like manner be seen as a pope.
Hassassin[edit]
The Hassassin (insinuating the Medieval Haschaschin of Hassan Ibn Sabbah;
as frequently as conceivable implied as The Killer) is a discretionary opponent
of Angels and Demons. The Hassassin isn't some segment of the old Illuminati
gathering. He is co-picked into doing beastly deeds under the Illuminati name
by a character called "Janus". He is of Arab plunge, different
conditions suggesting the wrongdoings the Crusaders submitted against his
kinfolk.
In the prelude of the book, The Hassassin asked for a watchword
from Leonardo Vetra to get entrance into the Vetra's puzzle underground
research office which contained a bit, however regardless ruinous, measure of
antimatter. Right when Leonardo fail to assent and give out the key, the
Hassassin cut out one of Leonardo's eyes (which wound up being the key into
Vetra's underground lab) and denoted the Illuminati logo onto his body.
Leonardo's body was greatly damaged and his neck was wound 180 degrees with one
eye missing. The Hassassin stole antimatter (an outstandingly responsive and
explosivesubstance when revealed with issue), remembering the ultimate
objective to begin correct retaliation against the Roman Catholic Church in the
Vatican City by the puzzle society affiliation The Illuminati.
In the wake of butchering Leonardo, the Hassassin went to a
prostitution house as a reward for himself, and takes part in sexual relations
with a prostitute in bondage, whom he by then rapidly considers to execute for
his pleasure. The Hassassin later seized four Cardinals and achieved Camerlengo
Carlo Ventresca, Vittoria Vetra and Robert Langdon were discussing the missing
antimatter from CERN. He gave information concerning the missing Cardinals and
gave them see "Every hour from 8pm each Cardinal will be set apart with
the four segments Earth, Air, Fire and Water in four various places of love
across finished Rome". In the wake of giving the notice he achieved 2 BBC
News journalists who were in the Vatican covering the religious meeting and
gave a comparative information to them about the four missing Cardinals. In the
film, the Hassassin is played by Nikolaj Lie Kaas.
He denoted the Earth picture onto one of four Cardinals and
executed him through oxygen hardship because of the Hassassin lodging soil into
the Cardinal's throat. The Cardinal was executed at the fundamental conciliatory
table of science which was Chigi Chapel at the Santa Maria del Popolo. The
second Cardinal was set apart with the Air picture and had his lungs
puncturedand asphysiated. Still alive, the cardinal (in the cover of a tramp)
was escorted to the second blessed place of science and left stunning Langdon
and Vittoria connected to the conciliatory table at the West Ponente of Saint
Peter's Square. This passing was seen in publicand caused a free for all with
media frameworks beginning degree about the end and possible speculations of
various kidnappings.
The third Cardinal was set apart with the Fire picture and was
singed alive at the third conciliatory stone of science which was the Ecstasy
of St Theresa at the assemblage of Santa Maria della Vittoria. Not in the least
like exchange Cardinals, the Hassassin left this Cardinal buzzing with the
ultimate objective for him to witness his own destruction. Langdon, Vittoria
and Olivetti caught the condition at the gathering however fail to save the
cardinal; in the wake of finding Olivetti's body in a way like her own father's
passing, Vittoria is controlled and kidnapped by the Hassassin, ensuing to
convincing Robert was to conceal inside a sarcophagus, where he just escaped
death byasphyxiation.
The Hassassin takes Vittoria to the Church Of Illumination, which
he is using as his base of operations, and forsakes her bound and stifled
before he leaves with the fourth and last Cardinal.
He goes up
against Langdon at a wellspring, where he chokes out the Cardinal and battles
Langdon. He assumes Langdon is dead after their standoff (darken to him that he
used a submerged air hose to stay alive) and returns to the assemblage,
altogether expecting what he is importance to do to Vittoria.
