And that's what you call an antagonist.

A villain, by virtue, is someone who does evil and does harm for the sake of being evil. An antagonist is just a character that opposes the protagonist. The former is a character type and tells you the personality of what said character might have, while the latter is merely a plot role, it tells nothing of the character outside of telling the audience that he/she has opposing actions/ideals as the protagonist.
