An Ambadassador is a character whose role is that of a diplomat or negotiator. But when the peace talks fail they advance their agenda with violence. They will have skills in Aggressive Negotiations and experience with Blood on the Debate Floor. Any enemy leader or officer who thinks he can Shoot the Messenger will soon learn why this is a bad idea. This is a diplomat who does not need a diplomat's traditional immunity. They may be someone that Minored in Ass-Kicking. A Guile Hero who outfoxes red tape is also possible. May overlap with "Ass" in Ambassador, if their ability enables them to think they can walk over the other party. See also Action Politician, for domestic politicians, and Colonel Badass and Four-Star Badass, for military officers. |

The whole premise of GreedFall is that you, as De Sardet, are a "legate" of the Merchant Congregation, sent to a recently-colonized island to assisst your good-for-nothing governor cousin in managing diplomatic relations with other colonial powers, as well as with the natives (you also have a second mission, to find a cure for Malichor, but that's not your official job). The island being a pretty lawless frontier populated by highly aggressive fauna, De Sardet has no choice but to get really good at fighting to survive countless muggings, animal and monster attacks, and assassination attempts — and especially after the latter, their diplomatic skills are then needed to resolve the underlying issues without screwing up their fragile relations with whatever faction ordered the hit. | |

S'taass in Star Trek Online is a soft-spoken and highly intelligent man who represents the Klingon Empire's interests in the Deep Space 9 area with great expertise. He's also a Gorn, which means he's an eight-foot-tall bipedal lizard fully capable of tearing Jem'Hadar to pieces with his teeth and claws, as he demonstrates when a Dominion fleet attacks Deep Space 9 in "Second Wave". | |

In the Dragon Age series: The Grey Wardens of Dragon Age: Origins are supposed to stay politically neutral, but they are forced to get involved in both the Ferelden Civil War and the Orzammar succession crisis, as they need both countries focused on repelling the Darkspawn instead of petty in-fighting. Hawke in Dragon Age II is forced to become one in Act II, being the only one in Kirkwall that the Arishok deems worthy enough to parley with. In Act III, they mention they've occasionally been called upon in their role as Champion to "rescue" visiting foreign heads of state from having to put up with Knight-Commander Meredith for too long. In the post-game "Trespasser" DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dorian is sent as Tevinter's ambassador to the Exalted Council which will decide the Inquisition's fate. Cue an attempted Qunari invasion. |

Honor Harrington: In David Weber's Mission Of Honor, Honor gets to play peace ambassador to the Republic of Haven. Of course, she is also the single highest-ranking currently-serving officer in the RMN and the commander of the only fleet with the longest-possible-range Manticoran Missile Massacre (read: unstoppable superweapon). She conducts the peace talks with said fleet hanging over the Havenite homeworld. The Havenites are led by Eloise Pritchart, who before the war was a revolutionary against the Legislaturalists, and her right-hand-man is Admiral Thomas Theisman, who personally removed Haven's previous dictatorial regime from power. You don't stay on top in Havenite politics for very long unless you are very hard to kill. At one point in the negotiations, Pritchart fantasizes about using Honor's badass abilities to eliminate a rather troublesome senator. Manticore likes to use former officers as diplomats. All the way back in The Honor of the Queen, their ambassador to Grayson is a retired Marine, and the head of their treaty delegation, while technically wearing a business suit, is referred to by everyone — on both sides — as "Admiral". However not all of Manticore's Ambadassadors are military. Dame Estelle Matsuko, who appears in the first novel, On Basilisk Station, and again in the Saganami Island Talbott Quadrant-centric sub-series, is a diminutive Badass Bureaucrat who can scare the pants off Solarians. In reflection of her badass, by the time she shows up in The Shadow of Saganami, she's Lady Dame Estelle Matsuko, Baroness Medusa. |

Played with in EATATAU!!!. Kor'la, the Ttau "ambassador" sent with the eldar Seer can kick some serious ass... Because he's actually a Fire Caste member, trained as a warrior, and sent away by his teacher in hopes of getting rid of him. True, he's still a kid and undergraduate, but at the same time he has a real knack for overcoming such problems with the help of his Crysis suit and is instrumental in dealing with Greater Demon. | |

