Treacherous Quest Giver	comment	A common Plot Twist found in Role-Playing Games and Video Games, but also found in Adventure, Action, or anything that loosely resembles The Hero's Journey. Happens when the Quest Giver directly tries to deceive the PC/hero for their own hidden purposes. They have managed to disguise their Evil Plan as the Call to Adventure; they've been Using You All Along. Upon finding out, The Hero must either change their goals, or simply go though with the evil-killing procedure that was so generously mapped out for them in the first place. These Blatant Lies are usually quite obvious to most players, but playing the Unwitting Pawn is usually necessary to keep the plot moving. Demands for Darker and Edgier and Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids! over the past few decades have also made this rather routine. Nearly an Omnipresent Trope in RPGs with multiple quest lines, if only because out of so many people bossing the player around, one of them ought to be lying. It is often a handy recipe for spicing up a boring Fetch Quest. A Treacherous Quest Giver may be: The Mole, The Big Bad in disguise, An Evil Chancellor, The Starscream using the heroes to stage a coup, A Knight Templar who wants to use the Artifact of Doom or the Unholy Holy Sword to usher in a new age of Light Is Not Good, A True Neutral character who believes The Hero must be screwed over for the greater harmony, Someone who is being coerced, as even someone slick enough to fool the hero isn't above being persuaded by brute force. The Quisling A Mysterious Backer Mission Control (if it's off its meds or secretly not so benevolent), One of your own allies (even a playable one) who's a Big Bad Friend or has their own agenda the hero might not be on board with, if the devs are especially sadistic, Most can overlap with Treacherous Advisor. NPCs qualifying for this trope MUST have a vital part in both sending the heroes on their quest and, intentionally, instigating the final conflict of the plot / quest line, even if they have outlived their usefulness and die long before said conflict takes place. This also has to do with disguising one's own identity or intentions from the beginning, from the hero if not also the audience. Having some Obviously Evil huckster pop up in the third dungeon and telling a Red Shirt to open the Sealed Evil in a Can because there's yummy cheesecake inside most likely does not count. This is generally considered a plot twist and often a Twist Ending, therefore spoilers may be unmarked. Often overlaps with multiple kinds of plans: Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, False Innocence Trick, The Cake Is a Lie, MacGuffin Delivery Service, Uriah Gambit, and, clearly, requires an Unwitting Pawn, or someone who acts like one to further their own plan. If the Quest Giver is someone who Cannot Tell a Lie, expect the truth to be bent unrecognizably. Contrast Enemy Mine, But Thou Must!, or, An Offer You Can't Refuse, where the quest giver has openly disclosed their evil intentions and forces the hero to go through with it anyway. If this was all a ploy by the Trickster Mentor to help, improve, or evaluate the hero, then it's a Secret Test.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_1a5358c8	comment	One of the quests of the Sharn Syndicate chain from Dungeons & Dragons Online has you working with Burgundy Tir, who has recently contacted an underlord of the Sharn Syndicate. He sends you on a run with his agent Zircon, a Warforged who has VIP access to the Lordsmarch Bank, in order to steal the Stormreaver Fresco, a piece of art from ancient times. Zircon, who it turns out is the underlord, betrays you during the mission, running off after getting his hands on the Fresco in hopes of framing you for the theft, leaving you to escape the vault and deal with Iron Sentinels and the city guard. Later, during a mission to kill Zircon and retrieve the Fresco for its real owner, a dragon by the name of Kear, you learn that Burgundy Tir was behind the whole thing. Since you can't kill Burgundy without bringing down the wrath of the Coin Lords on your head, you instead blackmail him into giving you an item of his in return for your silence after the mission. Another quest sees a Silver Flame inquisitor, Gnomon, send you into a chapel to destroy an evil religious cult. The cult is harmless, and "Inquisitor Gnomon" doesn't exist - the NPC you spoke with is a monster called a Rakshasa in disguise, as you discover some quests later, and your quest was part of a plan to create unrest within the Silver Flame.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Dragon Age II: An Antivan noble asks your help in arresting an elven assassin. This assassin turns out to be Zevran, a party member from the previous game, who warns you that even if you do arrest him, the noble will try to kill you because you know too much. A much nastier one is when Anders, your own party member asks you to help him gather ingredients for a potion to separate him and Justice. They're actually ingredients for a bomb to blow up the Chantry. Dragon Age: Origins: There is one quest where the player is assigned by Prince Bhelen to deliver documents proving his rival, Lord Harrowmont, has been ripping off his political supporters. The documents are forged. You can confirm this by checking with the Shaperate, and if you confront Bhelen's lieutenant with the evidence he shrugs and tells you to just do it anyway. The Dalish send the Player Character to kill a wolf named Witherfang in order to stop a contagious werewolf curse from effecting their entire tribe. As it turns out Zathrian, the leader of the Dalish clan, is behind the curse and could have lifted it at any time. He's just under the impression that carving out Witherfang's heart will provide a remedy just for the Dalish, allowing the once-human werewolves to suffer. Queen Anora has no problem ratting out the party that rescues her, once she suspects Failure Is the Only Option. If you decide her father is too dangerous to live, she'll also turn on you at the Landsmeet. Flemeth is priming the warden to conceive a special child for unknown purposes.

