Fan Casting Token Evil Teammate

Role added by jeremyelcuervo on February 6, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Token Evil Teammate:

Just because the main characters are fighting to oust the Big Bad doesn't mean they're heroes... at least, not all of them. In a team composed of good members, there will often be one Token Evil Teammate. Narratively, this character can serve as a distinct and amoral foil to his more strait-laced colleagues. If the Heroes start putting Honor Before Reason, the Token Evil will often remind them that sometimes unpleasant methods are needed to save the world. They also provide Your Approval Fills Me with Shame for when the heroes are getting too pragmatic and forget their morals.