Any of the protagonists in the Shin Megami Tensei series when engaging in negotiations with demons. As any given demon has the caring capability of a turnip, all of them require a significant gift with speech to ensure cooperation. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey's Player Character, Flynn of Shin Megami Tensei IV, Nanashi of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, and the Nahobino of Shin Megami Tensei V somewhat cheat by incorporating negotiation Apps (or in the Nahobino's case, Miracles) into their arsenal, which increase the probability of the demon being more receptive or supportive to your cause. | |

Case in point: in The Fifth Elephant, Vimes is given a diplomatic mission to Ãœberwald. He brings along Cheery Littlebottom (an openly female dwarf) as well as Detritus (an unlicensed troll) as his "cultural attache". For reference, this is like bringing a transvestite and Mossad agent to Tehran. In the same book Vimes solves a crime that could have plunged the region into war and kills several werewolves with his bare hands.note He's later told, by Angua, that the werewolves were holding back a bit to make "The Game" a bit more fun, but his bare-handed "self-defense" was certain better than what Skinner was able to do... | |

Discworld: Copper Samuel Vimes finds himself roped into diplomatic functions as part of his position as the Duke of Ankh. On the one hand, he despises the nobility and is terrible at being polite to them. On the other hand, when a neighboring nation had its army mustering on the border, after Vimes threatened to send his diplomatic opposite home in an ambulance, the offending army was swiftly redeployed so far from the border as to be threatening a country on the other side of it. So Lord Vetinari keeps sending Vimes on these missions partly because the Duke gets results, and partly because Vetinari finds it all amusing. Through his successes, he has by now commanded immense respect from most races (the only one more respected is Vetinari, and that's partly because he is Vimes's boss). Case in point: in The Fifth Elephant, Vimes is given a diplomatic mission to Ãœberwald. He brings along Cheery Littlebottom (an openly female dwarf) as well as Detritus (an unlicensed troll) as his "cultural attache". For reference, this is like bringing a transvestite and Mossad agent to Tehran. In the same book Vimes solves a crime that could have plunged the region into war and kills several werewolves with his bare hands.note He's later told, by Angua, that the werewolves were holding back a bit to make "The Game" a bit more fun, but his bare-handed "self-defense" was certain better than what Skinner was able to do... Duchess Sybil Vimes is more traditionally diplomatic than her husband, but just as capable of caving a werewolf's head in with the iron bar she pulled out of the window she just climbed out of. |

During the second season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Jason, Zack, and Trini had to leave the team. Out of universe this was because their actors had left. In-universe it was because they were selected as US ambassadors to a teen Peace Conference. These are people who spent a good chunk of their non-school hours battling supernatural invaders. Often with their bare hands, so there is no doubt they became this trope. Jason would later return for a while in Power Rangers Zeo badass as ever, and would also demonstrate his diplomatic skills when convincing a gang to stop harassing the beach club Ernie was trying to open. | |

The protagonist of GreedFall is the "Legate" of the Bridge Alliance, which is effectively a diplomat/explorer. Their job requires them to settle disputes either with words or with force and their role as explorer means that they'll have to carve their way through Teer Fradee's various native fauna as well as hostile tribes/bandits. | |

Riff Tamson from Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a shark man who acts as an ambassador for the separatists. But he's cut from a different cloth than your usual Dirty Coward Smug Snake separatist commander: he's a dangerous, devious badass who fights on the front lines during the occupation of Mon Calamari and can go toe-to-toe with Jedi knights despite his lack of a lightsaber or any kind of force sensitivity. | |

Schlock Mercenary: Ex-Admiral Breya Andreyasn functions as the United Nations of Sol's ambassador to the Fleetmind. Definitely badass, both for her accomplishments prior to appointment, and for some of the things she did AS ambassador. Due to a complicated series of events involving a lost era of galactic history, a resurrected species, and a fleet of warships, the Toughs end up escorting diplomats on a trip to Earth. This means that the bodyguards get diplomatic immunity, and Captain Murtaugh is genuinely terrified of what Sergeant Schlock will do with this new power. Not much, as it turns out. He mostly uses it to get out of fines when people try to arrest him for things like jumping off buildings — dangerous for a human, but harmless for him. |

