Mr. Wickham
Mr. Wickham profits off of other people's folly. This is most prominently seen when he elopes with Lydia. He does not really want to marry her. He merely wants a companion while he escapes from his gambling debts. We know this because he repeated the same pattern with Darcy's sister, Georgiana. He also profits by lying to Lizzy about the relationship between he and Mr. Darcy. Wickham claims that Darcy cheated him of what was rightfully his. What really happened is the Wickham squandered his second chance and wasted Darcy's money. Wickham never thinks ahead and he only wants to live in the moment, a trait that hurts everyone he comes in contact with.
