Patrice Saint-Clair is the secondary antagonist of the action film Taken, the first installment of the Taken franchise.

He is the greedy head of an operation where girls get kidnapped by criminals and get sold off on the black market as sex slaves, doing this all to make as much money as possible. When former CIA operative Bryan Mills, whose daugher has been abducted by Saint-Clair's associates, goes to Paris, France to save his daughter, Saint-Clear will do all he can to stop Mills from dismantling his operations.

He was portrayed by Gérard Watkins.

His Evil Ranking

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?

• He is running the whole sex trafficking operation within the film, making him responsible for dozens of girls being kidnapped and brought to the black market to be sold off as sex slaves.
• He shows himself to be apathetic about the lives he is ruining with this operation, viewing it as nothing more than a business and a unique business at that, showing that he's willing to allow girls to be sold off and raped just for money.
• After confronting Bryan for interfering with the operation, he orders his henchmen to kill him albeit quietly as he has guests before leaving the room.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?

• When Bryan reveals to him that he is the father of the last girl that was being auctioned off, Patrice talks about how he is a father himself and has 2 sons and a daughter explaining that he knows how he feels which, while debatable in terms of whether it gives him mitigating sympathy for Bryan or not, at least shows that he does have some love for his children with him using them as the reasoning as to why he knows how Bryan feels in terms of trying to rescue Kim.
