The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope?

Sounds kind of like Merciful Minion (although the description for that trope doesn't specifically mention greed as a possible motive).
Death Faked for You and Made a Slave are also relevant.

Merciful Minion combined with Pragmatic Villainy, perhaps?
TV Tropes's No. 1 bread themed lesbian. she/her, fae/faer
A henchman is ordered to kill the hero, but said henchman is greedy. Why not make a quick buck by selling him and just telling the villain he's dead?
