Fan Casting Bad Samaritan

Role added by connieblackwood on November 3, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Bad Samaritan:

Beware of the kindness of strangers. The Bad Samaritan is someone who takes in the hero and seems (at first) to be helping, only to do the hero harm in the end.. He doesn't act out of the kindness of his own heart, but by some villainous motivation. He will keep his intention hidden from his victim, gaining their trust, until he has the hero helpless. This is the inverse of the Biblical parable about the Good Samaritan, teaching the audience that relying on the kindness of strangers is not always a good thing.
