Billie Pearce is the main antagonist of the Disney+ series, National Treasure: Edge of History. She is a ruthless black-market antiquities dealer and treasure hunter who lives by her own code. Once she was a penniless orphan until she became a shrewd, stylish businesswoman. Billie is used to getting what she wants, and finds herself in a race against Jess Valenzuela in finding the Treasure of Montezuma.
Trivia[]
Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Billie, is a fan of the National Treasure films.[citation needed]
Billie can be considered the most ruthless villain in the National Treasure franchise, even more ruthless than Ian Howe in the first film and Mitch Wilkinson in Book of Secrets. While all three have used hostages to achieve their goals and are willing to kill anyone in their way, Billie is the first villain to actually murder someone.
Also unlike Howe and Wilkinson who wanted to search for the treasure they were seeking, Billie is the only villain who wants to destroy the treasure she wanted to seek.
