Stop hand

What is thy bidding, my master?
~ Darth Vader to Emperor Palpatine.
Because I'm the guy at your side, steps between you and the shit, tries to kill you. I'm your right-hand, Clay.
~ Tig Trager to Clay Morrow.

The Right-Hand is the most powerful, loyal, trusted, and authoritative henchperson of the main villain, also being the next-in-command and usually the second-to-last villain taken down by heroes.

Almost all right-hands are totally loyal to their master (even worshipping them like gods) but there are some at their side just for personal interests or feelings. While the main Villain provides a mental challenge the Right-Hand provides a physical challenge; as such it is not uncommon for a Right-Hand to be mightier than the main villain.

In some works, the Right-Hand is the The Heavy and appears more often and gets more screen time than their master, in order to make the main villain more mysterious and therefore more frightening. A main villain can also have multiple Right-Hands, either with different responsibilities or as a replacement of one who has died. Sometimes, a Right-Hand can survive their master's demise and seek to revive them or accomplish their master's goal on their behalf as in Death and Fate Averruncus's cases.

Their heroic counterparts are Sidekicks, who are characters who assist heroes.
