Chekhov M.I.A.	comment	In any sufficiently long-running series, if a main character's backstory includes a friend, relative, or beloved who is absent but not dead, that person will eventually show up. Often in the Pilot of a series, the writers establish characters and their relationships to others and will mention how a certain friend or loved one disappeared without a trace. Because of the Law of Conservation of Detail , this becomes a form of foreshadowing that works better than an Ass Pull when the writers run out of ideas for new events; they can return the relative, often through some form of Applied Phlebotinum, or else He's Just Hiding. The characters will almost Never Say "Die" when it concerns their lost loved ones; they're simply Missing-In-Action due to the "mysterious circumstances" that took them away. An uncommon variant has an established character saying that the MIA character IS dead, but the MIA character later shows up, with the established character's explanation being something along the lines of "he was/is dead to me", or else otherwise skewed by the character's viewpoint. May be related to Never Found the Body as someone believed to be dead without proof may show up later. This trope can be considered an extreme version of The Bus Came Back, since this character tends to disappear before the series began, rather than in the middle of the series. If the character mentioned as missing is found through either Internal Reveal or an In-Universe discovery but chooses to remain "missing," that's a Refused Reunion. If the character mentioned early as missing actually is dead, and stays that way, then that's a Posthumous Character. In some cases, Death Is Cheap is to be blamed for this. Similar to Chekhov's Gunman, where a person mentioned who doesn't seem that important turns out to be very important.

Her body is found in the first episode...except it's eventually revealed that it's not her body. After a number of times where she's glimpsed, or where characters have conversations with her that may or may not be real, she's finally 100% confirmed as still alive in Season 4.

At the end of the episode, it is discovered that Jimmy is the wild gorilla supposedly terrorizing Langtree's school. He intended to join the circus dressing up as a gorilla to save up for an engagement ring for Langtree. The costume got stuck on him, so he tried to get people around the school to help him but everyone was too scared because they thought he was a real gorilla.

The initial main questline involves following the trail she left while exploring Appalachia, and finally learning that she left the region to go elsewhere. In the Wastelanders expansion, she returns and becomes a major quest giver. This is related to how the game was intially designed with no living human NPCs, but later expansions abandoned this idea.

Chekhov M.I.A. / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Technically, you DO have control of Tamlen in the Dalish Elf origin of Dragon Age: Origins for about thirty seconds. And then he vanishes and Duncan tells you there is no point looking for him. The phrasing he used was rather tricky, though, as he said Tamlen was gone and nothing could be done for him after three days of darkspawn taint. Not that he was dead. So when your camp comes under darkspawn attack, as a Dalish Elf you will see him again as he begs for death. Oghren's wife, Paragon Branka, went missing several years before Origins and then went completely insane. Among other things. Wynne mentions to Alistair in Origins that she gave birth to a son many years ago, but the Chantry took him away from her (as they do all children born to Circle mages). He later shows up as the protagonist of Asunder.

His absent mother is then revealed to have been murdered, but still later it turns out she was alive long enough for a third Summers brother to come into the world. Oh, and ca. Uncanny X-Men #170 readers learn that Scott's paternal grandparents are also still very much alive. Nightcrawler had been told that he had been found as a baby next to his dying father (or mother, there were conflicting accounts). It eventually turns out that he is the son of Mystique and Azazel (although Chris Claremont had wanted him to be the son of Mystique and Destiny earlier). Rogue had run away from her birth family to become the adopted daughter of Mystique and Destiny. The story of her biological parents was eventually told in Rogue vol. 3 #1-5.

One running theory is that she's really Spitfire I, who was believed killed by the Winter Soldier - which still leaves the open question of who she is. She finally pops up in The Phoenix and the Serpent, and reveals that she was actually active well into the 20th century (at least into the 1920s, going by her time as a private detective in Melbourne), just keeping a rather lower profile for somewhat vague time-related reasons, before winding up on Sakaar. How that happened, why that happened, and who she really is are still mysteries - especially since she reveals a degree of nanotech-based Voluntary Shapeshifting.

Chekhov M.I.A. / int_2ffcbd43	comment	Fire Emblem runs on this trope. Any relative of a character, no matter how briefly mentioned, will appear eventually. From the Tellius games: Sanaki's thought-to-be-dead older sister? It's actually Micaiah. Lady Almedha's real son? That would be Soren. Also we have Lord Renning, the missing uncle of Elincia who was turned into Bertram of the Four Riders by Izuka. When Blazing Blade came out as a Prequel to Binding Blade, the parents and siblings of many of the former game's characters, or even some of the elder ones themselves, became playable characters —but probably the most notable one, because they were actually mentioned in the earlier game, though not by name, were Canas (the son of one Binding Blade character from Niime, and the father of another, Hugh), Rath (likewise both the son and the father of a Binding Blade character), and most of all Karla, whose husband, brother and daughter all appear as playable characters in Binding Blade (the former two are also in Blazing Blade). The fact that Karla shows up so late in the game, and only in Hector's Story, makes this almost an Easter Egg of an appearance. And, of course, just about anyone mentioned in a conversation in the prequel is a character in the sequel (e.g. Hawkeye's daughter, Geitz's brother, etc.) And sometimes they'll just tie characters together by blood just for the hell of it, which leads to some theories....

