Creon

It has often been observed that Creon imputes corrupt motives (here and to Teiresias), because this was a level of motivation within his comprehension.

Above all -- and this is of central importance in connection with the legal implications -- it is essential to understand that Creon must emerge as an appropriate counterweight to the obsessive energy of Antigone: that "Antigone's fate provides the foil for Creon and, in turn, Creon's fate becomes evident only against the background of Antigone's desitiny.

Perhaps more than any other figure in the Oedipus Trilogy, Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law, seems to be a very different character in each of the plays.
