Line 12:
Possibly related to the [[Identical Grandson]]. Only one in a generation can take the "legacy."
 
The last offspring of a [['''Single Line of Descent]]''' is by definition the [[Last of His Kind]].

Line 32:
 
* A character in ''[[Dogma]]'' is the only member of {{spoiler|[[Jesus]]'s brother's}} bloodline (through a sibling of the "ancestor" instead of the "ancestor" himself).
* In ''[[Underworld (film)|Underworld]]''. The [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Lycans]] are searching for a human descendant of the progenitor of both werewolves and vampires, but they need one with a specific gene and a wall filled with crossed over photographs tell us that there has been a lot of failures before the events of the movie. But that's because all they have to go on to find that one descendant is his last name, Corwin, which isn't exactly rare or unique. Depending on how long they've been looking for this guy, and killing the ones who don't meet their specifications, the Lycans may be the ''reason'' there's only a [[Single Line of Descent]].
* ''[[The Shadow]]'', the [[Big Bad]] is the last descendant of Genghis Khan. And now compare this to what is written in the [[Real Life]] section.
* Explained in ''[[The Covenant]]'' that only the firstborn males in each generation receive powers. There may well be many descendants of the original (male) witches of Salem, but only five males with the Power per generation (there are five families).