In the first game, the only character who is actually honest about what will happen to you if you go through with the quest and offers you an alternative option is also a lying bastard. His alternative will arguably end worse for you and will almost certainly be worse for the rest of the world.

Once they do, Magolor snatches the Master Crown from atop Landia's head and proclaims his plans to conquer the universe. It's debatable how much agency Magolor has in this, however, as the Master Crown is actually an Artifact of Doom that promptly hijacks his soul and transforms him into a horrifying monster animated solely by The Power of Hate. Once the crown is removed, he becomes Kirby's good friend in all subsequent appearances.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_43f52aa9	comment	Oblivion: In Dark Brotherhood, your correspondence containing the names of people to kill is hijacked by a traitor, who uses you to murder the entire top rung of the Brotherhood before your mentor catches up with you to reveal the truth. During the Fighters Guild storyline, you infiltrate the Blackwood Company, which sends you to clean out goblins overruning the Water's Edge settlement. You've been drugged to see the legitimate residents as goblins and kill them, so that Blackwood can sell the now-empty grounds to their client. Downplayed in that you already knew they were up to no good, you were just acting as The Mole. In one of the Imperial City sidequests, there is a quest involving a group of vampire hunters called The Order of the Virtuous Blood. In a not-quite unseen twist, the leader of the aforementioned organization, the person who assigns you the task of killing an alleged vampire, was a vampire all along trying to get you to kill his only witness. The mage's guild quest to visit the count to get a book back. His retainer tells you to meet him at a certain time. The retainer reveals that he's with the necromancers and attacks. The count turns up to save you. It turns out you had been sent under false pretenses to making sure he hadn't fallen in with some dark wizards, the retainer was trying to kill you to make the mages guild distrust the count (and thus be forced to fall in with the necromancers) and the count was using you to root him out. Three false quests in one (although only one quest giver was evil). Where the spirits have lease; after digging around in a Haunted House, you find the body of an old wizard (killed for being evil). He says he's repented and asks you to replace his hand so he can make things right. This all ends happily. In one of the Mage's Guild initiation quests, you're tasked with retrieving a ring from the well, that had apparently been lost down there by Vidkun, another associate. You enter the well to find... Vidkun's corpse, weighed down by the Burden-enchanted ring. After you return, Deetsan reveals she confronted Falcar (the quest giver) about Vidkun, and he stormed out; you end the quest by finding evidence that he is actually a Necromancer.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: Drakuru's questline in Grizzly Hills has you helping him cripple the aggressive Drakkari Trolls, not knowing that he plans to cripple the Drakkari's defenses so the Scourge can turn their entire Empire. A troll sends players to summon Hakkar's spirit and trap it within a special vessel to prevent his rebirth, as laid out in a prophecy. In a follow-up chain a dwarf reveals there was more to the prophecy, namely that trapping Hakkar within the vessel was the first step in his rebirth. The troll mocks the player when his duplicity is revealed. An undead questgiver that gives a quest to collect materials for a "truth serum" to be used on a human prisoner held in the nearby Horde base. The serum is actually a poison that kills the prisoner, who was about to reveal to the orcs that the undead are not entirely loyal to the Horde. The PC gathers items and eventually frees The Death Knight Teron Gorefiend. Players eventually fight him in the Raid Black Temple.. Known to be one of the hardest bosses in there. Abercrombie's questline in Duskwood. Abercrombie is a creepy hermit who sends you on several quests to gather an odd assortment of items from all over Duskwood, supposedly for completely innocent purposes. Short of actually flashing up on screen the words "Stop now before it's too late, you idiot!" the game does everything possible to clue you in to the fact that doing Abercrombie's bidding is not the smart thing to do. But will you listen? Like hell you will. The crone in Storm Peaks who sends the player on a lengthy quest to meet and revitalize Thorim was Thorim's evil brother Loken. Loken humbles and enslaves the fully-powered Thorim and then dares you to do something about it. Wrathion spent most of Mists of Pandaria guiding players of both factions in order to strengthen the world. Only after his plans are ruined does he reveal to Horde players he'd been using them to undermine the Horde war effort so the Alliance could unite the entirety of the world.