As the Hassassin reveals to ambush Vittoria, Langdon makes sense of how to find the assemblage and confronts him with a significant, metal shaft. Langdon, nevertheless, is no match for the extremely arranged killer and compelled out onto a shade. As the Hassassin moves to finish Langdon, the yoga-arranged Vittoria, who makes sense of how to make tracks in an opposite direction from her bonds by practically separating her shoulders, strikes the Hassassin with a light, expending his back and drawing his thought a long way from Langdon. With the Hassassin occupied, Langdon and Vittoria make sense of how to push him over the side of the shade, sending him jumping onto a pile of cannonballs underneath, breaking his spinal rope.
In the film modification, the Hassassin, now renamed Assassin, is delineated as an expert assassin with a dark nationality and motivation, other from cash related get. His history isn't determined, beside a succinct moment where he, in torment from shot damage, states "[the Church] made me a reprobate". He holds an inclination with weapons that proposes he has had military planning. Not under any condition like the remorseless and misogynic alter internal identity of the book, the movie character holds several qualms, not capturing Vittoria and demonstrating aversion to choke out the fourth cardinal at Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers, which bombs as Langdon and different spectators make sense of how to save him at the last possible second.
The Assassin picks not to kill Langdon and Vittoria at the Church of Illumination, ensuring he'd be "misusing slugs, since I wasn't paid to finish the both of you off". Instead of being executed by Langdon, the Assassin is killed when he moves into a getaway auto set up for him by the Illuminati pro, with the outcome for his work inside and attempts to drive off. The Assassin is misled as there is a bomb in the auto, which goes off when he turns on the begin.
Maximilian Kohler[edit]
Maximilian Kohler is the weakened authority official of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland and a champion among the most respected and feared people at CERN. People working at CERN called him König in light of the way that he was in every way like a ruler sitting on an electronic wheelchair. The character was chosen not take any other potentially detrimental action for the film change, however a near character, Commander Maximilian Richter, has his effect in the plot, close by sharing different characteristics of Kohler's.
In the novel, Kohler is eminent for his wheelchair stacked with different electronic gadgets, for instance, PC, telephone, and pager. One of his armrest contains a covered littler than ordinary camcorder that empowers him to record chronicles unobtrusively in the midst of get-togethers. His wheelchair in like manner disguises a gun, as he is a respectable marksman and known to deal with shooting in the midst of his additional time.

He was considered in Frankfurt, Germany, as a posterity of a prosperous Christian family. A pre-adulthood ailment left him using a wheelchair since he was denied treatment by his significantly religious gatekeepers who believed the sickness a test from God. Kohler survived basically on the grounds that an expert treated him without his people's data. In this way, Kohler developed a fanatical hatred of religion and an over the best love of science. He has transformed into a generally acclaimed physicist as a noteworthy part of a battle to use science to ruin all religion.
At the begin of the story, Kohler finds Leonardo Vetra's body when Vetra did not show up for a meeting. Kohler went to his condominium and saw him dead. He hardens the body to shield it and contacts Robert Langdon by methods for his own particular site which clearly contained contact purposes of intrigue, however Langdon in Boston, Massachusetts rejects Kohler as trap visitor as his site gives no contact unobtrusive components. Kohler over the long haul influences Langdon of his validity by faxing him a photograph of Leonardo's dead body, which is set apart with an ambigrammatic Illuminati logo.
Langdon agrees to investi
Langdon consents to explore and Kohler sends his fly to take Langdon to CERN's central command where they are met by Leonardo's little girl Vittoria Vetra who trusts that her dad was killed to encourage the burglary of his work - a substantial example of antimatter in Vetra's underground research facility. At the point when Kohler comes back to the principle campaign he gets a telephone call from Vatican City about the missing antimatter. He begins to feel sick, so he induces Langdon and Vittoria to go in his place.
