Line 6:
An example of [[Happiness in Slavery]]; [[The Igor]] is a variation of this. If the [[Big Bad]] ''is'' a vampire and he's "[[Blessed with Suck|promised]]" the same fate to his loyal servant, may overlap with [[Vampire Vannabe]]. More generally, liable to [[Wannabe Diss]] both from those they (hope to) serve and their enemies. See also [[Dirty Coward]] (for reasons why someone would become this trope)
Contrast with the [[Battle Butler]] and [[Yes-Man]]. Sometimes overlaps with [[Lickspittle]], [[Crusty Caretaker]] and [[Professional Butt-Kisser]]. If the character endures endless abuse at the hands of their master, then they're a [[Bumbling Sidekick]]. Just about the polar opposite of [[The Starscream]]. See also [[Transhuman Treachery]].