Exalted: The Eclipse Caste (and their corrupted equivalents, the Moonshadows and Fiends/Penumbras) are meant to serve as diplomats, ambassadors, and envoys, and have Charm sets aimed towards managing bureaucracies, engaging the court, and composing perfect letters. They are just as capable of learning nigh-godly fighting styles as any other Caste, and are capable of writing a Strongly Worded Letter that can kill you. The role isn't limited to the above castes, as demonstrated by Fair-Spoken Rishi, the signature Orichalcum Caste Alchemical. |

Vorkosigan Saga: Miles Vorkosigan in several of the stories in the series, including Cetaganda and Diplomatic Immunity. Ghem-Colonel Benin is a contact of Miles' in Cetagandan Security, and he twice helps stop an interstellar crisis. At the end of A Civil Campaign he represents Cetaganda on Barrayar at the wedding of The Emperor. Emperor Gregor himself played the Ambadassador in The Vor Game, as did Aral. Consol Vorlynkin in Cryoburn. Arsonists arrive to torch a cryo-clinic, killing everyone inside — hundreds, even thousands of people.

Ringworld: Speaker-To-Animals was on Earth as an embassy legate because by the standards of his Proud Warrior Race, the Kzinti, he was embarrassingly meek and ineffectual (which is also why he had a title instead of a name). However, a 'meek' Kzin suited for diplomacy (a concept that the Kzin hadn't even had until the humans beat it into their heads) is still a three meter tall feline engine of destruction with a hair-trigger temper. This 'docile' Kzin's first act in the novel was to scream in rage and threaten to attack Nessus, a representative of the herbivorous Pierson's Puppeteers, after the latter had deliberately insulted the Kzinti. During the expedition, he twice tried to seize control of the ship, and has to restrained by his companions from going Leeroy Jenkins on a number of occasions. Nessus, the mad Puppeteer, is in some ways even more badass than Speaker-To-Animals; after all, he's the member of a species noted for their cowardice, yet he not only baited, and then stood up to, a group of four Kzinti, he personally led the Ringworld expedition despite the tremendous danger involved. His people consider him Ax-Crazy for this. While he is not formally the ambassador to the UN, the raritynote About two hundred out of a population in the trillions of Puppeteers who are willing to travel from their homeworld at allnote to the point that, rather than escape a galaxy-wide disaster on ships, they began moving their homeworld to migrate to safety instead, with a collection of artificial stars and remotely-tended farming worlds orbiting it as it goes means any Puppeteer a human meets will have plenary diplomatic powers, as well as negotiating powers for the General Products Corporation. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zuko's current calling in The Legend of Korra. He reigned as Fire Lord for some sixty-odd years while he rebuilt the Fire Nations' reputation and the rest of the world's... everything. He then retired, abdicated his title and position to his daughter, being the first Fire Lord to do so in over one hundred years. He now travels the world, acts as an unofficial Fire Nation ambassador and helps people out. He's 87. And that won't stop him from taking part in epic firebending battles from the back of his dragon mount. One of the main duties of any Avatar is to act as ambassador, both between nations, and between the mortal world and the spirit world. Since being Avatar also comes hand in hand with a host of elemental powers, they're basically always this. |

Collectively, the role of the titular team on Stargate SG-1, as they specialize in first-contact and other tricky situations. As per their different roles on the team, some members (ie, Daniel) are far more diplomatic while others are more ready to break out the big guns, but all are capable of both talking to and taking out potential allies/enemies. O'Neill is rather phlegmatic, preferring to talk things out. But when someone threatens him and his planet, look out. |

