TheLancer describes a character who is, from the trope page, a character who \\\"has the same well-rounded skill set as [TheHero], but lacks his pure leadership ability and team spirit.\\\" They are generally similar with a few tweaks to differentiate the characterization for TheLancer.

NumberTwo is specifically the second-in-command to TheCaptain, there to take over when the captain is off doing other things.

TheDragon is the far stronger subordinate of a weaker, smarter mastermind, who serves as the leader of their forces and their general offensive force in general. They can be anything from pure fighters who let their boss do the thinking, or detailed administrators who do the day-to-day work while letting their superior deal with the grand scheme of things. They also have an extremely great loyalty to their master, and if you want to defeat the master you need to defeat the Dragon first.

Note how I removed any references to TheDragon being an evil trope, and it still matches every example. The first two are definitely not counterparts of this trope; they have very little in common. Sure, TheLancer could overlap with a heroic Dragon but they are definitely not the moral counterparts.
