* ''[[Exalted]]'': Abyssal Exalts, traditionally 'sacrificing' their names and replacing them with titles, sometimes begin their new titles with The. Being Exalts embodying death, destruction and decay, they also tend to be [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|names you run away from]]. Given that titles have a tendency to be flowery, poetic, and overwrought, they make you wonder if they might be names someone ran away with... or at least got carried away with. None the less, 'the' seems used as a division between Name and Title in most of the game's parlance.

* ''[[NetHack]]'' uses this for some of its artifacts (e.g. The Eye of the Aethiopica, The Heart of Ahriman and The Magic Mirror of [[Merlin]]) and quest nemesis monsters (e.g. The Cyclops, The Dark One). It comes up often when spelling the artifacts' names for wishes.
* [[Barbarian Hero|'''The''' Iron Bull]] in ''[[Dragon Age: Inquisition]]''. He is ''not'' an Iron Bull, he is [[Insistent Terminology|'''''The''''' Iron Bull]], and he will ''not'' let you forget it.

** Ditto''[[Homestar Runner]]'' does this with several characters, [[Rule of Funny|''especially'' when it makes no grammatical sense]]. There's The Cheat, "The Paper" and Homestar's 1936 counterpart, "The Homestar Runner".
