Line 197:
* In ''[[Operation Winback]]'' for the N64, the main story involves tracking down your fellow squad members from whom you were separated. One of the first to be encountered is Matt, the black squad member, who instantly receives a sniper bullet to the face from one of the game's later bosses.
* The early ''[[Resident Evil]]'' games played this straight with the likes of Kenneth J. Sullivan (''[[Resident Evil 1]]''), Marvin Branagh (''[[Resident Evil 2]]''), and Tyrell Patrick (''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis]]''). While technically speaking none of them die first, they don't really contribute much in the story other than get killed as soon as they appear. The most egregious example listed is Marvin, who was actually intended to be an important side-character in the canceled first version of ''Resident Evil 2'' (aka ''[[Vaporware|Resident Evil 1.5]]''), but was [[Demoted to Extra]] in the actually released version.
* The first named character to die in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey]]'' is the token black man, Commander Gore, in the first hour of the game. But he later comes back as the [[Magical Negro]].
* The first member of your squad to die in ''Blacksite: Area 51'' is Mitchell Ambrose, the only black man. He's also introduced by showing you pictures of his family and was also going to ask for leave after this mission.
* In The [[Chzo Mythos]] game ''7 Days a Skeptic'', Barry dies first. The assignment also [[Retirony|happens to be the last before his retirement]], so he never really stood a chance.
