Klingon Promotion	comment	In an organization with a ranked hierarchal structure, you can get a promotion by showing aptitude for the work, impressing senior ranked individuals, fulfilling certain criteria, having a place open up due to retirement, resignation or death, and probably kissing a lot of ass. Or you can kill them and take their job. This is about the latter, not the former. This is a sister trope to You Kill It, You Bought It. However, in that one, you kill someone, purposefully or accidentally, and gain something of theirs (whether you want it or not). That could be a physical object or something more metaphysical, like a role in life or a curse, and you donâ€™t need to have a system that puts the character in a position to get the job. This requirement of a rank to get into for a Klingon Promotion means it will show up in connection to different sorts of organisations. For instance, the Klingon Promotion will turn up in organisations that favour ruthlessness and the heavy dominance of a leader. Hence the trope name referring to the Klingons of Star Trek, who are often portrayed as accepting assassination of a superior (with varying justification) as a legitimate option for career advancement. Youâ€™ll get it in royal or noble lines of succession where individuals can obsess over the fact that if only 72 people would die in a very short period, they could become King. A common Sub-Trope is Challenging the Chief, where the role of boss goes to whoever's the biggest badass, who can kill or defeat any other badass in ritual combat. Perhaps the focus will be on a character who uses this method often to get ahead in the world. They could easily then be The Starscream, and if we get the chance to follow them going through several stations in life, advancing themselves with cunning, guile, and possibly the odd bottle of arsenic, we might get to see them as a Manipulative Bastard and maybe a magnificent one. This trope tends to enforce its Super-Trope: Superior Successor. Asskicking Leads to Leadership is when you get a society that works based on this trope. The Evil Prince tends to see the world this way, due to his position. Occasionally, a superior can forestall it with Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand. May result in You Are in Command Now if the replacement is lacking in qualifications for the position they gain and/or pulls off a Klingon Promotion by accident. In practical use, this is a dangerous gamble on the part of the killer, since if he kills a superior who has popular support, he will most likely be killed very quickly himself before he gets an opportunity to enjoy his new power. Also, most don't take well to an unproven upstart killing a superior who has experience and the wisdom to rule effectively, especially when it threatens the status quo. However, no one will mind the killing of an officer who has failed too many times, as long as the killer knows what he is getting himself into now and everything that goes with it. Most of the time, an individual who decides on Klingon Promotion probably does so with the backing of parties sponsoring his actions, thus protecting him from retaliation (leverage). And even then, there still might not be anything to protect them from certain avengers for whom It's Personal. This is similar to how most real-life politicians rely on the support of others to get them in a position of power and keep them there. Fictional societies that function on this rule often display its downsides. When leadership is predicated solely on being quicker on the draw than the opponent, there is no guarantee that any leader is at all qualified for the position they want, resulting in repeated misrule. Long-term planning is next to impossible since leadership changes hands often and violently, leading to stagnation. Nobody can count on anyone else not to betray them on a whim, which tends to make morale drop to rock bottom. Worst of all, no leader is likely to have the time, ability, or even motivation to improve the situation, since they are too busy fending off usurpers. Woe betide the organization when more than one candidate attempts a power play at once: the organization will likely tear itself apart before one of the usurpers comes out on top. This is a common cause of collapse for evil organizations. Expect a moral about trust and comradery to come from heroes who encounter these situations. If someone did it by killing the former leader stealthily and impersonating them, that is Kill and Replace.

Klingon Promotion / int_1858fe06	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Lien-Da and Kragok murdered their father Luger in order to become Grandmasters of the Dark Legion. Of course, Kragok ended up double-crossing his sister and taking leadership for himself. Chronic Backstabbing Disorder must run in the family â€” quite some time later, after Eggman's reorganized the Legion into his Dark Egg Legion with Lien-Da's ancestor Dimitri as Grandmaster, she eventually double-crosses him too and leaves him for dead so that she can become Grandmaster again. And Dr. Robotnik, before he became the Big Bad, was the head of the Kingdom of Acorn's military â€” a job he got by throwing the previous holder of the title into the Zone of Silence (not murder, but close enough). And when he took over the Kingdom, he jump-started his coup by doing the same to the King. There's also Robotnik's nephew, Snively, who got tired of being humiliated and set things up to kill Robotnik. Snively barely had time to actively run Robotropolis after Robotnik was killed when the Freedom Fighters confronted and defeated him, taking back their city for good.

