James Vane. James blames Dorian for his sister Sibyl's death, and years ago he swore he'd kill Dorian if he ever got the chance. However, he didn't know Dorian's name and had no way of finding him until he heard the woman in the opium den call him "Prince Charming."
CHAPTER 18
"Don't shoot it, Geoffrey. Let it live."
CHAPTER 19
"There is no use your telling me that you are going to be good"
"A thrill of terror ran through him when he remembered that, pressed against the window of the conservatory, like a white handkerchief, he had seen the face of James Vane watching him." (p.151)
CHAPTER 20
Dorian and Geoffrey hear the sound of a wounded hare and the screams of a wounded man. A few minutes later, Henry tells Dorian that the shooting was called off for the day and that the man who was shot is dead. Later the gamekeeper goes to see Dorian about the dead man, he offers money so that the family does not suffer and when he goes to see the body he realizes that it is James Vane.
Henry and Dorian were talking and Dorian tells Harry that he wants to change his life and is going to start being good, he answers him and tells him that everyone can be good in the county and asks him not to change. Dorian complains that Harry makes fun of everything he says so he asks him to change the subject. They talk about what could have happened to Basil. Dorian then asks what he would do if he admitted that he killed Basil. Henry dismisses this idea as well because it is vulgar and Dorian is hesitant to commit violent crimes.
Dorian thinks of all the people whose lives he has ruined or damaged. He decides to leave the past behind and change. The portrait is the last piece of evidence, so he must destroy it. He satabs the painting and a loud scream is heard so his servants decided to enter the room. Entering the room, they find the beautiful portrait of Dorian when he was young hanging on the wall. Beneath the painting lies an ugly, withered old man, with a knife stuck in his heart.
