He's joined The Hero to save the day. If The Hero appealed for a group of characters to join him (a group of which he was likely the oldest or the leader, or both), he argued against it and was the last to join, but he did, and he will work quite hard, perhaps more than anyone else on the team. He is likely to be one of the most skilled and useful members and may even overlap with the Cynical Mentor. He may even make a Heroic Sacrifice. May contrast with Least Is First as his Foil, but more often is a Foil for The Hero. Examples of Sour Supporter include:

  • He's joined The Hero to save the day. If The Hero appealed for a group of characters to join him (a group of which he was likely the oldest or the leader, or both), he argued against it and was the last to join, but he did, and he will work quite hard, perhaps more than anyone else on the team. He is likely to be one of the most skilled and useful members and may even overlap with the Cynical Mentor. He may even make a Heroic Sacrifice. But if so, he will regard it as Senseless Sacrifice. Grumpy Bear that he is, he makes no bones about considering The Hero's plan futile, and may join only because his friends are, and anything else is also futile. Possibly even only because it's his only way to avoid Dying Alone. Often the oldest member of the group, and prone to Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids. (Though not often so gloomy as to be The Eeyore.) In lulls in the action, he may explicitly observe that they are all going to die. Indeed, he may be the Sarcastic Devotee, though he is capable of making this observation only once or twice, or not at all. In very hard cases, tragically, he may decide that the effort is not worth it and leave. He may even encounter the Villain and have a Face Heel Turn, but this is uncommon. Usually he's no worse than the "Disney Anti Hero" on the Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes. May contrast with Least Is First as his Foil, but more often is a Foil for The Hero. Contrast Divided We Fall. Compare The Resenter, who actively resents the hero. Can be a Knight in Sour Armor. Examples of Sour Supporter include:
