Answer:
Bela
'Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night, can become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright'. The wolfbane was in bloom, and the autumn moon was shining bright, but Larry Talbot, Gwen, and Jenny had no idea that an outing to see a gypsy fortune teller would lead to death and tragedy in "The Wolf Man". One of the movie's best scenes was when Bela gazed at Jenny's palm and saw a pentagran which marked her as his next victim. Bela found peace at last when Larry killed Jenny's attacker with a cane topped with a silver wolf's head, but Larry was bitten, and his nightmare had just begun. Bela the gypsy was played by the great Bela Lugosi. His mother, Maleva, was played by Maria Ouspenskayna. Larry Talbot was played by Lon Chaney, Jr. Claude Rains played Larry's father, Lord John Talbot. Gwen was played by Evenlyn Ankers, and Fay Helms was Jenny.
