Karl "The Great" Torini is a character featured in Season 7. He is a magician and drug smuggler who murdered Kevin Dorfman. He learned that Kevin was going over the books on his past airline trips, and realizing that Kevin could potentially expose his operations, he strangled him with his black paint wire. Adrian Monk was soon onto Torini and realized he not only staged the show for Kevin to appear on stage, he was using his equipment to smuggle heroin into the United States. Torini realized Monk had him and made him "disappear" into the boiler room all tied up. His assistant and fiancée, Tanya Adams, grew a conscience and attempted to slip him the key to the cuffs. Betrayed, Torini attempted to throw her into the furnace but Stottlemeyer and Disher immediately arrested both him and Tanya.
