I chose "Betrayer," but only a certain kind of betrayer. I enjoy fighting the friend who still believes in the same "ideals" as the main character, but has a twisted notion of how to attain those ideals. For example, someone who truly wants world peace, but thinks that it can only be brought about by waging a war that weakens nations to the point they can no longer wage war. It could be argued, I supposed, that these are "lunatics." However, I'm thinking more of the misunderstood crusader who thinks they are trying to do right, and can put forth a reasoned, logical argument for their actions, though most wouldn't agree with them.
I feel that when this kind of antagonist is put up as a foil character against the protagonist, it tends to force the main character to be less "cliche" when it comes to their motives and character development... How ya doing, buddy?