It's mentioned that all they ever found was a finger. Pettigrew is an Animagus who has been disguised as Ron's pet rat for thirteen years. What's more, he was the one who betrayed Harry's parents. Dumbledore's younger brother Aberforth is mentioned a couple of times, and the seventh book delves into the troubled history between them. It turns out he's the bartender of the Hog's Head, allowing Harry and friends safe passage into the school. Before Harry even meets Dumbledore, he learns that he defeated a dark wizard named Grindelwald in 1945. Grindelwald isn’t mentioned again until the last book but turns out to have been "friends" with Dumbledore when they were teenagers. He finally shows up in the present at about the 2/3 mark when Voldemort goes to talk to him about the Elder Wand.

It later turns out that she's actually Astronema, the season's Big Bad. Because of this, many Power Rangers RPM fans correctly predicted that the girl Dillon was searching for would turn out to be Tenaya 7, mirroring the in Space plot almost exactly. Then there's Mystic Force, where Nick's search for his biological parents, and Udonna's later search for her lost son Bowen reveal that Nick is Bowen, and Leanbow, his father, is Koragg. Don't forget Aisynia Cruger, Doggie's wife, from SPD; as well as the A-Squad. SPD abused this trope.

In the first episode, the Winchester brothers team up to find their missing father, with each episode taking them closer to their goal. Their mother, who actually is dead, still manages to appear in seasons 1, 4, and 5, in the first as a ghost and in the latter two via time travel. Also in various dreams and hallucinations, more often than the dad they actually grew up with, but those don't count. Their half-brother, Adam, turns out to have been dead since before they met him. Or even knew about him. He still has a pivotal role in season five. Their dead maternal grandfather is a major character in season six. This family does not stay dead.

The sneakiest one is where Shadow admits to killing a Jedi Master, but has no idea what became of the Padawan.

Haley's father Ian, who was being held ransom. Though she'd been looking for him ever since they arrived on the Western Continent, he turns up quite unexpectedly.

Hilgya Firehelm, cleric of Loki, shows up as a member of the original Linear Guild. After the climactic battle, she helps save Durkon and journeys with him for a time before leaving in tears, though not before the pair spend the night together.

However, there are is at least one case of a genuine MIA who end up making a reappearance later; Randall-037 was mentioned in the early novels as being one of the few genuinely MIA Spartans, but Halo: Nightfall later revealed that he did survive the Human-Covenant War. As revealed in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Dr. Halsey, who was in charge of the SPARTAN-II program, makes it a point of keeping track of which ones are actually dead and which ones were M.I.A. in circumstances that actually suggest their possible survival. This is how she recognizes Kurt-051 even through his reflective faceplate.

White Diamond is the closest thing the show has to a Big Bad, and Pink Diamond was the former ruler of Earth as a gem colony.

Chekhov M.I.A. / int_78e27fa7	comment	When Blazing Blade came out as a Prequel to Binding Blade, the parents and siblings of many of the former game's characters, or even some of the elder ones themselves, became playable characters —but probably the most notable one, because they were actually mentioned in the earlier game, though not by name, were Canas (the son of one Binding Blade character from Niime, and the father of another, Hugh), Rath (likewise both the son and the father of a Binding Blade character), and most of all Karla, whose husband, brother and daughter all appear as playable characters in Binding Blade (the former two are also in Blazing Blade). The fact that Karla shows up so late in the game, and only in Hector's Story, makes this almost an Easter Egg of an appearance. And, of course, just about anyone mentioned in a conversation in the prequel is a character in the sequel (e.g. Hawkeye's daughter, Geitz's brother, etc.) And sometimes they'll just tie characters together by blood just for the hell of it, which leads to some theories....

Unlike a lot of Chekov MIA's, this one actually is a surprise, since you're reasonably sure that the fourth character you named at the beginning of the game is still alive (if you even remember him), but the fact that he's The Dragon comes with almost no hints or clues whatsoever. It's a good deal more obvious in the GBA version (and presumably other ports) where the Black Knight's character portrait is pretty clearly Leon's, just hidden in shadow.