The sequel has Kreia who acted as the player character's mentor for the majority of the game and provided them with the task of locating what remains of the Jedi Council. In the final act, it's revealed that she was using them the entire time to get revenge on both the Jedi and the Sith and to exploit their unique status as a Wound in the Force to destroy the Force itself.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_5755b96a	comment	The Order of the Stick: When the Order first meet the Linear Guild, Nale convinces them to help retirve the Talisman of Dorukan, claiming The Good King sent them to get it. When they do get it, it turns out it allows the holder to control a menagerie of obscure monsters — they needed the Order's help because only Good-aligned heroes could access the Plot Coupons, and the Guild plans to deliver the Talisman to the Big Bad. Later, Nale relies on Roy's willingness to accept a sidequest in order to send him on a useless quest for starmetal in order to slow him down. To his annoyance, the starmetal turned out to be real - he figured that the legend was such an obvious sidequest that someone would have already taken it if it even existed at all. Incidentally, the starmetal turns out to be a valuable weapon against the Big Bad.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_59da62aa	comment	Fallout: New Vegas: There's one that requires a ludicrous amount of work. In Searchlight, a completely irradiated town that everyone warns you to avoid, there's a storm cellar with three people in it. Talking with them reveals that they're planning on looting the town since it was a former New California Republic base, but they can't do it without radiation suits. One of them, Logan, offhandedly says to check the computer for their location. Doing so reveals that the shipment of radiation suits got waylaid in Nipton, so Logan tells you to go get them. In Nipton, its sole remaining resident tells you when directly asked that the cargo crate with the suits in them got moved north somewhere. Exploring the mountains north, there's a cave with an Average (50) lock that has the suits inside. Once you return with the suits, Logan's crew agrees to split the scavenged loot with you. You then go to the Police Station (that only Logan can unlock) and grab all the old NCR gear while Logan and his crew mill around. They won't let you leave until you pick up everything labeled NCR as well. Then you all travel to the Fire Station, and the process repeats. Finally, once you grab all the gear there, Logan says, "Alright, thanks for the help. Time to die, loser." and attacks you. Chances are, you'll be able to kill him and his cronies in about two seconds. There's also a man near Goodsprings that tells you that his girl is trapped on a mountain filled with large geckos, but after you kill them and find nobody, he tells you he just wanted clear access to the loot up there, and attacks you. This happens all over the place in the various Fallout games. A common setup is for one NPC to give you a quest to work against a personal enemy, the enemy to give you their side of the story if you stop to talk to them about it, and leaving it up to your conscience, playstyle, and desired position on the Karma Meter / Alliance Meters to decide which of them you believe. Taking any quest at face value is a mug's game, as it often depends entirely on which NPC you happened to bump into first.

