* 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]].

* In the [[1632]] stories, Grantville's famed sniper, Julie Mackay. In the short story ''Here Comes Santa Claus'', she's sought out by a messenger from the King of Bohemia, seeking recompense for her now-famous act at the Battle of the Alte Veste... though they've gotten the story wrong and are initially looking for a Jew named Lee. Eventually, they get it right, and fortunately for her, her father is in the proper line of work to provide the requested service, resulting in ''The Wallenstein Gambit''. And in ''The Baltic War'' and ''The Ottoman Onslaught'', she's practically being fawned over by special forces soldiers and secret agents.
