his collarbone and stabs him in the neck, thus pulling him from the tower, sending him tumbling to his death. | |
