Daibhid C: Pulled this:
- Star Wars also has the rare example of a loyal Bastard Understudy (more like the understudy of a bastard): Captain Pellaeon, Grand Admiral Thrawn's right-hand man.
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, a loyal Bastard Understudy is a contradiction, surely?
das: Is there a trope for that? I mean, for a student of a Magnificent Bastard who is actually loyal to his mentor if to no-one else?