Worf becomes an Ambassador at the end of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. You don't get much more badass than Worf. Especially given that he's long since overcome his TNG-era jobbing streak. Also, from what we've heard anyway, Curzon Dax would probably qualify. There has to be a reason that three of his closest friends were legendary Klingon warriors Kor, Koloth and Kang. And that said warriors allowed him to join their Blood Oath of revenge against the Albino. Ambassador Spock from TOS is pretty handy in a fight, too. Just because he doesn't like fighting doesn't mean he's not good at it. And his father is the formidable, nigh-legendary Sarek of Vulcan. Who, while he very much would prefer not to, is entirely capable of defending himself against aggressive diplomats. He also knew the ancient martial art of Tal-Shaya to kill with a single touch if necessary. We see a younger Sarek fight quite capably in Star Trek: Discovery and face a suicide bomber with no display of fear. Ambassador Robert Fox, while definitely putting the "Ass" in Ambassador, is a cut above most of TOS' useless bureaucrats and diplomats. He confronts both Kirk and Scotty head-on, manages to get himself beamed down over the latter's objections, and once the true nature of the situation on Eminiar becomes apparent, he picks up a disruptor and joins the fight. Coming from the other side, Starfleet captains and Starfleet officers in general are taught to be this in the absence of an actual diplomat, as able to negotiate an alliance with The Federation as they are to win a space battle or chart unknown territory. Special mention goes to the Enterprise-C, an Ambassador-class starship with enough firepower to give four Romulan warbirds a serious fight. In fact, this helps cement peace with the Klingon Empire, as the Enterprise is destroyed while fighting to save the Klingon outpost on Narendra III, which is viewed as a Heroic Sacrifice. |

In Quest for Glory V he must negotiate peace with the Tritons to put an end to their attacks on shipping around Silmaria. The Fighter basically beats them into submission, the Wizard can calm the hostile Tritons and proceed past them, while the Thief can even swim stealthily to sneak in and charm Queen Hippolyta. The Paladin has two options of his own based on the powers he's earned up to this point: Either using the Peace ability, which has a similar effect to the Calm spell, or Awe to send everything hostile running from his aura of sheer badassness. | |

Starfighters of Adumar has Wedge Antilles made into an ambassador and sent to Adumar to try and convince their government to throw in with the New Republic. The Adumari hat is a near-worshipful attitude towards very good pilots, and that's why Wedge was sent — he had no training in diplomacy, but he was the best pilot of his age. In the end, even his traitorous diplomatic liaison underestimated just how good he was. | |

Mass Effect: All Krogan ambassadors are expected to be this, since Krogan society is based around Asskicking Leads to Leadership, so what better way to get other clans to respect you than by sending the most badass warrior you have to represent you? Commander Shepard is probably the best example, in practical terms. Especially the Paragon path, which involves a lot of patient, kind-hearted diplomacy. But push him/her too far, and you'll ALL end up dead, Mecha-Cthulhu or not. Especially by Mass Effect 3 where s/he's tasked with creating alliances with many species that hate each other. S/he never stops kicking ass along the way. Lampshaded when Shepard asks Hackett why they've been chosen for this task, despite having no background in diplomacy or interest in politics, Hackett basically says that's why they are the perfect ambassador. Everyone knows that Shepard is a soldier first and fully prepared to fight alongside any forces they send into a warzone. In Mass Effect 2, Tali's loyalty mission has Shepard serve as her Badass Lawyer when she's put on trial for treason. After hearing the charges, Shepard demands that the trial be put on hold, so that they can retake the Alarei from the Geth occupying the vessel, to ensure the safety of the Quarian fleet and find evidence that will prove Tali's innocence. After retaking the ship, the Paragon and Renegade options give Shepard the option to provide no evidence, but instead browbeat the admirals into dropping all charges against Tali instead. Tali, if she survives the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2 and Rannoch in Mass Effect 3, becomes an ambassador for her people, while maintaining all of her badass cred. Extends explicitly into Mass Effect: Andromeda where the Pathfinder's job is to see to the safety of their crews, establish colony sites, and be the diplomatic representative of the Milky Way settlers in any negotiations with any local sentient life. Too bad the Kett haven't a whit of interest in diplomacy. |

Star Wars: The Old Republic The Jedi Consular is one of these, chosen because they'd already proven their badass cred by taking down 4 masters addled by a Dark Side plague and forcing a peace deal among the squabbling noble houses of Alderaan. Their companion Zenith is also one of these, Kicked Upstairs into a "envoy" position after a Republic-friendly government is installed. He eventually challenges this and ends up as Opposition Leader of the planet's government. Vector Hyllus, a companion of the Imperial Agent, was a member of the Imperial Diplomatic Service whose final assignment was an embassy to the Killik Hive Mind — to carry out his duties, he became a Joiner (joining said hive mind), which is probably what allows him to go toe-to-toe with the Jedi in close combat after he falls out with his nest and joins the Agent as a Covert Assault Agent. Ambassador Asara of the Esseles Flashpoint. Her work is going to Imperial-friendly or neutral worlds and convincing them the Republic has a better deal. Of course, the Imperials would like her dead and are willing to sacrifice a civilian passenger ship and everyone aboard to do it. Asara herself can be this and "Ass" in Ambassador, as her presence endangers the whole ship and she's willing to do some ruthless things to get the ship and herself to safety like suggesting a plan that would kill off everyone in the engine room. |

