Luke, I Am Your Father: Difference between revisions

** Cadfael himself also turns out to be {{spoiler|the father of Olivier, a young man from the Holy Land who makes his first appearance in "The Virgin in the Ice."}}

* In ''All the King's Men'', {{spoiler|Judge Irwin was revealed to be Jack Burden's father at the precise moment it was also revealed that he had shot himself.}}

* In ''[[Villains by Necessity]]'', it turns out near the end (hinted at earlier subtly {{spoiler|main antagonist Mizzamir is Sam's father, and wiped his mother's mind after raping her, proving [[Light Is Not Good]], indirectly helping to put Sam into his life of being a cold-blooded hired killer.}}

* 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.
