An experienced crook who takes in street children, usually orphans, and coaches them to steal for him, usually through pickpocketing, The Con or both. Like the original Charles Dickens character (from Oliver Twist), this trope is subject to two distinct interpretations. Sometimes, the character will be a Lovable Rogue and will be presented as essentially giving these homeless kids the best life possible. On the other hand, other versions of this are cruel exploiters (who usually claim to be the former) and function similarly to the Orphanage of Fear. Less sympathetic examples may qualify as a Babysitter from Hell or even worse.
