I was going to do this to my table. We only have 2 PCs currently (my wife and stepson), so I gave them a GMPC guide who was supposed to be the BBEG in disguise.
But they came to love the GMPC, and I can’t do that to them, so now he’s just their pet human.
That’s probably where I’d plan for a later twist where the GMPC was actually the BBEG at one point but got replaced by the current, more ruthless BBEG. There’d be a whole succession of people of varying evilness sharing the same name and title. Kind of like a Dread Pirate Roberts situation.
