* Andrew Tabor of the ''Apple Valley'' books is assumed to be a drunken bum because his father is, and has to leave town forever in order to get rid of that reputation.
* Aedelas Blackmoore of the [[Warcraft]] novel [[Warcraft: Lord of the Clans]] is the son of a traitor to the Alliance, and the stigma he endured as a result may have contributed to his drinking problem and his resulting plan to train Thrall as a puppet ruler of the Orc clans to turn them against the Alliance and gain control of it for himself.

As cambions—elf-demon half-breeds—they are literally half evil, and Iselore warned their foster mother against raising them because of this. Their foster mother was the only one who ever believed they could grow up to be good people.

** He must have been a very good baseball player BEFORE he started sucking.
* Referenced in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'': Flik moans that if he fails "my children's children will walk down the street and people will say, 'Look, there goes the spawn of Flik the Loser!'"
