The Drama Triangle is much used in training counsellors in the therapeutic/counselling world, and we are often warned about the 'messianic' syndrome of the Rescuer, especially as the desire to help others is a large part of our motivation to enter that world in the first place.
It seems that internalising one's victimhood is as perilous as any  act of persecution, and that in some contexts we would do well to substitute the word perpetrator for Persecutor? 
My own use of the Drama Triangle schema in the counselling chamber writes God in the middle, as well as outside.
I'm also intrigued by the fact that it is tripartite...as are some models of Restorative Justice.