Meanwhile, DarkKnightmon, after gaining the X-Antibody, wants to become one of the Seven Great Demon Lords himself. Since all seven have already been identified, he can't exactly lay claim to the title any other way unless one of those seven is out of the way. (The fact DarkKnightmon is hopelessly outclassed even by the weakest of them apparently is not a deterrent to his ambitions.)

Klingon Promotion / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: The Shi'ar Imperium apparently have this written into their laws, as the Earth-born mutant Vulcan is able to claim the title of majestor from D'Ken by killing him after (and we're talking right after) marrying into the Shi'ar royal family. Presumably this only applies within the royal family itself and the Shi'ar don't crown any old assassin that comes along. Fabian Cortez of Magneto's Acolytes is a big fan of this tactic. His very first story sees him attempt to kill Magneto in a bid to replace him as mutantkind's preeminent revolutionary leader, and later after he finds his attempt was unsuccessful (and Magneto comes back) Cortez flees to Genosha, where he kills off the island's current president and appoints himself the new leader of Genosha (which lasts for about five seconds or so before the X-Men, The Avengers, and Exodus all converge on Genosha to kick his teeth in).

R.L. and Mangle are seriously injured and, because she was the "last man standing" (as it were), she is promoted to CEO of Herd Thinners. And later on, R.L. reveals he let her keep the position uncontested to make repairs to the company while he recovered from his injuries, then promptly fires her with his connections to the board of directors and shareholders. Many of Kell's supporters quit on the spot with no regards to their hard-earned positions, and would go on to work at Kell's new company. Played straight earlier, during the prehistoric arc. Shortly after their arrival in the stone age, Kell kills a tyrannosaur who turns out to be the original CEO of Herd Thinners, and quickly settles behind his stone "desk".

Though it turns out Master C isn't quite dead. Of course, it's possible he covered up that he'd been the one to do the shooting rather than owning up to the murder and Master C let him get away with it because he thought it was funny. Probably not, though; it's not like the most deadly assassins in the world are going to believe one of their number went down to a stray bullet.

No different from any other culture perhaps, except that it's oft-cited conventional wisdom and the word of their goddess Lloth. This doesn't apply only to individuals, but to whole noble clans as well. If one noble family becomes extinct, every lower-ranking clan moves up in the hierarchy. The twist, however, is that any noble who survives can report the murders. Which usually leads to every other noble clan teaming up against the offenders to punish their "crimes" (and protect their own skins). As a result, attacks on the castles of noble families rarely leave any survivors. But drow are opportunistic bastards, so in the days and weeks following the "mysterious disappearance" of an entire clan, there are frequently some Cousin Olivers appearing in "random" other families. The drow princess Liriel Baenre discusses this system (and drow society in general) with a couple of curious surface dwellers in the novel Windwalker. She uses the example of a renowned master swordsmith and an up-and-coming rival, and notes that there are two accepted ways for the younger smith to get the older one's position — he can genuinely dedicate himself to becoming more skilled (which usually takes years of effort, planning, and more than a little magic) or he can kill the other smith (which also usually takes years of effort, planning, and more than a little magic). Liriel notes that although the stereotypical image of drow is that they would prefer the second way, in actual practice that's not always the case. Devils are often promoted this way in the armies of Hell; most sources state that all of them are either Starscreams or potential ones, and their leaders encourage it. (In fact, the original ruler of Stygia, Geryon, was stripped of his position because he showed loyalty to the Overlord of Hell, something that has no place in this society. Of course, what did you expect from Hell?) 1st edition AD&D Player's handbook In order for a 13th or 14th level Assassin to advance to the next higher level, they had to kill the Assassin character of that level. At any given time there are only 9 12th level druids, three Archdruids (13th level), and one Great Druid (14th level). In order to advance to that level, a druid has to face one of the druids (or the druid) of that level in combat. If the loser survives the combat, they lose one level of experience. There are only three monks of the 8th level and only one monk of level 9-17 at one time. In order to advance to those levels, a monk had to defeat the monk (or one of the monks) of that level in hand to hand combat. If the loser survives, they lose a level of experience.

