Doesn't only have to be a "mentor" but can also be a father figure as well. Anything encompassing a bit of drama, thriller, preferably little to no romance.
Character dynamics in TV shows/Movies that resemble this:
– Andrew and Fletcher from Whiplash
– Kendal Roy and Logan Roy from Succession
– Nina Sayers and Thomas Leroy from Black Swan
– Jesse Pinkman and Walter White from Breaking Bad
