Treacherous Advisor	comment	So the heroes consult a mentor when they're battling The Empire, digging up an Ancient Conspiracy, slaying demons, or something of the sort, and have hit a dead end. Surely theyâ€™re in a position to be helpful? After all, theyâ€™re the scholar/politician/military person/whatever, and just likely to have the information they need. Not to mention they can keep a secret. Unfortunately, this trusted expert is secretly one of the bad guys. Sometimes they may even be the Big Bad! What makes them different from your average Mole is the degree to which the heroes require their assistance — theyâ€™re not a regular part of The Team, but theyâ€™re the only person who can give exactly the help needed. The dead giveaway for this character type is accepting the heroes' theories with a complete lack of skepticism. If it were anyone else, the first thing out of their mouth would be, "Why should I believe you?" If the character says "Have You Told Anyone Else?" or "It's a good thing you came to me", be warned: they're either about to give The Reveal or planning on making some calls and starting a massive cover-up as soon as the hero leaves the room. Another common trait of Treacherous Advisors is storing the Plot Coupons the heroes are fetching, revealing themselves once they have the last one. In these cases, a common giveaway is their seeming a little too interested in the Plot Coupons, more specifically in the act of taking them. A dead giveaway is if he doesn't let the hero look at the ones he's already collected. The hero will sometimes catch on as he's returning the last one, but never before then. In a Tournament Arc, the Treacherous Advisor may be the one who helps the hero reach the finals because they (or their Big Bad boss) have a trap waiting in the final round. They appear to be benevolent Mentors or Reasonable Authority Figure, until their The Reveal shows their true nature. If the hero(es) came to respect and admire the advisor before they turned out to be up to no good, expect a case of Broken Pedestal. On rare occasions, such as in a Conspiracy Thriller, everyone of importance whose help the hero seeks is a mole; the hero's only real allies are the ones with no power or influence. Not to be confused with the Evil Chancellor, although overlap is not uncommon. Contrast Sarcastic Devotee and Deceptive Disciple. Compare the Big Bad Friend, the Regent for Life, and the Treacherous Quest Giver. Despite its name, the Evil Mentor and this trope rarely overlap as the Evil Mentor will not try to hide their true nature. As this is a Betrayal Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Treacherous Advisor / int_10175749	comment	Aquaman (2018): Vulko is a heroic version. He stands beside Orm and offers just enough genuine assistance to not be dismissed from his service, but he approached and trained Arthur how to use his powers and Atlantean weapons, specifically because he knew Orm would be a problematic king and would need another to take the throne eventually. Orm reveals later on he knew of it, and had Vulko imprisoned for the climax of the film.

However, St. John was heavily biased against the Freedom Fighters and Sonic in particular and had the team disbanded in favor of St. John's Secret Service and Sonic stripped of his knighthood. After a series of humiliations, St. John stepped aside, especially when Elias disappeared in shame.

On the one hand, Ginjou ordered Tsukishima to alter his and all of XCution's memories, so that they forget about their Evil Plan of stealing Ichigo's powers and think of him as a real ally. On the other hand, it's always the plan to train Ichigo, so while Ginjou (and the others) are believing themselves to be good mentors for Ichigo while their memories are still altered, the original intention behind it is still evil, which goes full circle once they all gain their original memories back and successfully steal Ichigo's power (or at least the surface level of it).

In truth, the Owl is using Birb to claim mastery over the power of music and rule the forest, even if he has to wipe out the Lyrebirds to accomplish this goal. While the player has elements to understand who the Big Bad is, Birb is only a child, and he doesn't see anything coming until the Owl devolves into Evil Gloating about his plans.

Treacherous Advisor / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, the high-ranked Paladin Orson leads Prince Ephraim and his group into a direct trap, having betrayed his country since the enemy promised to revive his deceased wife. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Izuka combines this with Evil Chancellor and tricks naive Prince Pelleas into selling out his country to the greedy Begnion senators. Those same Senators, in turn, betray and attempt to murder their own Empress for passing policy they don't approve of. Except for Sephiran, her closest and most trusted advisor and guardian... who betrays her for a different reason. Exaggerated in Fire Emblem: Awakening. In chapter 7, Chrom randomly introduces a never mentioned character with a re-colored Mook design, the Hierarch. Chrom states the Hierarch was his elder sister Emmeryn's advisor and caretaker when she was young. Less than a minute after this, the Hierarch walks over unseen to the enemy commander, tells him he led Emmeryn and her friends into an ambush, and the enemy commander then rewards him with death. This event and the Hierarch are both never mentioned again, which becomes odd as the characters never learn he betrayed them in the first place, but just forget about him.