Klingon Promotion / int_7dc73376	comment	Ironically, again according to the Legends, both Sidious and Vader would try to violate the rule themselves â€” Vader by explicitly taking a secret apprentice in The Force Unleashed, then Sidious by intending to cast even Luke aside and rule alone, immortal and eternally. And Darth Plagueis reveals that Sidious had taken Darth Maul as his apprentice and trained him for years before actually ascending to the rank of master himself. He then corrected the violation of the Rule of Two by murdering Plagueis. (The other Force-sensitive agents they use don't count, as they aren't trained in Sith tradition, and some may not even have been aware of it.) The Sith who formalized the Rule of Two also anticipated this, and fully expected it to be self-correcting. When a second apprentice gets brought into the mix, normally either the current apprentice is about to kill his master, or the current master is about to dispose of the current apprentice in favor of a more useful one. Or, if the second apprentice is unworthy, he gets to be the one discarded. In all those scenarios, the Rule of Two is restored. Indeed, at the end of his reign as Sith Lord, Darth Bane and his apprentice Darth Zannah each had picked a new apprentice of their own. Bane was worried that Zannah was going soft because she hadn't tried to kill him and thus decided to replace her, while Zannah had chosen that exact moment to overthrow Bane. Ultimately, Zannah killed Bane and took Bane's would-be second apprentice as her own. Bane and Zannah both tried to lure the apprentice to their side, but Darth Cognus declared that if either of them needed her help to win then they were not worthy of being her master.

However, ascension by assassination still required the approval of the Moot. Later on there was a period where naval admirals would kill the current Emperor and take the title themselves. They were called the "Emperors of the Flag" but did not have the Moot's approval. In 2nd Edition MegaTraveller, Archduke Dulinor assassinated Emperor Strephon and tried to take his place, but failed.

Klingon Promotion / int_8ac4e993	comment	Gundam: In the original Mobile Suit Gundam, the Zabi Family mostly use this tactic to get ahead. Zabi patriarch Degwin becomes the leader of Zeon in the first place by having Zeon Zum Deikun assassinated (or getting really lucky; it's never proven that Degwin ordered the assassination, or for that matter that he even was assassinated in the first place given that he had pre-existing health conditions that could have caused his fatal collapse, but several characters believe it to be fact, including Deikun's son Casval aka Char who uses it as justification for his Roaring Rampage of Revenge) and then claiming Deikun's last words on his deathbed were to appoint him his successor. Then, late in the series, Degwin gets a taste of his own medicine when Gihren uses the Solar Ray to kill him before he can sue for peace, thus becoming Zeon's new leader by inheritance. Gihren's victory is much shorter-lived than his father's, though, as his sister Kycilia in turn confronts him with his crime before shooting him dead on the bridge in full view of all the ship's crew. She then succeeds Gihren as Zeon's leader before meeting her end in the Battle of A Boa Qu. Played with in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, where the Big Bad Duumvirate of Jamitov Hymen and Bosque Ohm are killed off by Paptimus Scirocco late in the series, securing Scirocco's role as Big Bad just in time for the final battle. In Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, this becomes Neo-Zeon Super-Soldier Gyunei Guss's goal after meeting Quess Paraya and more or less losing his mind.

When Captain Dorg reveals that he's been providing Pakleds with Klingon weapons and sending them off to fight Klingon battles in secret, Ma'at points out that this is a massively dishonorable act that will eventually backfire and weaken the Empire further (Klingons always fight their own battles). Ma'at then uses his position as second-in-command to obtain a Klingon Promotion, taking charge and preventing further subterfuge that could destroy relations with the Federation.

Klingon Promotion / int_90e2f673	comment	BattleTech: The Clans practice a weirdly sanctioned form of this trope. If a Clan warrior believes their superior is incompetent, as a warrior they have a right to challenge the suitability of their commanding officer's qualifications to command. This usually comes in the form of Trial by Combat, and while death in trial is not the goal, it's also not uncommon, either, since losing such a trial is usually a career-killer regardless of whether you're the challenger or challenged. The catch is, though, that merely defeating or killing a superior officer is not enough; the officer above them must approve of the subsequent promotion, though seeing as how Asskicking Leads to Leadership among the Clans, an officer losing to their subordinate is usually evidence enough that they were not worthy of commanding that subordinate. Also, as they detest subterfuge due to Honor Before Reason, Clan warriors will not simply backstab or assassinate a superior officer in a clandestine manner to advance themselves as a general rule, and those who do are considered dangerous aberrations by the rest of Clan society, often hunted down as no better than bandits and pirates. Klingon Promotions in Clan society are done above board, thank you very much. It's also important to note that challenging someone's leadership in Clan society doesn't have to be because you want the position. It's possible that you can challenge a leader because they're terrible in that position, and you want them out of it. If you win, you can then take the position yourself, or let someone else take it. A Trial By Combat is specifically about removing the leader in question, not strictly about taking their place. That said, Alaric Ward pulled this off to the letter against his commanding officer, Seth Ward. While Alaric was being lectured about his failure on the battlefield, an assassin attacked him with a poisoned knife. Alaric killed the assassin, but then grabbed his knife and used it to murder Seth, claiming the assassin had killed him and stepping into his now-vacant position. It's never been conclusively proven, but something like this is very heavily implied to be the reason that the second commander of Wilson's Hussars, Michael Langstrom, died suddenly in battle after his continued incompetence, blatant cowardice, and endless blame-shifting led to the destruction of most of the unit. In response, it's widely believed that his own executive officer, David Wilson, blasted The Neidermeyer in the back to spare the remnants of the unit from his disastrous bungling and let them escape with their lives. To no one's surprise, the surviving Hussars have stated that even if Wilson ever publicly admitted to killing Langstrom himself, none of them would ever testify to such before a tribunal—they hated Langstrom that much.

