So the dude that sacrifices his brother is _less_ socipathic and thus
the good guy?

Ok, how about this one...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Frederick_Goode_III
Jason Verdow was a classmate of mine in third grade, so this always
stuck in my mind.
One of the things left out of the Wikipedia article was the scandal
that (allegedly) , Goode's parents in Ft Myers gave him money to help
him escape. I remember it being on the news, but it's not showing in
web searches so maybe it was one of those things the news got wrong.

Anyway...

The family of the official Jabru conspire with a well placed family
who's child is a pedophilic murderer.
The murderer is scheduled for execution for his crimes, and the family
figures if they get him off planet, they can at least save his life.
The official Jabru is a true believer in the religion, but he figures
the only way this guy could be that evil is if the Bad Spirits are
already in him, so he's doing the right thing to make the switch,
because executing him would just release them.

Of course, as the players are conned into giving him passage, he'll do
his most charming best to get them to untie him, release him at the
next port with no one the wiser as to his past...
