[[File:Vecna.jpeg|thumb]]
Vecna 

* In Season 4 & 5, Jamie Campbell Bower assumed the role of the primary antagonist, Vecna, who would create portals to the Upside Down, delve into past traumas, and manipulate children for his own benefit. His objective throughout the series was to merge Hawkins with the Upside Down. He deceived the child by feigning friendship, adopting the identity of Mr. Whatssit in Season 5 to exert influence over them. However, Henry is not only reviled in various roles but is also recognized as 001, having been imprisoned by Brenner in the Hawkins laboratory where he received the designation 001 and was subjected to experimentation, from which he later escaped.
