Baron Danglars is a fictional character in the 1844 adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, and one of the three main antagonists alongside Gérard de Villefort and Fernand de Morcerf. He begins the story as the supercargo of the merchant ship Pharaon, along with its first mate Edmond Dantès. Motivated by jealousy over Dantès's promotion to captain, Danglars writes the letter that accuses Dantès of Bonapartism, leading directly to his imprisonment in the Château d'If.
