The Film
Solitaire (Jane Seymour)
The Big Bad's Fortune Teller whose genuine ability gave him an edge in the criminal underworld. He also makes it no secret that he's in love with her.

- Post-coital, she's pretty happy about it though...
"For the first time in my life, I feel like a complete woman."

- The Dragon
- Giggling Villain: Well, with a name like "Tee Hee", what did you expect?
- Perma-Stubble
- Perpetual Smiler: Always a grin on his face.

- Evil Laugh
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Is he the real thing, or just a really good performer?
