Fan Casting Evil Mentor

Role added by connieblackwood on January 13, 2023

Description of Evil Mentor:

The Hero, or a member of the heroic band, finds a Mentor with new secret techniques to teach. The student eagerly signs on, only to learn later that there's a catch — the mentor is evil, has a hidden agenda of their own, and those new abilities are seriously nasty (though certainly not useless). The student may feel "soiled" by having learned these techniques and might swear off ever using them again, or they might have to wrestle with temptation against using them regularly. Of course, it's only a matter of time until there's a great need, and out will come the evil technique because It's the Only Way. Cue the evil mentor's So Proud of You and the hero's Your Approval Fills Me with Shame.
