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?

Shoot the Dog is what comes to mind, the TGT being the "dog". Also check Too Good for This Sinful Earth, although I think that's not what you're seeking.

In a team of questionable morality, they're Token Good Teammate will be the first to kick the bucket. It may not be obvious at first. The others will put on a sweet, innocent charade, while the Token Good Teammate will be cynical and snarky, and a bit volatile, due to seeing through their charade and growing embittered after failed attempts to convince anyone else of it. This is an inversion of Asshole Victim, even if it at first looks like they're the jerkass, but they're only that way because they know they're teammates are worse. Depending on the situation, the TGT may just have some horrible luck, or will die due to being the only one brave enough (And least concerned about his own skin) to go get help or scout the area...or, if his other teammates are REALLY bad, they may arrange a little "accident" for him...
