The Villains

Every crime drama has their adversaries, but Bones has had at least 6 know SERIAL KILLERS. One is still alive, while the others have been declaring dead.

Gormagon- ( Season 1 - season 3)

Gormagon was the name of a serial killer who loved to eat people's faces off. Compared with other serial killers, Gormagon wasn't really focused on that much. Killed and shot by Seeley Joseph Booth.

Howard Epps- (Season 1 - Season 3)

Epps was another serial killer who loved killing victims by hanging them upside down. He had a secret obsession with Brennan. He died falling down from Brennan's apartment balcony.

Heather Taffet aka " The Gravedigger" ( season 2 - Season 6)

Played by Deirdre Lovejoy, Heather Taffet (The Gravedigger) was set as a record for the series, as Taffet was focused on the fifth season. The Gravedigger started off with the kidnapping of both Dr. Temperance Brennan and Dr. Jack Hodgins. They were rescued ( Thankfully)  by their team members. The show took a two-season break from Taffet, they didn't focus on her again until season four. In season 4, Taffet kidnapped Agent Booth but he escapes and is rescued by a helicopter by Brennan.  In season five, Taffet is tried and convicted of her past crimes. The saga finally ends when she is assassinated by a rogue sniper named Jacob Ripkin Broadsky.

Jacob Ripkin Broadsky (season 6)

Since he was only focused for one season, he technically doesn't qualify as a serial killer. All that can be said is that he was a rogue sniper who wanted revenge against Booth. He was the one who murdered Jeffersonian intern, Vincent Nigel.  

Christopher Pelant ( Season 7 - season 9)

Pelant was portrayed by Andrew Leeds. Pelant was probably deemed the most horrifically intelligent serial killer and computer hacktivist, the team has ever come across in the history of serial killers. His favorite thing to do when dumping his victims was sending messages to the team with flowers. He interested with Brennan soon after he met her and Booth. He later framed Brennan for the murder of Brennan's friend, Ethan Sawyer, causing her to go on the run with her infant, Christine. Pelant is later caught on murder charges of his old high school teacher and for violating his parole. It is later found out that he is supposed to be transferred to Egypt, or we all thought. He soon targets Hodgins and Angela by stealing all of their money, leaving Hodgins broke. Booth wounds him shooting his eye out (not literally). He gets back at Booth by Blackmailing him into calling off the wedding to Brennan. Stating that if Booth didn't, that five innocent people would die. He is finally shot and killed by Booth, but not before hinting towards Brennan that there is another killer out there. A woman who goes by the name "Ghost Killer".

The Ghost Killer ( season 9)

This killer was hardly focused on

The Marionette Killer  ( season 11- season 12)

The Marionette Killer was portrayed by Eric Milligan. This might be the most controversial serial killer since some of the fans didn't really want to believe that Zack could have committed these grotesque murders. But all evidence point directly toward him,