The Consul from the Champions supplement Kingdom of Champions. He is an 8 foot tall, super strong blue robot who was built by an alien race to serve as their ambassador. As Britain was the greatest empire on Earth at the time when the aliens discovered Earth, he dresses and talks like a Victorian English diplomat. He is also a member of Britain's premier superhero team. | |

Journey to Chaos: Ponix Enaz is Dnnac Ledo's ambassador. His job is diplomacy but he can also kick ass if negotiations go south. The chapter where he suits up is named after Clausewitz's "War is politics by other means" quote. | |

In Equestria: Across the Multiverse, Kimono is the official ambassador of the World of Empathy. She also decided to find a way to help the Alliance in conflict while still being an Actual Pacifist (like most of her universe). This results in her creating her world's Powered Armor suit, the Bard System, which serves as a Support Party Member for the Alliance's forces, having no offense but high defense and a massive number of support abilities to power up and help teammates. She also trains with the benevolent Storm Emperor #35 in purely defensive martial arts. She's constantly on the front lines during conflicts to help her friends and protected her world from a trio of murderous psychopaths, defeating them without ever throwing a punch. | |

Wonder Woman is technically an inverted example, as her Badass work as a superhero is her primary and her role as ambassador to "Man's World" secondary but (usually) still important. Volume 1: Count Dendum, Saturnian ambassador to the United States following the treaty between his Emperor and the USA, is a count from an empire where this title would have had to have been earned as an adult through fighting and never fully losing. Volume 2: During Greg Rucka's run Diana's position as an ambassador becomes far more prevalent and her entire schedule is structured around her ambassadorial work, which does nothing to slow down her heroics. |

Final Fantasy: In Final Fantasy XIV, the Warrior of Light serves as an envoy between the members of the Eorzean Alliance as well as to the nations outside of it throughout the story. In addition to trying for peace whenever possible, they are also the strongest warrior Eorzea has to offer. Arguably, the "Mediator" Job Class of Final Fantasy Tactics — their attacks consist of Talking the Monster to Death, and they are the only class (besides Chemists and special character Mustadio) who can wield guns. Granted, guns aren't the strongest weapons, but they're easily the most versatile, allowing the wielder to shoot anywhere in a large area around themselves. |

Alec has become this to the Downworlders of New York City in the Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy story "Born To Endless Night". He is the preferred go-to Shadowhunter for both Lily Chen of the vampires and Maia Roberts of the werewolves. Less combative than Jace and a lot less high-handed than Maryse, the Downworlders look to him for guidance in solving problems. But it is also understood that he will be no less decisive in dealing with problems that they let get out of control. | |

Ken Taylor, the Canadian ambassador to Iran during the revolution there, deserves mention here. When six Americans escaped as the Iranians stormed the American embassy in Tehran, he took them in and hid them in his residence for weeks while the Canadian government and the CIA figured out a way to get them home. Taylor also scouted landing sites for Operation Eagle Claw, the failed attempt to rescue the hostages. Although Taylor may not have been an action-hero warrior, the courage it took to do what he did definitely qualifies him as an Ambadassador, and his efforts were featured in the film Argo. | |

Ambassador Udina in No Gods, Only Guns, a Mass Effect and Borderlands Fusion Fic. In a setting where everyone needs to be a badass considering how crazy humanity is, he manages to stand out (unlike his canon version) by both having a robotic arm and an eyepatch. In his introduction to the story proper, he manages to singlehandedly disarm a badass bandit leader, uppercut him into the air, and blow him up midair with a single shot from a pistol. | |

In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, House Telvanni is a strongly feudal magocracy, and its mage-lords do not bother to gather themselves when they need to negotiate with each other (like the other Houses do). Instead, they send ambassadors called Mouths. If you join this house and advance to the rank of Master, you get yourself an Ambadassador who undertakes dangerous missions for you in addition to his usual work. | |

