Vengeance must be profound... and absolute!
~ Aamir Barkawi to his son Kamran.

Aamir Barkawi is the main antagonist of the 2016 film London Has Fallen, the second installment of the Has Fallen series.

He is a wanted arms dealer turned terrorist mastermind who, much like the series' previous villain Kang Yeonsak, deemed the United States and other Western nations to be very hypocritical and wanted them to pay for their actions - which he considered to be criminal - by having them witness the death of their respective leaders including President Benjamin Asher.

He was portrayed by Alon Abutbul, who also played General Morando in Tales of Arcadia and Avi Drexler in Snowfall.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

Born in Pakistan, Aamir Barkawi soon went on to become an infamous arms dealer and terrorist leader, by selling arms to every failed state in the world and was number 6 of the FBI's most wanted list for his terrorist acts, which selling illegal firearms to those who used them against the United States. He had connections to various terrorist groups, mercenaries and dummy corporations. He had two children, Kamran Barkawi and Amal Mansoor.

Barkawi was also responsible for several terror bombings around the world in order to foster violence and instability, which would fuel his arm sales around the globe.

London Has Fallen[]

At the compound in Pakistan, Barkawi was with two brothers Sultan and Raza Mansoor as Kamran arrived for Amal's wedding. Kamran had to speak with his father in private. Kamran informed him that he had to kill a BND officer because the agent compromised their operation. Barkawi told his son that he doesn't forget the man's family since vengeance should be profound and absolute. During the celebration, Barkawi was with guests at the wedding party. During the celebration, a drone missile hit the site, which killed Amal, but Barkawi survived.

Barkawi would discover the strike was authorized by the G8 in an attempt to kill him and he and Kamran swore vengeance on the world leaders who authorize the strike. Barkawi would pay 20 million euros to MI5 Counter-Intelligence Chief, John Lancaster, to be his mole in their plan to attack the world leaders in London.

After their secret assassination of British Prime Minister James Wilson, Barkawi hid in Yemen while Kamran oversees their operation in London. He prerecorded his message of his vengeance to online and warned that the Western world will be changed forever.

When Barkawi arrived in his hideout, he gets on his computer and spoke to Sultan, who lost both legs in the drone strike. Sultan told Barkawi that Wilson's successor Leighton Clarkson and U.S. President Benjamin Asher survived their attack, but they took out the other world leaders in the G7. Barkawi acknowledged that they just changed the world and told Sultan to initiate plan B as he closed his laptop.

After his prerecorded video message was sent to the social media, Barkawi contacted U.S. Vice President Allan Trumbull through an untraceable video network. He insisted to Trumbull that he had never lifted his finger against the United States, but Trumbull countered that he had armed those who have. Trumbull asked Barkawi what he wanted. Barkawi said he wants President Asher delivered to him. When Trumbull refused, Barkawi said that every death from there on out will be on his head. With that, he logged off.

Later in the night in London, Barkawi watched the live feed as Kamran was about to publicly execute Asher, and he smiled about it. Just before Asher was executed, a U.S. Secret Service agent who is a former Army Ranger, Michael "Mike" Banning, burst in and disrupted the live execution.

After the failed execution, Barkawi gets a call from Kamran's satellite phone. After taking the call, he assumed it was Kamran, but it was revealed to be Trumbull instead. The surprised and angered Barkawi tells the U.S. Vice President that his vengeance will be everlasting, and he will dedicate his entire life to his death. Trumbull told him to look at his window.

Barkawi then looked up at the window above him and sees a drone launching a missile above him. Realizing he was about to get killed, Barkawi slowly puts the phone down and let out a rueful, defeated smile as the drone missile hits the compound, killing Barkawi and his men instantly. His death also avenged the losses of the world leaders and all those killed in London.

Appearance[]

He is a tall old man with gray hair and is about 50 years old.
