Line 73:
* In ''[[The Wire]]'', it becomes apparent that [[The Dragon|Stringer Bell]] has very different goals from [[Big Bad|Avon]], wanting to use the money from their drug operation to escape the ghetto and become a legitimate businessman. Avon meanwhile wants to protect his reputation and power as a gangster, and will even sacrifice smart business decisions to make war on the streets. {{spoiler|This causes tremendous strain between them that builds until they both betray each other- Avon betraying Stinger to [[Career Killers|Brother Mouzone]], and Stringer informing on Avon to the police. This leads to the downfall of the Barksdale organization}}.
* Alex becomes this for Oversight during season 2 of ''[[Nikita (TV series)|Nikita]]''
* Broodwing in ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'' was [[The Dragon]] to Emperor Gruum, [[The Starscream|but not the most loyal type]]. Unlike most villains in the franchise, he was an [[Arms Dealer]] who was [[Only in It For the Money]], and was ''very'' upset when Gruum kept demanding free jobs to "compensate" for failed ones. In fact, [[Fridge Brilliance| that is likely ''why'' Gruum kept failing]], Broodwing [[You Get What You Pay For| didn't seem like the type who would give his best merchandise to deadbeats.]]

Line 112 ⟶ 113:
* {{spoiler|Konishi}} from ''[[The World Ends With You]]''. It's hinted at but eventually {{spoiler|she outright betrays the Conductor by making a deal with Minamimoto, wanting to be the new Conductor when he becomes Composer.}}
* Play a Horde character in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' and go through the ''Mists of Pandaria'' scenario, and you quickly become this to Garrosh, eventually becoming [[The Starscream]] during the Seige of Orgrimmar.
* The Black Baron's [[Lovely Assistant]] Mathilda might be this, if she can be called [[The Dragon]]; she is no threat to Jack, but her actions suggest she does not like her boss much. ([[Cute Mute|She doesn't speak]], so it's hard to tell.) A Running Gag on the game involves the Baron appearing to explain how each Bloodbath Challenge works, and then Mathilda appears to provide a visual demonstration, using ''him'' as the victim. Somehow he always survives and appears for the next demonstration, so this may be staged using special effects, but in the [[Final Battle]] where the Baron seems to be [[Killed Off For Real]], Mathilda decides to help Jack and gives him the weapon he uses to do it.
