Description

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder is when a character is constantly betray their allies and move on to a new group and repeat the pattern. The character may be doing it for a higher purpose or their own selfish betterment or they could just be Ax Crazy. but unlike Heel Face Revolving Door they don't change alignment.

These characters are also commonly Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Evil, Chaotic Stupid, Stupid Evil, or Stupid Neutral. (Lawful and/or Good characters tend to see betrayal as a big no-no, and Neutral Evil characters (probably) won't betray their current allies just for the hell of it.)

Examples (spoilers!)

Spy Kids - The real Big Bad, Mr. Alexander Minion made a business out of this.


Dr. Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

The opening sequence of The Dark Knight has a long chain of henchmen backstabbing each other, with the Joker killing the final henchman.

Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean; it rubs off on everyone else, too.

Star Wars - The Sith use betrayal and treachery as their modus operandi.

Scott from TotalDrama. He got the idea to sabotage his own team to win. When he changes teams he decided to sabotage tat one to.

Starscream of Transformers

Wuya from Xiaolin Showdown. Once she was demoted to minion, her Chessmaster boss considered her so reliably untrustworthy he incorporated her inevitable betrayal into his plans.

Yeah, I wondered about that one's strategy of sabotaging his own team's chances of winning challenges. After all, every time your team is up for elimination is another time YOU could be voted off, & yet somehow he made it to the final four, so I guess it works.
