Othello's treacherous "friend" (4)

I believe the answer is:

iago

(Other definitions for iago that I've seen before include "Othello's evil counsellor" , "Evil character in Othello" , "The villain who tricked Othello" , "villainous ensign" , "Advisor to soldier" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
