What infanticide it?
it's on the same level, using the analogy of organized crime...
as the misinformant, the double agent snitch. Spreading lies. Trying to cash in on the information, even though it's not true. But he can see the existing hatred and simply exploits it.
Also on the lines of that character from Lord of the Rings, the trusted advisor. Wormwood? Called out by Aragorn and got his ass kicked back to Mordor.
Now that's something I can relate to!