After several hardships (including defeating a boss), Conker succeeds and retrieves the money... which consists of 10$, meaning that he'll only gain one dollar for having risked his life scaling a tower full of vengeful bats, dealing with a pervert cog who was sexually abusing other cogs, traversing a dangerous underwater maze, and fighting a living boiler piloted by fire imps who wanted to bully him. And then the bulldog fish breaks free and proceeds to eat the catfish ladies, aiming at Conker next. Only after barely escaping the hungry monster, does Conker receive a real reward (300$).

The Dalish send the Player Character to kill a wolf named Witherfang in order to stop a contagious werewolf curse from effecting their entire tribe. As it turns out Zathrian, the leader of the Dalish clan, is behind the curse and could have lifted it at any time. He's just under the impression that carving out Witherfang's heart will provide a remedy just for the Dalish, allowing the once-human werewolves to suffer.

Invariably, the shipment will take the contracted player through a dangerous part of the game if the client doesn't simply take the initiative to destroy his own cargo. The whole point is to collect the insurance fee.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_84986bf9	comment	Happens very frequently in RuneScape. Stupidity Is the Only Option most of the time. "Regicide" has King Lathas send you to assassinate his evil brother King Tyras. After completing the assassination, it turns out that King Lathas is the real villain and all the stuff you heard about King Tyras being evil was lies. Players should have already figured this out because you never actually see King Tyras, and in a previous quest you find out that the plague affecting half of the capital is a hoax and King Lathas's explanation for why he created the fake plague was very weak and didn't explain what really happened to the people who supposedly died of the plague. "Icthlarin's Little Helper" has the quest giver, who turns out to be the evil goddess Amascut, mind control the player character into robbing a tomb for her. "Smoking Kills" has a strange woman named Sumona sends you on a quest to rescue her sister, Jesmona, from a dangerous dungeon. It turns out the Sumona and Jesmona are both Amascut in disguise and trying to get you killed. She still rewards you for completing the quest though. "Temple of Ikov" has a strange man named Lucien send you on a quest to retrieve the staff of Armadyl. When you get to where the staff is kept and the guards explain that Lucien is a villain, you can choose to either turn on Lucien, or steal the staff for him anyway. Part of the way through "Legends' Quest" a ghost asks you to kill an undead wizard that he claims is holding him prisoner. The ghost is pretty obviously the demon you have been fighting in disguise. You can choose to follow his instructions, which makes the following boss battles with the demon more difficult, or you can go back through the dungeon to get help from another NPC to reveal the demon's true form, which takes longer and requires you to make the payment to get into the deeper level of the dungeon a second time. "Devious Minds" has a mysterious monk ask the player to make a special weapon for him and then smuggle a strange orb onto the holy island of Entrana, which he says is a surprise for the monks there. It turns out the guy is an assassin who uses the orb to teleport to Entrana, where he kills a bunch of the monks using the weapon you made and steals a relic from them. Although a later quest reveals he was actually working for an ally of the player. "What Lies Below" has the wizard Surok Magis ask you to create a special wand which he says he will use to make gold. It turns out he is planning to use it to control King Roald's mind. The player should have figured out something was suspicious because he also gives the players directions on how to find a secret tunnel controlled by a Zamorakian Cult which acts as a safer shortcut to the altar where the wand is made. "Rag and Bone Man" and "Fur 'n Seek" have an Odd Old Man carrying around a suspicious sack he sometimes talks to ask the player to collect bones and other items which he claims are for a museum. If you complete both quests and collect every bone and other item he requests, it turns out he is actually being mind controlled by an undead monster skull he's carrying in his sack which is using him to collect bones to assemble a new body for itself. "Kennith's Concerns" has a little boy named Kennith ask you to investigate what the slug-possessed villagers are up to but then strangely loses interest. It eventually turns out that Kennith has terrifying psychic powers and is using them to make the slug-possessed villagers do what he wants, all just so that he can get revenge on a girl for losing his favorite toy. "Kindred Spirits" starts with Linza asking you to investigate some disappearances and suggests you go to Relomia, the emissary of the Big Bad Sliske. Relomia leads you into a trap by claiming Sliske has been kidnapped too. Sliske then puts the player and his other prisoners through a series of sadistic games. In the end it turns out Linza was also working for Sliske in exchange for protection. "In Search of Myreque" has a mysterious man named Vanstrom Klause ask you to deliver weapons to a group of rebels fighting to free the nation of Morytania from its vampyre rulers. It turns out Vanstrom is a vampyre using you to find the rebels. Parodied in "The Lost Toys" miniquest, which has a strange boy ask you to find several vampyre plush toys scattered all over Morytania. After returning all of the toys, he reveals he is a vampyre lord and the player character sarcastically pretends to be surprised. It should have been obvious since you meet him in the same bar as Vanstrom. The vampyre lord claims the toys are for childen, though the player character doesn't believe him and calls him a weirdo. "The General's Shadow" miniquest has the villain General Khazard send the player character, who is in disguise and not recognized by Khazard, on a quest to collect reports from his scouts. After doing this he sends you into a cave to get your reward and you get attacked by the ghost of his pet hellhound that you previously killed. It turns out Khazard recognized who you were the whole time and was trying to get you killed. "Desperate Times" has the player helping the Kerapac take control of a time manipulating artifact as part of a plan to stop the rebirth of the elder gods. The player finds out too late that he intends to sacrifice the entire planet to kill the elder gods. The developers must really like this trope. "Azzanadra's Quest" has Azzanadra send you along with his agent Trindine to look for clues about the location of the elder gods' eggs. After finding the elder god eggs a strange voice in the player chatacter's head points out that Azzanadra found the location without the player's help and that it is suspicious that he sent you to a lot of dead ends with Trindine. Backtracking to the places you visited with Trindine reveals that she was actually secretly looking for information about Saradomin's crown while you were distracted, and had used you to summon Saradomin back to Gielinor to steal the crown from him. When the player confronts Azzanadra and Trindine about manipulating them they can even Lampshade this trope.