Inside hours, he recouped and went to Vetra's investigation where he found a journal secured Vetra's work area. In the wake of perusing his journal, he could discover the other individual who knows Vetra's examination and flies to the Vatican. With the assistance of Captain Rocher, whom he reached prior and uncovering to him the genuine character of Janus, he questions the Camerlengo and demonstrates his figure is right - the Camerlengo is Janus. With Kohler pointing his firearm at the Camerlengo, he figures out how to separate the admission from the youthful minister who was unwittingly being recorded by Kohler in his video cam. The Camerlengo, not needing Kohler to succeed, brands himself with an ambrigrammic Illuminati iron and shouts out for offer assistance. Langdon, Vittoria and the Swiss watchmen, effectively suspicious that Kohler may be Janus, race into the room and shoot Kohler.
As Kohler lies kicking the bucket, he passes the account to Langdon teaching him to offer it to the media. Langdon thought it was an Illuminati discourse at first until the point that he was helped to remember the tape by a medical attendant while in doctor's facility. Langdon played the video before the Cardinals and uncovered the Camerlengo.
Before the finish of the novel, Gunther Glick detailed that Kohler passed on, because of his long-term disease, as he attempted to offer assistance with the emergency.
In the motion picture form this character does not exist, but instead is somewhat converged with the Captain Rocher of the book into Commander Richter (played by Swedish performing artist Stellan Skarsgård), Head of the Swiss Guard in the film.

Leader Olivetti[edit]
Leader Olivetti is the authority of the Swiss Guards in the Vatican City. Amid the ecclesiastical conference in the Vatican City, Olivetti is accountable for securing the Cardinals amid the conventional administrations. At the point when a surveillance camera disappears in the Vatican, Olivetti is resolved to discover the new area as the camera is as yet delivering a solid flag. At the point when Robert Langdon and Vittoria Vetra touch base in Rome to clarify the brutal reality of the emergency, Vittoria clarifies that her dad Leonardo Vetra was killed and his innovation (a vast amount of antimatter) has disappeared from the CERN central station inGeneva, Switzerland. Vittoria clarifies the reactivity of antimatter to him and urges that he directs a prompt pursuit or else the Vatican City will be wiped out.
Olivetti differs to take after such an emotional advance and bolts up Vittoria and Langdon in his office with a specific end goal to keep such news from achieving Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca. Vittoria figures out how to contact Carlo Ventresca by utilizing Olivetti's officephone. Vittoria figures out how to disclose the circumstance quickly to the Camerlengo, and Olivetti is later requested to convey both Langdon and Vittoria to see him. Olivetti was later slaughtered by The Hassassin amid his central goal to find four seized Cardinals at the fire sacrificial table of science which was the Ecstasy of St Theresa and the congregation of Santa Maria della Vittoria. His neck was seriously harmed and is indistinguishable to Leonardo Vetra's demise. His body was found by Vittoria Vetra in the wake of hearing his telephone going off behind a few seats, which (alongside the astonishing state his cadaver is in, taking after that of her dad) diverts her simply enough so that the Hassassin can quell her with a strike from his elbow.
In the motion picture variant (depicted by performing artist Pierfrancesco Favino), rather than being the leader of the Swiss Guard, Olivetti (his total name expressed as Ernesto Olivetti) is depicted as a somewhat thoughtful Head of the Vatican Police, picking to confide in Langdon and Vittoria even after their mistake at the Pantheon, as the Swiss Guard races off. He later passes on a saint's demise at Santa Maria della Vittoria attempting to spare the third cardinal, going into a nearby battle with the professional killer and having his throat opening as the save party is trapped inside the Basilica.
Commander Rocher[edit]
Commander Rocher is the second-in-summon of the Swiss Guard. He is portrayed as "barrel-chested man with delicate putty-like highlights". He is somewhat colorful, wearing a red beret notwithstanding his Swiss Guard uniform. While the primary storyline covers Commander Olivetti with the assistance of Robert Langdon and Vittoria Vetra scan for the Hassasin, Captain Rocher is put accountable for the look for the antimatter canister.
His inquiry is unsuccessful since he demands looking just the "white zones", the community zones. He solidly trusts it more likely than not been a pariah who set the antimatter since he trusts the Swiss Guard is morally sound. At the point when the eleventh hour Samaritan arrives, Rocher is associated with being an Illuminati since he demands Maximilian Kohler is permitted in for a private meeting with the Camerlengo without a Guard introduce.
