Vicious is Spike Spiegel’s former partner in the Red Dragon crime syndicate who becomes his antagonist. He’s central to Spike’s hidden past and the series’ syndicate arc, appearing in episodes such as "Ballad of Fallen Angels," "Jupiter Jazz," and "Sympathy for the Devil." The two clash again in the two-part finale "The Real Folk Blues," where Spike storms the syndicate to face Vicious; they fatally wound each other in their final duel (Spike’s survival is left ambiguous).
