Funnily, I don't see that trope much anymore

It’s Eric the noble, 100%.

Either the Noble or the Pure. The Cannibal backstabber is a secret hero.

If that is the premise we can definitely exclude Xavier.

He may be chaotic and freaky and loooove stabbing people in the back and eating them. But i bet hes also earnest, loyal to his friends and dedicated to their cause.

My bets are on the noble cause i don’t like the rich.

The only reason a noble would leave the safety of their royal home and go on a super dangerous quests would be for clout and prestige. Hiding behind your teammates isn’t brave though… being the only survivor though..

That concludes my in depth psychoanalysis of these single use meme characters.

Ever thought about the fact that he does not love eating people but love to stab cannibals in the back?

Wow i feel so ashamed now.

I had a talk with her and she is such a nice person. I didn’t know that goblins from the -zak mountains just have a natural facial expression like that.

Turns out the jitter is a symptom from an illness she had since birth.

We have all been so judgemental.

Shame on everyone here, and especially shame on me. I thought i had better standards!

Great now I feel ashamed for making you feel ashamed.

It’s Mary. 100%. Everyone’s looking at Xavier should be ashamed of themselves for their physical, racial, and cultural insensitivity.

Xavier is famous for infiltrating cannibal units, and backstab each of them individually. Kind of a heroic sociopath done extremely right.

Came here to say the same... Fuck your "purity" mary, nobody gonna believe that shit!

The only point where could be Xavier is when somebody in the team is suddenly a cannibal... I mean.. He is a cannibal backstabber after all!

  • Eric is found dead leading everyone to believe Xavier killed him.
  • So they tie up Xavier until they can figure out what to do with him.
  • The next morning Xavier is found with head smashed in.
  • Audience is led to believe only Brock has the strength to smash his head in.
  • Brock jumps off a cliff. Turns out he was being manipulated by Mary the Betrayer the whole time.

100% its Eric. He is noble so he will see everyone else as beneath him by default.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

obviously not smh, Eric will be constantly hinted to be hiding something but in the end it'll turn out that he's actually one of the less miserable nobles and that Brock is the villain which no one suspects because no one remembers he exists.

Mary is just happy to be there.

It's not Xavier! Instead it's his evel twin!

[–] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Reivax the noncannibal Backstabber?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 days ago

*frontstabber!
