Another character who lives two lives is Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. On the outside he seems determined to do what is good for the people, but really he means to cause harm. Like Dorian, most of the people Palpatine surrounds himself with think he is a good leader. Or at least don't believe him to be a villain at heart, like how Basil thinks of Dorian.
In the end though both Dorian and Palpatine find their sins appeared on their physical form. Palpatine gains his at he end of Revenge of the Sith, and Dorian's secrets aren't revealed on himself till after he has died. |
