Alan Van Sprang has been casted as the villain we all love to hate from Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series, Valentine Morgenstern. 

Valentine is described as a highly intellectual, charming but devious Shadowhunter. He has an immense amount of power and will kill anyone who gets in his way. 

Check out the tweet Van Sprang posted, once word got out: 

When a door closes a window opens! So thrilled to be cast as Valentine in #Shadowhunters @ShadowhuntersTV Can't wait @ABCNetwork @ABCFamily

Other cast members include Dominic Sherwood (as Jace Wayland), Katherine McNamara (as Clarissa Fray), Alberto Rosende (as Simon Lewis), Emeraude Toubia (as Isabelle Lightwood), Matthew Daddario (as Alec Lightwood), and Isaiah Mustafa (as Luke Garroway).

Congrats Mr. Van Sprang! You are PERFECT for the role!
