Pitch Black

Pitch Black is the main antagonist of Rise of the Guardians. He is the Nightmare King, better known as the Boogeyman. He is voiced by Jude Law.

Background
During the infamous Dark Ages, Pitch was the master of terror, causing fear amongst the humans, who were terrified of him. However, his great power was vanquished when the Man in the Moon chose the Guardians to give hope to the humans, which resulted in Pitch's powers weakening until he could no longer be seen or heard. This isolation caused Pitch to become incredibly bitter and hateful against the Guardians, and spent centuries plotting his vengeance.
