13. It's Reverse Stockholm Syndrome

He takes hostages, and then starts to advocate for them.

Oh, it actually exists:

The reverse of Stockholm sydrome, wherein the captors develop feelings of sympathy for their hostages, is called Lima syndrome. It’s name comes from a hostage situation in 1996 at the Japanese embassy in Lima, Peru. 14 young members of Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) took hundreds of diplomats, government officials, and business people hostage.

All of the female hostages were released after the first night, and another 225 were released within a few days. After 126 days, all of the remaining hostages were released after a government raid.

During the raid one hostage was killed, and afterwards some members of the MRTA were extra-judicially executed by the government, causing public outcry. Recounting the experience, hostages noted that they had engaged in long talks with the militants, and captors who had been tasked with killing hostages hadn’t been able to bring themselves do so.
