Minion of Mordred

The Minion of Mordred is Evil's foot soldier: no printed power, but the one advantage that matters — during the reveal ritual you opened your eyes and saw the whole conspiracy (special characters aside). While Good spends the game guessing, you know: who to shield, who to crown, and exactly which teams deserve a quiet Fail card.

Your art is restraint. In Quest, Evil's win condition explicitly punishes the obvious: fail three quests and Good still gets its Last Chance to name you all. A Minion who was never quite suspected of anything is worth more than one who won three quests loudly.

Evil wins by failing three quests — but the third fail doesn't end anything: it hands Good the Last Chance to point out every Evil player, and if they succeed, your victory evaporates. So your true win condition is three fails plus anonymity. Every deflected suspicion, every framed Loyal Servant, every "reluctant" Success you played early is armor for that final scene.

If the table hosts a Blind Hunter, you have a second door: the Hunt, where Evil wins by identifying Good's key characters. Feed the Hunter your reads all game — quietly.

Every round offers you three levers, each double-edged:

• On a team, choose your card — a Fail advances the track but stains everyone on that quest, you included. An early Success buys credibility that pays for a devastating late Fail
• As Leader, pick a poisoned team — include exactly one conspirator (maybe yourself) among proven-looking players, so the coming Fail splashes onto Good names
• Crowning is your quietest weapon — hand the crown to a fellow Minion while making it look like caution, or crown a confused Loyal Servant whose picks will look guilty later

And always: count Fails like an accountant. On "Two Fails required" spaces, an uncoordinated single Fail is pure evidence with zero progress — know before the cards are played who, if anyone, is failing.