At the point when a shout is heard and the Swiss Guards drove by Lieutenant Chartrand burst through the entryway and shoot Kohler, the Camerlengo focuses at Rocher shouting "Illuminatus". Rocher is chafed and strolls toward him in mid-affront, until the point when Chartrand ventures back and responds quickly shooting Rocher in the back. It turns out Rocher seems to have suspected theCamerlengo after Kohler let him know everything, Rocher having been searching for an option clarification to one of his men being a backstabber to represent the antimatter being snuck into the Vatican without his insight. Chartrand notification and inquiries himself "Why is Rocher acting so peculiarly?" In the book, it is said that Rocher discovers who he has been taking requests from after a telephone call, suggesting that he is an Illuminatus taking in the personality of Janus. Truth be told, he discovers that the Camerlengo's actual character.
In the film, the character doesn't exist however the character was changed into Father Simeon, depicted by performer Cosimo Fusco, with his name rather rousing that of Commander Richter. In the film, when the Camerlengo shouts Illuminatus at Simeon, he was shot by the cops alongside Commander Richter. Langdon and Vetra took in the Camerlengo's actual character by viewing on Richter's video accounts.
Carlo Ventresca[edit]
Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca (named Patrick McKenna in the film adjustment) a.k.a. Janus is the principle rival ofAngels and Demons. Carlo Ventresca is the Camerlengo and steadfast worker to the Roman Catholic Church amid the ecclesiastical conference in the Vatican City. In the 2009 film adjustment, to suit Scottish on-screen character Ewan McGregor who plays him, Ventresca's name is changed and he is from Northern Ireland rather than Italy.
He was raised by his mom Maria, whom he used to call Maria Benedetta (the favored Mary). To the inquiries regarding his dad, she would dependably answer that he had kicked the bucket before Carlo was conceived and that now God was his dad. She raised him a strict Catholic by conveying him to Mass each day.
Amid a get-away on Sicily, the congregation they went to went under assault by the Red Brigades and Carlo was the sole survivor. In the film, the story was adjusted with the goal that the assault happened in Northern Ireland and the assailants were the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF). Later he would state that God had spared him by driving him into a protected corner.
A religious administrator from Palermo at that point took him in and Carlo lived and learned under priests. Be that as it may, at 16 years old he was conscriptedinto the Italian armed force. There he declined to discharge a weapon, so the armed force showed him to fly a helicopter and to parachute. In the wake of serving two years, he entered a theological school. At the point when the cleric was chosen Pope, he named Carlo his Camerlengo.
Prior to the underlying occasions happened inside the novel, Carlo had been sent, by the Vatican, to CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research) to meet with researcher Leonardo Vetra. This was to research guarantees that a disclosure of significant religious hugeness had happened. Here, he was demonstrated the system to make antimatter. Carlo was morally bothered by this disclosure, and revealed his discoveries to the Pope, which was met with a positive reaction. The Pope guaranteed that he owed an extraordinary obligation to science, and he concurred with Leonardo Vetra that the disclosure held significant religious hugeness. Carlo was disheartened to hear this from the Pope, so the Pope clarified that he had fathered a tyke, so he owed a profound obligation to science. Stunned and frustrated about this double-crossing to God and the congregation, Carlo relinquished the Pope before the circumstance was clarified. Carlo wound up on St. Dwindle's tomb where he trusted he got directions from God.
Carlo completed this trusted direction by harming the Pope with deadly measurements of Heparin (which the pope required for his disease). Because of his part as the Camerlengo, he took the specialist of the Holy See while another Pope was chosen (in spite of the fact that without the greater part of the Pope' privileges). Amid this day and age, he employed a professional killer to kill the four Cardinals held in the most astounding respect by the school, papabili or preferiti),thus guaranteeing a disarray in the Conclave with respect to who ought to be chosen to the papacy.
