Line 99:
** Jamie "The Kingslayer" Lannister is famous throughout Westeros for killing Aerys [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|"The Mad King"]] Targaryen, for being incredibly good-looking, and for being the best swordsman in the kingdom. He finds it rather annoying.
* In the ''[[Codex Alera]]'', Aldrick ex Gladius often serves as [[The Dragon]] for whichever character is currently in control, and not as a clear antagonist on his own, but he is legendary throughout Alera for his famed skill with the sword. His duel with Araris Valerian, also legendary because of his skill, is still being talked about ''fifteen years later''.
* The hero of [[Keith Laumer]]'s ''Galactic Odyssey'', [[Awesome McCoolname|Billy Danger]], let a group of aliens [[Eye Scream|put out one of his eyes]] [[Heroic Sacrifice|in order to buy the freedom of some comrades]]. This comes to his aid later in the book, because the story has spread, and some [[Proud Warrior Race]] aliens decide that a guy who'd do that is just too awesome for them to stand by and not help him.
