Rebel Leader: Difference between revisions

Never fear, the '''Rebel Leader''' is here! Swinging into action (sometimes literally) with their [[La Résistance|band of loyal followers]], they lead the charge against evil and fight to free the people!

Usually the '''Rebel Leader''' becomes an ally to the main cast, using their expertise and resources to [[We Need a Distraction|distract the enemy]], [[Gondor Calls for Aid|promise to help out at the final battle]] or [[The Alliance|band together]] against a common goal. There's also a chance of a [[Love Triangle]] with the hero's [[Love Interest]] as she swoons over the '''Rebel Leader''''s good looks. If the '''Rebel Leader''' is female, on the other hand, there's a high probability of her becoming the hero's [[Love Interest]] herself.

However, in other series [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|things may not be as they seem]]. Sometimes the rebel leader may make [[Good Is Not Nice|questionable choices]] in the fight against the empire, perhaps they're just using the rebel cause to [[Magnificent Bastard|further their own agenda]], abuse the [[Human Shield|very people they're trying to help]], or are willing to take down the enemy [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|no matter what the cost]]. Sometimes the '''Rebel Leader''' will be [[Not So Different|just as bad]] as the [[Evil Overlord]] he's trying to take down, often leading to [[Meet the New Boss]] once they've taken over.
