* Played with in Brandon Sanderson's ''[[Mistborn]]''. Main character [[Action Girl|Vin]] knows from the beginning of the story that her father is an important nobleman (she inherited [[Extraordinarily Empowered Girl|her powers]] from him), but doesn't know his identity. He turns out to be Tevidian, High Prelan (priest) of the [[Corrupt Church]] and right-hand-man to [[Evil Overlord|the Lord Ruler]]. Surely this leads to a dramatic moment where the rebel Vin confronts and defeats her badass [[The Dragon|Dragon]] father? Wrong- when we meet Tevidian, he turns out to be a coward who toadies to the Inquisitors (the ''real'' Dragons) and gets killed offhand for [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|essentially annoying them]] without ever getting a chance to ''speak'' with his daughter. But honestly, nobody was really that torn up about it. |
