Big Brother Instinct: Difference between revisions

* In [[Belisarius Series]] it is exhibited by several characters. One Persian princess (who later marries the Roman Emperor), is vainly protected by his brother from Hun mercenaries under Roman pay after the Persian army is defeated (though she is rescued when the Roman general's bodyguard arrives). The best example of big brother instinct though is Rajiv Sanga. He is a [[Beware the Nice Ones|nice polite]] teenage killing machine and is very protective of his siblings and to a lesser degree family servants and allies (though he will make concessions to [[Combat Pragmatism]] if he can't protect someone he wants to protect). Interestingly he extends that even to nominal enemies when he realizes that they were untrained sheep for the slaughter unless he intervenes to get them a chance to surrender.
