Forte

Forte is the main antagonist of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. When the Enchantress put the spell on the Beast, Forte was turned into a pipe organ. In this form, he found himself more useful to his master as a composer, and was willing to do everything in his power to stay in that form. In french, Forte means 'loud' while it is also the Portugese word for strong or muscular, and also a term used in musical scales.

Role in the Movie
In order to mantain his organ form, Forte needed to prevent the Beast from loving Belle, convincing him not to celebrate Christmas and that she would take away everything he had. To help him, he convinced Fife, his old apprentice to lure both into ruining the date, under the promise of a solo of his own. However, the Beast still wouldn't hear him, so Forte decided to ruin their Christmas enough to get Belle trapped in the dungeon. But he failed again when Beast remembered Belle's gift (a storybook) and felt remorse. In a last attempt to prevent them from breaking the spell, Forte decided to destroy the whole castle using his strongest musical scales, as "they can't fall in love if they're dead!" Fife tries to stop him, as the plan's too extreme, and when he discovers the solo was a lie, Fife helps the Beast instead. Forte is finally defeated when the Beast destroys his keyboard, ceasing his contat with his pipes. Unable to keep his equilibrium, Forte crashes to the ground, completely destroyed.
