* Everytime [[Modern Warfare|Vladimir Makarov]] appears in the flesh, without exception, a [[Player Character]] either dies or gets critically wounded, usually along with other important characters as well. He {{spoiler|exceutes Allen at the end of "No Russian"}}, he {{spoiler|guns down Harkov when hijacking the President's plane}}, he {{spoiler|sets up the ambush that kills Kamarov and eventually kills Soap}}, he {{spoiler|shot Yuri in the gut during the flashback}} and {{spoiler|he finished Yuri off}} at the end of the third ''[[Modern Warfare]]'' game. Basically, anytime Makarov appears, it is ''bad news''.

* Amante Furlair in [[Zone Of Enders|ZoE Fist of Mars]] who is either {{30XanatosPileUp directly or indirectly responsible for every single notable character death}} aside from {{spoiler|Ares and Ned}} and she's '''''only 15'''''. Amante is essentially the Azula of mecha games. It's a real shame the cast has not appeared in SRW, as she'd likely have a reputation equivalent to that of Simo Hayha with a [[Colony Drop]] being the FIRST response to any sighting of her. She even mindrapes then kills [[Team Pet]] bishounen Philbright, turning him against you [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|before discarding him as being useless as a pilot.]] And to top it all off [[Karma Houdini|she gets away with it all too]] because Kojima got too wrapped up doing endless spinoffs of [[Metal Gear Solid]] to have time to return to [[Zo E]]! In the end {{spoiler|she is revealed to be a top-ranking soldier of BAHRAM the terrorist organisation from the original [[Zo E]] and inserted herself as the coquettish {{Yandere psycho clingy girlfiend to everyone}} merely to off BOTH sides of the civil war so BAHRAM could move in unopposed.}} While she isn't totally successful, considering the player's team is the only opposition remaining on Mars it's a good bet the BIS would have had an amazing uphill battle of Sisyphusian proportions.

* General RAAM from [[Gears of War]]. He kills Minh Young Kim in his very first cutscene, and then, in the RAAM's Shadow DLC, he {{spoiler|offs Alicia Valera, and almost kills Jace Stratton, not to mention the countless Gears and Onyx Guards he murders.}}

* Thanks to ''Hyrule Historia'', [[The Legend of Zelda|Ganondorf]] has ascended to one of these in an alternate timeline spawning from {{spoiler|[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]].}} Notably, while his [[Hero Killer]] status is often challenged, he's offed more than his fair share of highly significant characters, including the sages from ''Wind Waker'' (forcing Link to seek out replacements) and {{spoiler|Midna}} from ''Twilight Princess.'' Subverted in ''Wind Waker'', where he soundly thrashes Link and Zelda in their first fight, only to spare their lives in a rare [[Pet the Dog]] moment.