Alaric Morgan is one of these offscreen as Deryni Rising begins: The reason he's absent from that ill-fated hunting trip is that Wencit of Torenth has been trying to annex Cardosa, a key Gwyneddian city that guards a major pass through the Rheljan Mountains between Torenth and Gwynedd. King Brion tells his son Kelson that Wencit has already broken two treaties in his efforts to get the city, and "Morgan is keeping an eye on it." After Kelson summons Morgan back to the capital because of Brion's last order, Wencit takes advantage of his absence and the valley's uneven run-off patterns to take Cardosa before Kelson can send relief forces, and he's in residence there early in High Deryni. | |

Very occasionally used in Warhammer 40,000. A particularly egregious example is a Space Marine being used an ambassadorial representative to a Tau world, under the basis that his physical presence would intimidate the Xenos into reconsidering their expansion. Unfortunately, the Tau have Ambadassadors of their own and recognized what the marine was doing as a stalling tactic. On that note, the Tau Water Caste. In a universe with Everything Trying to Kill You, the very act of survival for a diplomat who is not a trained warrior (in contrast to the Imperium) would qualify them for this trope, but the Water Caste take it a step further. They've evolved to be highly receptive to behavioral nuances, so they can quickly talk down alien aggressors who haven't actually opened fire yet, even if they know only the most basic parts of the aliens' language. |

The Hero in the Quest for Glory series fills this role once or twice: In Quest for Glory III, the Fighter, Paladin and Magic User visits the Leopardmen to help negotiate the return of stolen relics that are one of the catalysts for the brewing war. In Quest for Glory V he must negotiate peace with the Tritons to put an end to their attacks on shipping around Silmaria. The Fighter basically beats them into submission, the Wizard can calm the hostile Tritons and proceed past them, while the Thief can even swim stealthily to sneak in and charm Queen Hippolyta. The Paladin has two options of his own based on the powers he's earned up to this point: Either using the Peace ability, which has a similar effect to the Calm spell, or Awe to send everything hostile running from his aura of sheer badassness. |

Hawke in Dragon Age II is forced to become one in Act II, being the only one in Kirkwall that the Arishok deems worthy enough to parley with. In Act III, they mention they've occasionally been called upon in their role as Champion to "rescue" visiting foreign heads of state from having to put up with Knight-Commander Meredith for too long. | |

Lone Wolf: Some of the eponymous character's adventures start out as outwardly "diplomatic missions", like the voyage to Vassagonia in Book 5, Shadow on the Sand. Of course, Lone Wolf being a real Doom Magnet, they always turn quickly to Aggressive Negotiations. | |

Extends explicitly into Mass Effect: Andromeda where the Pathfinder's job is to see to the safety of their crews, establish colony sites, and be the diplomatic representative of the Milky Way settlers in any negotiations with any local sentient life. Too bad the Kett haven't a whit of interest in diplomacy. | |

Jackie in First Salik War not only represents all Terran humans to galactic civilization, she's also a former soldier and psychic with some of the most powerful telekinetic abilities ever recorded in a human. In fact she introduces humanity to the rest of the sentient galaxy by way of a Rescue Introduction where she kicks serious ass. | |

Most of the regular cast in Babylon 5 who are not station personnel (it is a diplomatic station, after all). Notably Delenn, G'Kar, Londo and their respective seconds-in-command, Kosh, the Rangers... the list goes on. According to Londo, being a badass is a requirement to become an ambassador for the Centauri Republic. Note that the guy on the knees at the end of the scene is a Proud Warrior Race Guy... |

In Infinity, when the Morat were told to have a diplomatic corps, they made it a detachment of their army. Mostly, they deliver their diplomacy at high speeds, from a gun barrel. | |

Quercus Alba of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, an ambassador who previously served his country in war, even if he's past his prime. While certainly putting the "Ass" in Ambassador, he manages to kill a man half his age in a fight while barely getting scratched when said man came at him with a knife longer than Alba's. Also, being able to fend off Edgeworth's arguments for so long and having his own Objection! clip despite not being a practitioner of law has to count for something, right? | |