In A Game of Thrones, he's forced into retirement when Cersei and Joffrey take the throne but refuses to give up, saying he'll be in the service of the true king. In the second book, all the candidates for the Iron Throne are making much ado about his comments, wondering why he hasn't shown up anywhere. In the third book, it turns out they had the wrong continent — he went to go serve Daenerys. A Dance with Dragons gives us Aegon Targaryen, who instead of being dead was Switched at Birth with some other unfortunate infant and has been receiving education intended to make him an effective ruler since he was old enough to understand it; he is being raised by Jon Connington, another character who until the events of ADWD has been thought dead. Fans are also already speculating that "Septa" Lemore is Ashara Dayne, another background character who is supposedly dead. It's worth noting that Connington refers to her as "Lady Lemore" in his internal monologue. This may just be an inversion, as he was fully described as dead in all previous books, and all descriptions of his brutal murder make him just being "missing" with a surprise body swap come as a bit of an Ass Pull. However, popular theory is that based upon clues in the text, he really is dead and the teenaged boy claiming his name is just an unwitting imposter manipulated by Illyrio and Varys ("The Mummer's Dragon"). Rickon Stark has minimal impact and is rarely mentioned by anyone other than Bran while he's still actually present. He's last seen at the end of the second book, and nothing more than a passing mention is made of him again until a single instance in the fifth book, where he is set to become the key in overthrowing the Boltons' hold on the north, since their rule depends on Ramsay's marriage to 'Arya' (see below), and as Ned Stark's son Rickon comes before her in the succession. In the first book Sansa's best friend Jeyne Poole is "taken care of" by Petyr Baelish. You assume the poor girl is going to end up a reluctant whore in some brothel, never to be heard from again. Then she suddenly shows up again in ADWD as Fake Arya and is married off to Ramsay Bolton to strengthen his hold on the north. Theon's sinister uncle Euron is mentioned offhandedly throughout A Clash of Kings as exiled from the Iron Islands. His return a book later proves to have significant consequences. In A Game of Thrones, Stannis Baratheon is only mentioned as having retreated to Dragonstone for unclear purposes, although Ned suspects that he might have known the secret that Jon Arryn was supposedly assassinated for and fled to avoid being killed too, while Varys fears that he is building an army. Sure enough, he shows up in the next book as one of the titular Five Kings and becomes a major non-POV character in the series. Brynden Rivers, the Targaryen bastard son of Aegon IV who proved to be a Hypercompetent Sidekick to the family, crusading against threats from the Blackfyres, was reported missing after conducting a ranging more than forty years ago. Then he shows up to Bran, Jojen, Meera, and Hodor in A Dance with Dragons as a Greenseer, having formed a relationship with the thought-to-be-extinct Children of the Forest as the Three-Eyed Crow. Zigzagged with the Starks' uncle Benjen, who disappears while ranging beyond the Wall in A Game of Thrones. In A Storm of Swords, a mysterious, silent character called Coldhands saves Sam and Gilly and escort them to the south of the Wall, then takes Bran and co. to the last greenseer in A Dance With Dragons. Coldhands is said to wear Night's Watch clothing and gives an aura of a White Walker but is not one himself. Naturally, fans theorized that he is secretly Benjen, but the notoriously teasing G. R. R. Martin actually felt the need to joss it out, so they're probably not. This didn't prevent fans from insisting that Benjen will play a role down the line. Since the series isn't finished yet, several characters who have been mentioned but haven't appeared yet - such as Howland Reed and Gerion Lannister - often feature heavily in fan theories for the upcoming books, so they may well become examples (or aversions) later.

One of the original "Romance Dawn" one-shots features Luffy's grandpa, who goes unmentioned for much of the proper One Piece manga until he eventually appears as Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp. Another example could be the Rumbar Pirates, who are missing and presumed dead when the Straw Hats enter the Grand Line. The crew eventually encounters a survivor, Brook, who becomes their ninth crew member. Used more strongly later on when Luffy's childhood friend "Sabo", presumed dead, turns up again; they Never Found the Body and it was hinted that he was alive in said flashback.

However, for a long time, he only appears in flashbacks while faceless and it's never mentioned what became of him after his run at Nationals. He finally makes a proper appearance during the Nationals arc when he goes to watch Karasuno play there once more. The Little Giant —or Udai Tenma— meets Hinata, sticks by Akiteru and Saeko during the quarterfinal against Kamomedai, and gives some insight on the matchup of the two new little giants (Hinata and Kourai).

Upon bringing it to her homeroom teacher, he informs her that the student in question hasn't attended for quite a while and is considered to be missing. He's the subject of the secret route. Turns out he was missing because the school doctor was experimenting on him, and he only escapes in his own route. Another example is the case of the blacked-out photograph in Kazuaki's route. Kazuaki tells the protagonist that the subject of the photograph is someone he loved dearly, but who he lost. This character has been there the entire time. He's Nageki, the bird you meet in the library. Kazuaki's right to say that he's dead, but in this series, that doesn't mean someone can't still interact with the plot.

