To sum it up he basically allows the murder mystery to play out all while knowing who the true killer was, keeping everyone else from finding out, placing the blame on someone else in order to complete the mission given to him from the queen, all while not only keeping suspicion off of himself, but also making himself seem like a victim. The Chessmaster: Proved it during the murder mystery arc where he planned out and orchestrated the entire event.Byronic Hero: A very young example, but he still fits this trope to a T.A Boy and His X: A boy and his demon butler.And he was kidnapped, and taken off to be a slave to a cult.
