* After killing the dark god ruling their entire organization, the Cabal from ''[[Blood]]'' refers to Caleb almost exclusively as "The Great Betrayer".

* ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' has quite a few of these, such as Karel "The Sword Demon", Raven {{spoiler|Raymond of Cornwell}}, and the entire Black Fang organization (Lloyd the White Wolf, Linus the Mad Dog, Ursula the Blue Crow, Jaffar the Angel of Death, Legault the Hurricane, Uhai the Soaring Hawk, Aion the Owl, Teodor the Shrike), and even ''weapons'' get their own nicknames, like Durandal, the Blazing Sword, and Armads, the Thunder Axe). Pretty much, if you're anyone at all in the game, you've got a nickname.

** It's worth mentioning that this is a tradition in ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' that often goes hand in hand with their use of [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. From time to time, those are made out of elite generals of a side and they usually have corresponding titles, the six generals of Grado in the eighth game for example are all named after gemstones.

* In ''[[.hack]]'', this pops up twice. Two of the top players, Orca and Balmung, are known as the Azure Sea and Azure Sky, respectively. {{spoiler|After the events of the first quadrilogy of games, Kite becomes known as the Azure Flame.}} Also, each of the Eight Phases has a title in addition to their name. Some (like The Terror of Death and The Mirage of Deceit) work better than others (The Propagation and The Temptress aren't quite as impressive in comparison).