Coldhands is said to wear Night's Watch clothing and gives an aura of a White Walker but is not one himself. Naturally, fans theorized that he is secretly Benjen, but the notoriously teasing G. R. R. Martin actually felt the need to joss it out, so they're probably not. This didn't prevent fans from insisting that Benjen will play a role down the line.

Maugan Ra was the last survivor of the doomed world-ship, which was dragged into the Eye of Terror millennia ago by treacherous warp-currents, and for just over a decade (real-world time!) that was all anyone knew about the place. In the Eye of Terror campaign and accompanying rulebook of 2003, Maugan Ra returned to the Eye with the express aim of rescuing Altansar and its inhabitants from their unpleasant sojourn. He succeeded, after a fashion, and the Craftworld's livery and background appeared in the 2006 Eldar codex. Unfortunately their period trapped in the warp has turned the Eldar of Altansar into otherworldly wraith-like creatures, but they are now officially at large in the universe once more.

Season 1 gave the audience glimpse of her parents and two sisters through a flashback, but when an episode about one of her family members happens in Season 4, it's instead a completely new sibling named Maud Pie. They have since played it straight with Rainbow Dash's parents' being revealed. Turns out we never saw them for the first seven series because Rainbow Dash was embarrassed by their constant, over the top encouragement to the point of being rude to other parents. Scootaloo makes her see this is unfair and she would've LOVED to have people who care enough about her to encourage her all the time. Scootaloo's family was not mentioned until the final season, in which her parents were depicted as living far enough away from Ponyville to prevent them regularly visiting her. The parents of the Apple family ARE dead, so this isn't played straight exactly, but we did get an entire episode flashback of their kids learning about how they met.

And finally, the Doctor saves them in "The Day of the Doctor". "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances": Creepy Child Jamie is constantly asking, "Are you my mummy?" His mother, as it turns out, is Nancy, his alleged "older sister", who he's chasing and who has been present for the entire story. Amy Pond's first episode reveals that she doesn't have any parents. The reason why and their eventual return make up a big part of the climax of her first season's storyline. Downplayed with Bill Potts' mother, who died before the character was introduced. While the mother herself never returned, the Doctor altered history so that Bill could suddenly find a trove of photographs of her; previously she had absolutely nothing by which to remember her mother. "Orphan 55": Bella tells Ryan that her mother died when she was 10. It turns out that this is a lie: her mother is in fact resort owner Kane, and Bella's come to Tranquillity Spa to destroy it in revenge for Kane abandoning the family.

The mysterious Lady Knight, an unwilling time traveller and immortal who vanished in the 17th century. One running theory is that she's really Spitfire I, who was believed killed by the Winter Soldier - which still leaves the open question of who she is. She finally pops up in The Phoenix and the Serpent, and reveals that she was actually active well into the 20th century (at least into the 1920s, going by her time as a private detective in Melbourne), just keeping a rather lower profile for somewhat vague time-related reasons, before winding up on Sakaar. How that happened, why that happened, and who she really is are still mysteries - especially since she reveals a degree of nanotech-based Voluntary Shapeshifting. Peggy Carter vanished in 1962, and there's a good deal of In-Universe speculation as to who or what got her - with a sidenote of speculation of whether she was 'got' at all. It's implied that the First Class of X-Men and Alison (and Doctor Strange, naturally) know what happened, but that they're all keeping their mouths shut - though Strange hints that it's "wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey."

Turns out, he ended up becoming the Byakko Inves after being compelled to eat one of Helheim's fruits, leading to Kouta unknowingly killing him at the end of the very first episode. Though this trope is played with in the sense that while he does disappear and later returns with a major impact on the plot, he only reappears in flashbacks thanks to him dying after going missing.

In the last case of the third game, Misty Fey shows up under a fake name so as to not alert anyone to her true identity and shortly thereafter becomes the murder victim. The best way to be missing in action and assumed dead is to be executed, right? Dahlia Hawthorne disagrees. Inverted in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, where it's established in the fourth case that Thalassa Gramarye was accidentally shot dead at a rehearsal. Just kidding. A witness from the third case, Lamiroir, turns out to have been her under an assumed name. (Granted, she had lost her eyesight and memory).

Fans are also already speculating that "Septa" Lemore is Ashara Dayne, another background character who is supposedly dead. It's worth noting that Connington refers to her as "Lady Lemore" in his internal monologue. This may just be an inversion, as he was fully described as dead in all previous books, and all descriptions of his brutal murder make him just being "missing" with a surprise body swap come as a bit of an Ass Pull. However, popular theory is that based upon clues in the text, he really is dead and the teenaged boy claiming his name is just an unwitting imposter manipulated by Illyrio and Varys ("The Mummer's Dragon").
