Don John, the illegitimate brother of Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon. He plots to make Don John miserable by making Claudio (one of Don Pedro's soldiers) think Hero (Claudio's bride-to-be and niece of Don Pedro's host Leonato) has been unfaithful - and in the process embarrass his brother when Claudio dumps Hero in front of everyone. The plan almost works - Claudio believes the deception and publicly humiliates Hero and her uncle Leonato by publicly rejecting Hero just before the wedding but the nightwatch stumbles upon Don John's accomplices and learns what really transpired. The accomplices are taken into custody, Claudio and Hero get married after all, and Don John is captured (offstage).