Treacherous Advisor / int_26b80743	comment	In the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series, Mentor Mascot Kyubey is revealed in the original anime and manga as the true Big Bad and a Hive Mind species who set up the Puella Magi system so contracted magical girls will inevitably become witches, and are fully willing to accept the destruction of humanity to use their energy to power the universe. In almost all installments, they deceive the girls into contracting and get them to make a wish that will almost inevitably backfire (though it should be pointed out they always follow through to the letter, it's the girls who tend to cause their own backfires due to not fully thinking through the consequences of their own wishes), leaving out critical information about being a magical girl and justifying it by saying You Didn't Ask, to intentionally drive the girls to despair, which will turn them into witches. The only exception is Puella Magi Tart Magica, where Cube, the Incubator unit, is completely honest to Jeanne and actually grows to care about her to some extent.

The crews are drawn in by their dissatisfaction with Palpatine's rule, and would find Tarkin a far more palatable alternative to lead the Empire, should Tarkin ever try to usurp the throne. In reality, Tarkin has no immediate intentions of launching a coup, and draws the fleets of Tarkin's Fist together as a ruse on the orders of Emperor Palpatine to ferret out and expunge millions of potential traitors in one fell swoop. The fleet's accidental voyage to the Milky Way is the only thing that spares them from destruction upon their intended arrival in the Maw Cluster.

Under his guidance players confronted the weakened soul of Hakkar and sealed it in an ancient vessel, supposedly to bind him. In fact, Yeh'kinya knew that sealing Hakkar into the vessel was a necessary step to allow his rebirth, leading to Hakkar's rise in Zul'gurub. Drakuru in Grizzly Hills seems like a reasonable troll compared to his bloodthirsty kin so helping him in fighting them off seems like the smart move. In fact, his directions resulted in the trolls losing control of their main defense against the Scourge, hastening their empire's fall and gaining Drakuru praise from the Lich King. Wrathion became this for Horde players in Mists of Pandaria. He sent them to defeat Garrosh to "save the Horde" while fully believing the Alliance would subsequently subjugate it. He's rather dismissive of whatever complaints the player might have had about being used. On the Timeless Isle Kairoz had players empower his Vision of Time to see visions of the future if either the Horde or Alliance proved victorious. In a subsequent novel, Kairoz used the Visions to allow Garrosh's escape to Draenor, intent on using the Vision to build an army across multiple timelines.

Not a big secret to those who know his history from the comics, but in the film, he founded Stark Industries with Tony's dad and pretends to be Stark's friend and mentor, but when the film begins, he pays to have Tony killed while on a trip showing off some of his new weapons (they don't, because they weren't told who he was). Later, he ends up building his own armor suit. Which he powers with the power source he pulls out of Tony's chest. Which was all that was keeping him alive.

Treacherous Advisor / int_9a2a0105	comment	Tealove's Steamy Adventure. The story starts when a conversation with Pinkie Pie convinces Tealove to go on a quest to obtain some magic tea leaves. Pinkie even offers some advice for the trip. By the end of the story, Tealove has the magic tea leaves, and she has to keep them out of the hooves of an evil cultist. The cultist is very, very strongly implied to be Pinkie Pie in a disguise. Amusingly, this twist came about completely by accident. The story was a Round Robin with no communication between the different authors—so the guy who wrote Pinkie as the cultist had no idea that she'd appeared earlier as the quest-giver.

What sets Full Throttle apart from most examples of the trope is that Full Throttle actually spells out the reason Corley keeps Ripburger around. Corley is primarily a visionary and idealist, but a self-aware one, who realizes he needs someone with business savvy and killer instinct (like Ripburger) to keep him from chasing too many wild dreams and running his company into the ground. Corley also makes no attempt to hide his personal loathing for Ripburger, though he claims to respect him on a professional level.

Subverted in "The O.G.". The guns used to orchestrate several shooting chains between gangs turned out to have all come back from a gun buy-back program and all signed off by Lieutenant Gary Walker, who was advising the team up to this point, however as Walker points out, his signature only means they were turned in at his drop-off location, and there were other people involved with the program who would also have had access to the guns. Played with in "Scratch" via a Bait-and-Switch; its initially thought that the lottery expert working with the team is the inside man, but later it turns out that it's the expert's boss that's the inside man.

They burn Winterfell in order to cover Roose's bases. Grand Maester Pycelle will work for the strongest side, who are House Lannister. Jaime, who used to be a bodyguard of the previous regime, recalls that prior to the Sack of Kings Landing by the Lannister armies, Pycelle advised King Aerys to open the gates to ensure them a victory, whereas Varys advised against it. He tries to do the same sort of scheming when Tyrion is acting as Hand of the King by going to Cersei behind his back. Since Tyrion is much smarter, he devises his own plot to uncover any disloyal advisors in the Small Council and subsequently strips Pycelle of all power and has him thrown in a cell.

