It happens that the hero everyone admires turns out to be a fake. But it also happens that in the place of a fake there is a real hero, even if in the moral aspect this hero is sometimes worse than the fake original.

Or Albus Dumbledore's secret agent? Or maybe even an alien from another world? Who are you, Mr. Lockhart?
