I can't recall, but is there a clinical definition for a person who comes
to
the defense and praise of a person that everyone else thinks is subhuman?
Do
you remember an English guy that wrote a book claiming that Adolph Hitler
was really a good guy, and that the Atrocities were made up by the Allied
side just to justify the war? Is there an actual common behavior here, or
is
it just part of many different behavior problems?
Pardon the apparent off topic nature pf this question.

There is a name: Igor, the Vampire's helper, helping his master suck the
life and joy out of this hobby.









It's been a while since I've seen any of the many Dracula movies, but wasn't
the count's helper named Rensing (or something close to that)?.
Coincidentally, in at least one movie version, Rensing was at some point
confined to a mental institution and ate various insects.

Igor, as I recall, was a name also frequently given to the count's assistant.
It conjures up images of a hunched-over, rather slow-witted servant, who walked
with a noticeable limp.


Some of the parallels are quite striking.