Played with in that he didn't kill his father for that purpose but was quite happy to take advantage of this trope afterwards. Further played with in that none of the nobility and fellow royal family members recognized his authority until he used his Geass powers to force them to accept his rule. This is despite the fact that Charles himself became the 98th Holy Britannian Emperor in the exact same manner. Earlier, this is attempted by Kewell Soresi. After the Orange Incident, he thinks Jeremiah Gottwald is no longer fit to lead the Purebloods, so he lures him into a trap and tries to assassinate him.

Klingon Promotion / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Ork hierarchy tends to work this way: if you succeed in killing the previous Warboss, the former officeholder clearly didn't deserve the job. This trope is so important to the orks that it's part of their actual biology. An ork that does well in fighting will naturally grow in size, allowing him to boss around smaller orks and challenge orks at his own size. Winning makes him even bigger and lets him boss around orks at his former size, and losing (even if it doesn't kill him) will make his rival bigger and capable of bossing him around; either way the hierarchy is preserved. It should be mentioned that, to orks, the notion of a smaller ork challenging — to say nothing of defeating — a bigger ork in a scrap for leadership is literally inconceivable (i.e. not only physically impossible but something an ork is incapable of thinking about), which explains why it's never happened. The Dark Eldar are a particularly stellar example as literally the only method of advancement within the Kabals (the paramilitary organizations that most Dark Eldar belong to) is to kill the person holding the desired title. Orks may simply intimidate other Orks into servitude with their superior size and bash the skulls of anyone who disagrees, but this trope is so fundamental to Dark Eldar society that Archons (Kabal leaders) have to hire strictly neutral Incubus bodyguards from outside their Kabal because none of their subordinates are trustworthy. Not surprisingly, Asdrubael Vect, the leader of the most powerful Kabal and de facto overlord of the Dark Eldar, encourages this sort of behaviour to maintain his position, although it is also implied in the Path of the Dark Eldar novels that he prevents the backstabbing from totally destabilizing Dark Eldar society. Furthermore, all backstabbing is on hold whenever a group of Dark Eldar is on a realspace raid for slaves— but as soon as everyone is safely back in Commoragh, everyone is fair game again. Chaos factions of all kinds, as well as some of the more psychotic Imperial Space Marine chapters, have this trope as well. The Horus Heresy short story Inheritor reveals that this is how the titular character, Eliphas (the Chaos hero unit from Dawn of War: Dark Crusade), earned his epithet: he killed his Chapter Master during the Word Bearers' purge and took command of his Chapter. Lorgar said that Eliphas hadn't earned his new position, he had merely "inherited" it. This is both averted and played straight with the Moritat. The Moritat are a death cult, but it's considered taboo to kill a fellow Moritat unless you have a damn good reason. The singular exception is the leader of the cult, the High Reaper. She will take one apprentice and groom him/her as her replacement. How does (s)he gain the rank? Take a guess.

There's probably not a single Skaven who is not planning to off his superior/tormentor/brother. Higher up in the ranks you have to get creative, as demonstrated when Grey Seer Thanquol of Gotrek and Felix fame offed his competitor for the position of army general with an accident involving a loaded crossbow and an exploding donkey. Pretty much the way the Greenskin army hierarchy works — if you want to be the Warlord, you need to kill the old Warlord. Ogres follow a similar style of leadership, with the added expectation that the winner eats the loser alive to cement his claim. Attempted by Malekith, would-be third Phoenix King of the High Elves, when he poisoned his predecessor and killed the council of princes that selected the king. Long story short it didn't work, which is why Malekith has since been the exiled Witch King of the Dark Elves on another continent. The Dark Elves, incidentally, also use this trope heavily, all the way up to Malekith who has kept his position of head honcho for millennia by being tougher, meaner and more vicious than his entire kingdom. Malekith also serves as something as a control mechanism on this trope: anyone who wants to try getting a promotion needs Malekith's approval first, or they'll find themselves deposed no sooner than their superior lies dead.