Losing her divine powers as a result of the Nerevarine's actions in the Morrowind main quest has driven her insane, and she's trying to get you killed. That, along with her killing the other two members of the Tribunal will leave her as the only person left for the Dunmer people to worship. (And according to Vivec's post-main quest dialogue, there is legitimate power in the worship of their people which allows them to retain a trace of their divinity, so Almalexia may be less crazy than she seems.) It is implied that King Helseth Hlaalu is this in the quest An Assassination Attempt, asking the player to help in protecting his mother from an assassination attempt when, as you find out when the assassins arrive, the real target is you and the assassins belong to a group you know Helseth has ties to. Amusingly it is only that specific quest — the Tribunal questline starts with him trying to have you assassinated, but that's before you start working for him, and waved away as a misunderstanding once you do. You get to do some of his dirty work, but not in a way that is negative for you, and once the second assassination attempt fails he easily slides back into the 'make use of you in a way that benefits both you and him' approach. Oblivion: In Dark Brotherhood, your correspondence containing the names of people to kill is hijacked by a traitor, who uses you to murder the entire top rung of the Brotherhood before your mentor catches up with you to reveal the truth. During the Fighters Guild storyline, you infiltrate the Blackwood Company, which sends you to clean out goblins overruning the Water's Edge settlement. You've been drugged to see the legitimate residents as goblins and kill them, so that Blackwood can sell the now-empty grounds to their client. Downplayed in that you already knew they were up to no good, you were just acting as The Mole. In one of the Imperial City sidequests, there is a quest involving a group of vampire hunters called The Order of the Virtuous Blood. In a not-quite unseen twist, the leader of the aforementioned organization, the person who assigns you the task of killing an alleged vampire, was a vampire all along trying to get you to kill his only witness. The mage's guild quest to visit the count to get a book back. His retainer tells you to meet him at a certain time. The retainer reveals that he's with the necromancers and attacks. The count turns up to save you. It turns out you had been sent under false pretenses to making sure he hadn't fallen in with some dark wizards, the retainer was trying to kill you to make the mages guild distrust the count (and thus be forced to fall in with the necromancers) and the count was using you to root him out. Three false quests in one (although only one quest giver was evil). Where the spirits have lease; after digging around in a Haunted House, you find the body of an old wizard (killed for being evil). He says he's repented and asks you to replace his hand so he can make things right. This all ends happily. In one of the Mage's Guild initiation quests, you're tasked with retrieving a ring from the well, that had apparently been lost down there by Vidkun, another associate. You enter the well to find... Vidkun's corpse, weighed down by the Burden-enchanted ring. After you return, Deetsan reveals she confronted Falcar (the quest giver) about Vidkun, and he stormed out; you end the quest by finding evidence that he is actually a Necromancer. Skyrim: Valmir, the army captain who sends you into Forelhost, turns out to be a Thalmor agent who tries to kill you once you emerge from the crypt. Ralis Sedarys in the Dragonborn DLC; though it's ambiguous if he was brainwashed by the Dragon Priest in Kolbjorn Barrow or not.

