Fan Casting Bodyguard Betrayal

Role added by connieblackwood on November 3, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Bodyguard Betrayal:

A character is betrayed by the very ones who are supposed to be protecting them. In both Real Life and fiction, pretty much the most effective method for killing a head of state or other highly protected target, since they're the only ones allowed in their presence with weapons. Hence, this usually ends up with the victim dead, but in rare cases (especially if the attempt is on The Hero) they survive to seek their revenge on the guards, or whoever was manipulating them. Many cases of The Dog Bites Back will involve this, particularly in the case of Dragons who betray their Big Bad masters. Often done via Betrayal by Inaction or Unfriendly Fire.
