If that is the premise we can definitely exclude Xavier.

He may be chaotic and freaky and loooove stabbing people in the back and eating them. But i bet hes also earnest, loyal to his friends and dedicated to their cause.

My bets are on the noble cause i don’t like the rich.

The only reason a noble would leave the safety of their royal home and go on a super dangerous quests would be for clout and prestige. Hiding behind your teammates isn’t brave though… being the only survivor though..

That concludes my in depth psychoanalysis of these single use meme characters.

• Eric is found dead leading everyone to believe Xavier killed him.
• So they tie up Xavier until they can figure out what to do with him.
• The next morning Xavier is found with head smashed in.
• Audience is led to believe only Brock has the strength to smash his head in.
• Brock jumps off a cliff. Turns out he was being manipulated by Mary the Betrayer the whole time.

100% its Eric. He is noble so he will see everyone else as beneath him by default.

It’s Eric the noble, 100%.

It’s Mary. 100%. Everyone’s looking at Xavier should be ashamed of themselves for their physical, racial, and cultural insensitivity.

Either the Noble or the Pure. The Cannibal backstabber is a secret hero.

Two possibilities:

• Xavier is a cannibal but since he's clearly a different race than the others, he isn't interested in eating them.

• Xavier is the Cannibal Backstabber, so he will help by stabbing the cannibal who is about to betray the others.

It's not Xavier! Instead it's his evel twin!

And it ends up being the noble just to pull a “Gotcha!” for subversion’s sake.

The obvious answer would be either Eric or Mary, let's be real. I've read way too many of these kind of stories.

Well it can't be Xavier, he spends all his time backstabbing cannibals

My bet is on the noble, the more wealthier the more rotten.

This is why I dislike even knowing the simple fact that there is some twist in the show I am going to watch. Even knowing that there is a twist is somewhat of a spoiler, and you are left guessing what it might be the entire time you are watching it.

Definitely Mary. After Miquella the Kind, it becomes obvious.

Consistently the cannibal backstabber turns out to be kind and just an ex social outcast while the noble actually cuts deals with the bbeg

Last year I watched LotR for the first time (yesyes) and I was shocked that

Eric the Noble spent thousands of gold on his image, otherwise he begged Jeffrey the Noble (later Jeffrey the Child Rapist) to let him on his island, excommunicated his trans daughter, and bought up public square "Twitter" to control it. Xavier just likes to backstab cannibals.

Eric the Noble. Does Griffith ring a bell??

Reminds me of that 'So You Want To Be A Superhero ' show by Stan Lee. There was a person that was a plant to betray the rest of the heroes. His name was Rotiart. Traitor backwards. It worked though because it was just the first episode and I didn't notice till afterwards.

Some of Shu Takumi’s games did a good job of building up foil characters; they seem just suspicious enough to convince viewers they’re the twist villain. But as it turns out, all their goals are noble.

AAInvestigations 2 had perhaps the best one though. Very little attention on the actions of the mastermind, but the few things they do stand out so it feels like you should’ve known, rather than feeling like a Butler Did It.

Probably Brock, he looks suspicious

my money is on Mary.

there's something about her...

Old time sci-fi adventure show Blake's 7 did the ultimate twist

Of course it's either the noble or mary... or both

They will get introduced for 3 minutes in the beginning as a side-character, never get mentioned again to the point you forget them, and then backstab the main cast 3 minutes before the end.

Can you guess which one is the evil dark magician that hides their actions in a veil of darkness, murders children and is inspired by someone who revived a world destroying demon to get revenge on his father because he left them because god gave him power to protect the planet from that demon, but required him to leave his family (he agreed, influenced by the fact that his wife was also killed by that demon)