He concealed a large number of these activities by expecting a false name as the pioneer of the Illuminati, known as Janus.
The novel at that point starts with the antimatter having been stolen from CERN and covered up in the Vatican, and utilized as a fear based oppressor danger against the congregation. This is known to have been built by the Illuminati, which Carlo is asserting to be the pioneer of. The Illuminati claims that they wish to devastate the Vatican as retribution for the murder and constraint of science before the Age of Enlightenment.
Amid the novel, with one hour before the antimatter is expected to annihilate the Vatican, Maximilian Kohler cases to have data in regards to the area of the antimatter, and reports to the Vatican to offer assistance. It at that point turns out that Kohler thought about the plans of the Camerlengo, and expected to unmask him. When he was faced, he marked himself with the Illuminati precious stone, asserted that Kohler was an Illuminatus and had him shot. Amid this time, Kohler has recorded the meeting on shrouded camera.
Being conveyed outside to St Peter's Square because of his wounds, he all of a sudden stirred and bounced up, exhibiting the brand to the majority. At that point he claimed to get a radiant message uncovering the position of the antimatter, with just 30 minutes until its pulverization. He and Langdon utilized a helicopter to endeavor to escape. Carlo took the sole parachute and landed securely in the Vatican Gardens (without the information of the media or the faithful in St Peter's Square). He at that point ascended to the Basilica and introduced himself an ideal supernatural occurrence to the cheering masses.
In the mean time, Langdon had tuned in to Kohler's video tape, which was given to him as Kohler passed on, on which Carlo admitted that he had killed the Pope and that he was in charge of the psychological militant danger and the murder of the Cardinals. Before the astonished College of Cardinals, he attempted to legitimize his activities, assembling just appreciation. At that point, Saverio Mortati, theCardinal Dean revealed to him reality about the Pope; that he had begun to look all starry eyed at a pious devotee called Maria, that their kid had been fathered through manual sperm injection and he consequently broke no promise. Mortati additionally revealed to him the kid's personality: Carlo Ventresca.
Alarmed by reality and his blame, he consumed himself alive on the overhang of St. Subside's Basilica. His fiery remains, recuperated by Mortati, later the new Pope, were put alongside his dad's sarcophagus.
Presently, it turns out to be evident that Ventresca was chosen Pope by a technique called Acclamation by Adoration, which is the point at which every one of the Cardinals unreservedly serenade one priest's name

Stunned and frustrated about this double-crossing to God and the congregation, Carlo relinquished the Pope before the circumstance was clarified. Carlo wound up on St. Dwindle's tomb where he trusted he got directions from God.
Carlo completed this trusted direction by harming the Pope with deadly measurements of Heparin (which the pope required for his disease). Because of his part as the Camerlengo, he took the specialist of the Holy See while another Pope was chosen (in spite of the fact that without the greater part of the Pope' privileges). Amid this day and age, he employed a professional killer to kill the four Cardinals held in the most astounding respect by the school, papabili or preferiti),thus guaranteeing a disarray in the Conclave with respect to who ought to be chosen to the papacy.
He concealed a large number of these activities by expecting a false name as the pioneer of the Illuminati, known as Janus.
The novel at that point starts with the antimatter having been stolen from CERN and covered up in the Vatican, and utilized as a fear based oppressor danger against the congregation. This is known to have been built by the Illuminati, which Carlo is asserting to be the pioneer of. The Illuminati claims that they wish to devastate the Vatican as retribution for the murder and constraint of science before the Age of Enlightenment.
Amid the novel, with one hour before the antimatter is expected to annihilate the Vatican, Maximilian Kohler cases to have data in regards to the area of the antimatter, and reports to the Vatican to offer assistance. It at that point turns out that Kohler thought about the plans of the Camerlengo, and expected to unmask him. When he was faced, he marked himself with the Illuminati precious stone, asserted that Kohler was an Illuminatus and had him shot. Amid this time, Kohler has recorded the meeting on shrouded camera.