He turns out to be deeper in it than Vin, and quite prepared to pin the whole thing on Vin and Carlie. Ultimate Spider-Man had Jean De Wolffe. Her regular 616 Marvel universe counterpart was a by the book cop who had a soft spot for Spider-Man, and whose death was a tragedy. Her Ultimate Universe counterpart seemed to be shaping up to be similar, sending Spider-Man to potential bad guys' hideouts but in the end turned out to be working for the Kingpin and unceremoniously shot by The Punisher because he knew she was a bent cop. Then there was Ezekiel. This mysterious man whose powers seemed to be the same as Spidey's (except mystical in nature, not scientific) helped him against Morlun and Shathra, predators of supernatural origin bent on preying on the hero. Ezekiel told Spidey that the spider that had bitten him was not mutated by the radiation, but actually trying to give him its powers before the radiation killed it. This meant that Spider-Man was now part of the supernatural food chain, and had become a target for other totems and beings who feed on totems (Hence why so many of Spider-Man's foes were based on animals; on some level, they 'sensed' that Peter was a true totem while they were merely impostors and were thus driven to destroy him. But it was all lies. It was later revealed that Morlun and Shathra were really after Ezekiel, and Ezekiel attempted to direct the consequences of gaining his powers onto Spider-Man himself, taking Spider-Man to the temple where he had been given his own powers and drawing blood to attract a massive spider that would take the 'false' totem warrior as a sacrifice. At the last moment, however, he realized that he had done nothing but selfish things with his powers, while Peter had selflessly risked his life to save others again and again. With that in mind, he attacked the spider, sacrificing himself to save Peter.

Near the end, it is revealed that he is just using them to test out his Flexarium monster army, most of the other villains are also unwitting test subjects of his various technologies and advancements, and he tries to kill them once they are of no use to him and have foiled his plans. On top of that, he is also secretly Stretch Monster, the Flex Fighters' biggest enemy. For most of Season 1, Malcolm Kane is Rook's grouchy head of security, who also mentors the Flex Fighters in teamwork and combat, despite his distrust of them. He seemingly bonds with them, and when he pursues them in Season 2, it's because he believes they're criminals and is unaware of Rook's true nature. Late in Season 2, Kane is revealed to be the leader of the Tech Men, a villainous organization, who played the long game as Rook's right-hand man to take his company and resources under him. He was also aware of Rook being Stretch Monster. Kane betrays the heroes and Rook, and becomes a large enough threat that forces them all to team up to stop his plans.

Treacherous Advisor / int_df64a221	comment	The original Mercenaries has Josef oust Sergei as leader of the Mafia near the end of the game; probably not all that surprising, since 1) this is The Mafiya we're talking about, 2) Sergei is an airheaded Small Name, Big Ego, 3) Josef is ex-KGB, and 4) Sergei tried to have the player character and Josef taken out by the North Koreans first, which obviously failed 5) they foreshadow the hell out it by showing Josef having practically undisguised contempt for Sergei's bumbling and snotty attitude.

Treacherous Advisor / int_e0213763	comment	Ultima VII plays with this a bit by linking it to a Chain of Deals. In order to contact the Time Lord, whose help is necessary to stop the Guardian from dominating Britannia, you need to get help from the Wisps — interdimensional information-brokers who, in exchange for the help, want you to acquire information for another client of theirs. The information in question is a notebook on the Guardian and his puppet church, the Fellowship, composed by one of the few Britannian scholars aware of the Guardian's existence. Turns out, their client is the Guardian, who, having found out what his opposition knows about him, then has him murdered.

Treacherous Advisor / int_e9e265b6	comment	Exaggerated in Fire Emblem: Awakening. In chapter 7, Chrom randomly introduces a never mentioned character with a re-colored Mook design, the Hierarch. Chrom states the Hierarch was his elder sister Emmeryn's advisor and caretaker when she was young. Less than a minute after this, the Hierarch walks over unseen to the enemy commander, tells him he led Emmeryn and her friends into an ambush, and the enemy commander then rewards him with death. This event and the Hierarch are both never mentioned again, which becomes odd as the characters never learn he betrayed them in the first place, but just forget about him.

At first, he is seen giving Hector helpful hints and advice in his quest to get revenge on Isaac for killing his wife. Naturally, St. Germain knows what Zead's true purpose is, thus why the two are enemies with one another as Germain himself tries to stop Hector from going after Isaac and therefore playing any more of his role in Zead's plans. Eventually, it is revealed that Zead was using Hector to find a perfect host for the resurrection of Dracula, and that, indeed, Zead was Death, The Dragon to Dracula himself, in disguise.

He then not only betrays the party and leaves them to die, but also turns out to be the real Big Bad manipulating Grand Maestro Mohs. He manages to rub even more salt in the wound by casually telling the main character that, in fact, Van created him to be nothing more than an inferior duplicate of one his minions, to be sacrificed as a pawn in his plot to destroy the world. Ouch. The fact that Van turns out to be more of a Necessarily Evil villain never alleviates the bitter sting of this personal betrayal.

His mentor then shows up and tries to convince Rip to go back, so the Time Masters can start repairing the damage to the timeline done by Rip and his team. Mick Rory, who has been listening in on the conversation, immediately tells him that the Time Master plans to betray and kill him, along with the rest of the team. Rip is reluctant to believe him, but he does bring backup during their next meeting. It turns out Mick was right. The Time Master shows up with the Bounty Hunter Chronos, who was paid to kill Rip and the others. Mick and Jax/Stein save him.
