"In the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) role-playing game, the Dungeon Master (often abbreviated as DM) is the game organizer and participant in charge of creating the details and challenges of a given adventure, while maintaining a realistic continuity of events. In effect, the Dungeon Master controls all aspects of the game, except for the actions of the player characters (PCs), and describes to the players what they see and hear."

I'm pretty sure this is what "Dungeon Master" is supposed to be referring to, considering the archtype he's following and the fact that none of the other strangers have names that immediately suggest their true evil nature. As for what makes the Dungeon Master dangerous? We'll just have to wait and see.