Being conveyed outside to St Peter's Square because of his wounds, he all of a sudden stirred and bounced up, exhibiting the brand to the majority. At that point he claimed to get a radiant message uncovering the position of the antimatter, with just 30 minutes until its pulverization. He and Langdon utilized a helicopter to endeavor to escape. Carlo took the sole parachute and landed securely in the Vatican Gardens (without the information of the media or the faithful in St Peter's Square). He at that point ascended to the Basilica and introduced himself an ideal supernatural occurrence to the cheering masses.
In the mean time, Langdon had tuned in to Kohler's video tape, which was given to him as Kohler passed on, on which Carlo admitted that he had killed the Pope and that he was in charge of the psychological militant danger and the murder of the Cardinals. Before the astonished College of Cardinals, he attempted to legitimize his activities, assembling just appreciation. At that point, Saverio Mortati, theCardinal Dean revealed to him reality about the Pope; that he had begun to look all starry eyed at a pious devotee called Maria, that their kid had been fathered through manual sperm injection and he consequently broke no promise. Mortati additionally revealed to him the kid's personality: Carlo Ventresca.
Alarmed by reality and his blame, he consumed himself alive on the overhang of St. Subside's Basilica. His fiery remains, recuperated by Mortati, later the new Pope, were put alongside his dad's sarcophagus.
Presently, it turns out to be evident that Ventresca was chosen Pope by a technique called Acclamation by Adoration, which is the point at which every one of the Cardinals unreservedly serenade one priest's name
Vittoria Vetra is the adopted daughter of Leonardo Vetra, and works as a scientist at CERN (European
Center for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland.
Vittoria was an orphan who was described as being extremely
curious. She became mutually attached to Leonardo Vetra when he visited her
orphanage, as he would teach her things (like why rain fell) and she could make
him laugh. When Leonardo announced his departure to work for CERN,
he offered to adopt Vittoria so that they could stay together. Vittoria agreed
to come with him and became a marine biologistand a physicist. Vittoria later gave an idea
to her father to create antimatter. She's fluent in English, French, Italian, and Latin.
She features prominently in Angels and Demons as Robert Langdon's sidekick. Vittoria helps
Robert locate kidnapped Cardinals throughout the course of the book. She is
kidnapped by the Hassasin when
they try to get to Cardinal Guidera, and the Hassasin brings her to his Illuminati hideout where he plans to rape her.
She is brought to Castle Saint'Angelo by the Hassasin, but Robert finds her
bound to a divan and gagged and the Hassasin with his knife to her navel when
he appears to rescue her. Vittoria somehow manages to free herself from the
ropes and uses a torch to burn one eye of the Hassasin, who falls from the
balcony and dies. When Robert miraculously returns to Vatican City after the Antimatter
Detonation, she is overjoyed and they kiss passionately. At the end of the book
Vittoria and Robert have intimate relations, but no details are given. In The Da Vinci Code,
it is mentioned that Robert and Vittoria had planned to meet each other at a
different romantic location every six months, but that Robert had not seen her
since they departed from Rome.
It is implied that the relationship did not last very long.
Ayelet Zurer plays
Vetra in the film version,[1] where Vittoria's
relationship with her father (as well as himself), are omitted. She is busy at
the Vatican undercroft examining the body of the deceased pope as Langdon and
Olivetti rushes off to the Santa Maria della Vittoria and is subsequently not
present, nor kidnapped, as in the book version. Her romantic relationshipwith
Robert Langdon that follows the plot is purposely omitted as well, with the
movie closing as Langdon and Vittoria are greeted by Cardinal Baggia, now
elected Pope Luke I, thanking them for their
services.
Dan Brown (born June 22, 1964) is an
American author of thriller fiction who is best known for the 2003 bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code.

Brown's novels that feature the lead character Robert Langdon also include historical themes and Christianity as motifs, and as a result, have generated controversy. Brown
states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian,
though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his bookThe
Da Vinci Code is simply "an entertaining story that
promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may
be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our
faith."
At 200 million books sold, he is one of the highest selling
