Scapesheep

A person who is influencing a group of people and goes unnoticed. Always seems to be neutral when the influence has turned into instigating.

a secret Hitler, if you will

Walked into a house party and there was a scapesheep. What looks to be a good fun conflict, will soon turn into an unfortunate outcome. If you are able to find the scapesheep, the best thing you can do is save yourself;do not be a hero and try to save other people because it will most likely offend them and ultimately become a victim of the vicious cycle. You know what they say--if you don't know who it is, it is probably you.

Rule of thumb: Not all scapesheep are psychopaths, but all psychopaths are scapesheep.