The tasks start innocently enough, including recovery of various magical artifacts throughout the land, but over time the tasks become more manipulative. For instance, one task requires killing a head rebal of unknown alignment, and the final one requires slaying a prisoner who is revealed to have a Good alignment. Killing the prisoner causes the TaskMaker to taunt the player for slavishly following him and instantly ends the game, while not killing the prisoner instead activates a final battle with the TaskMaker.

Some GM's have started throwing non-treacherous quest givers at their groups just to watch the expressions of total incomprehension on the faces of the players.

Eventually you find out he's one of said leadership, who's pulled a fast one, replaced the actual STG agent and left him on Elaaden to die. All the things he had you investigating was him covering his tracks. Whoops. Fortunately, Ryder finds the real STG agent and together they lure the imposter into a trap. A minor quest on Kadara has a saleswoman offer Ryder the location of a weapons cache, anything they can find free of charge. They get there and are attacked by several outlaws. Afterwards they can confront her, and she defends herself by saying she can't help if she told other people and they just happened to decide the best way to stake a claim was murder anyone else. We should point out, pretty much everyone on Kadara is a lying asshole.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_f19ddfd9	comment	Last Scenario goes above and beyond on this one: not only was the Mysterious Informant trying to manipulate the main character in the guise of guiding him, but the entire "You are the descendant of a great hero and only you can defeat the demons" spiel was lies. Hilbert believed it because he was gullible. The player probably believed it because that's how RPGs work.

Treacherous Quest Giver / int_f6c16bab	comment	In The Saga of Darren Shan, Mr. Des Tiny gave the two warring clans of vampires separate prophecies, ensuring that both sides believe that their survival depends on certain artifacts given to them by Tiny, and, in the case of the Vampaneze, that they absolutely follow the human that Tiny designates to become their Lord. In the end, it all comes down to single combat between Darren and Vancha, and the Lord and his protector the brothers, respectively, of the two Princes. The characters can see the prophecies falling apart when certain foretold events fail to come to pass, yet they continue to believe their lives, and the world, depend on adhering to Tiny's rules.

Then at the end, he betrays you and is revealed to be one of the main antagonists of the game, and it becomes clear that most of the missions toward the end of the game, if not all the missions, were attempts on his part to eliminate you while keeping his hands clean.