The Beast Wars Megatron even points out after an attempted assassination by Tarantulas that he's ok with treachery. It's incompetence he hates. When Rhinox is infected with a virus that turns him into a Predacon, he immediately starts plotting against Megatron... and nearly succeeds. Rhinox is really smart. Trying to make him ruthless is probably not a good idea. And then Megatron goes and does it ''again'' (though this time he's prepared for and welcomes Rhinox's scheming, which allows him to obtain a legendary artifact of power against the organic).

Klingon Promotion / int_e6267766	comment	The funny thing is that, according to Star Wars Legends, the "Rule of Two" was actually made to curtail this behavior. Before it, the Sith organization practically ate itself since everybody constantly tried to pull this trope at once; the rule was instituted by the sole survivor of one such moment gone horribly bad. It was also noted somewhere that without the rule, several existing Sith apprentices could team up to kill their master... and then promptly try and kill each other. The last remaining would be far weaker than his master (only better or luckier than his accomplices), thus weakening the Sith overall relative to the Jedi.

Klingon Promotion / int_e89f120b	comment	In the original Mobile Suit Gundam, the Zabi Family mostly use this tactic to get ahead. Zabi patriarch Degwin becomes the leader of Zeon in the first place by having Zeon Zum Deikun assassinated (or getting really lucky; it's never proven that Degwin ordered the assassination, or for that matter that he even was assassinated in the first place given that he had pre-existing health conditions that could have caused his fatal collapse, but several characters believe it to be fact, including Deikun's son Casval aka Char who uses it as justification for his Roaring Rampage of Revenge) and then claiming Deikun's last words on his deathbed were to appoint him his successor. Then, late in the series, Degwin gets a taste of his own medicine when Gihren uses the Solar Ray to kill him before he can sue for peace, thus becoming Zeon's new leader by inheritance. Gihren's victory is much shorter-lived than his father's, though, as his sister Kycilia in turn confronts him with his crime before shooting him dead on the bridge in full view of all the ship's crew. She then succeeds Gihren as Zeon's leader before meeting her end in the Battle of A Boa Qu.

Klingon Promotion / int_ee221a4e	comment	The Transformers (Marvel) has a lengthy chain of Decepticons assuming command aftter killing the former leader. Bizarrely, Starscream, who wanted to kill and replace Megatron since day one, never got the chance to do so. At the end of the original limited series, Megatron and the Decepticons were left crippled and helpless. Shockwave turned up while the Autobots were celebrating their victory and blew everyone away, deemed Megatron incompetent, imprisoned him and assumed command. Megatron eventually escaped and reclaimed his leadership position... only to lose it again, when Shockwave preyed on his paranoid fear of the (then-presumed-dead) Optimus Prime. Megatron blew himself up and Shockwave again took command. Ratbat, essentially the Decepticon supply manager, showed up on Earth to ensure that Shockwave was using Decepticon resources efficiently (It Makes Sense in Context). Shockwave ends up presumed dead fighting the Autobots because Ratbat doesn't want to waste gas fishing him out of Earth's atmosphere. Ratbat assumes command. Scorponok, a powerful Decepticon leader in his own right, arrives on Earth around that time and operates independently for a bit, eventually jockeying for supremacy with Ratbat. Scorponok eventually shoots Ratbat in the back and assumes full command of the Decepticons on Earth. Back on Cybertron, Megatron eventually returned and reclaimed command of the Decepticons there. After Ratchet caught him in an exploding transdimensional portal, Thunderwing assumed command. Scorponok fends off assassination attempts by Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave, only to bite it fighting Unicron. In addition, Thunderwing (who'd been MIA since he'd stolen the Creation Matrix) was killed by Unicron as well. Bludgeon, up until now a basic grunt, assumes command because Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave are all MIA, and no one else left on Cybertron is qualified. (Shockwave and Starscream decided to steal the Ark and leave the dying planet, inadvertently taking Megatron with them.) Bludgeon lasts into the subsequent G2 series but is killed by a rebuilt Megatron, who stays in charge until the series is canceled. The Marvel UK series complicated things further, thanks to its post-Movie future timeline, the Galvatron from that timeline traveling to the present day of the comics, and featuring several Decepticon leaders on Cybertron jockeying for position and getting killed off. Hilariously subverted by Tracer of the Decepticon Military Patrol squad. He covets the position of squad leader, but he genuinely respects the current leader, Bombshock. So his method of attempting to gain control of the squad is trying to figure out a way to get Bombshock promoted.
