Messenger of Doom

This trope is normally associated with characters whose appearance is to bring forth a message of impending danger to a group of people to whom the message is being delivered. The character in question could be sent by someone as a herald, either for purposes of good or evil, or that could be their own life's mission, having witnessed something terrible or having known a terrible secret that he or she must reveal for the intended recipient's future survival.
