Balaam Son of Beor
archetypes
Diviner the kings hire; cannot curse what God has blessed and says so when speaking; nevertheless counsels Balak to send the women of Moab to seduce Israel into Baal-peor; dies by the sword in that battle. Failure mode: Speaking true prophecy while planning the back-door corruption. Restoration path: None taken; the warning to those who would sell truth for wages. Markers: accurate prophecy when speaking; but loves the wages of unrighteousness; provides the workaround when direct curse fails; the donkey sees what the prophet does not; dies among those he counseled to corrupt
