It's a staple of Medieval Fantasy that whenever a hero does something noteworthy, they get a "surname" (more properly termed an epithet or byname) out of it, like say Sir Tropesalot, Dragon Slayer. Occasionally, it even sticks as a surname and informs the history of an entire heroic legacy. Eventually, the mere act of saying their full name constitutes a Badass Boast in and of itself — or Famed In-Story when others recite it. Obviously, prone to Meaningful Name. Then there are kings who simply append titles and qualifiers to their names to add importance to themselves without actually doing anything. Generally it's someone with Small Name, Big Ego, probably a Smug Snake, who insists you address him as Major Doctor Unnotable. Oh, and if such a king is evil, you can expect him to be called Evil Troperlord the Butcher or such. Historically, those names have been given by others and are often mundane things like "the fat" or "the ugly" or "the sot." When family names came to be used, these bynames often shifted into that purpose: a last name like "White" probably started as the nickname of an ancestor with pale skin or blonde hair, while people named "Smith," "Baker," "Fletcher", etc. probably had an ancestor in said profession. Supertrope of They Call Him "Sword". If the character's entire name is changed, by himself or someone else, see Meaningful Rename. At least they have the excuse of resulting from something the character did; contrast Awesome McCoolname. See also Overly Long Name, Try to Fit That on a Business Card. Compare The Adjectival Superhero, where the epithet comes first; Red Baron, where the character's epithet is more famous or important than their real name, and Spell My Name with a "The", where the character's epithet is their entire name. Contrast Just the First Citizen, where The Emperor chooses a deliberately understated title. Do not confuse this trope with Magnificent Bastard. |

At the very beginning of their personal storylines, characters in Guild Wars 2 are given titles so that voiced NPCs can address them. Humans get called "The Hero of Shaemoor," norn become "The Slayer of Issormir," and charr are promptly promoted to Legionnaire (since every character is a soldier). What asura and sylvari characters will be called is as of yet unknown. Guild Wars 2 also, like many MMOs, has titles tied to the achievement system (and to achievements in the original Guild Wars). |

Many characters get called "Name, the Adjective" in The Silmarillion. Some of these titles are cool (Fingon the Valiant, Finrod the Faithful, Eärendil the Bright, Húrin the Steadfast, Maedhros/Galdor/Elendil the Tall), others... less so (Uldor the Accursed, Brandir the Lame...)note Well, OK, he actually HAD a crippled limp, but it's still an unfortunate epithet. | |

In John Barnes's One for the Morning Glory, kings receive such a title posthumously.

Looney Tunes: In the short "Knight-Mare Hare", Bugs Bunny travels back in time to the Middle Ages and meets a knight who introduces himself thusly: Bugs then procedes to spoof this trope by talking about some of his friends: "Duke of Ellington, Count of Basie, Earl of Hines, Cab of Calloway, Satchmo of Armstrong." In "Rabbit Hood", while pretending to be Richard the Lionhearted, Bugs "grants" the Sherrif of Nottingham a list of increasingly punny and absurd titles while repeatedly pounding his hapless victim on the head with his prop scepter. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) brings us Mephiles the Dark. This is interesting, as in a franchise that concerns creatures named after their specific species (i.e., Shadow the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, etc.), Mephiles is given a different type of "the" name, hinting that he's not a normal creature. | |

The Night Unfurls: The title "Kyril the Bloody" is bestowed upon the Good Hunter for his merciless and brutal actions at the Nellos Watch Tower. He puts a lampshade on this by noting internally: such a nice title. Kyril P.O.V. refers to Celestine as "Celestine the Fair" during their first meeting in the remastered version. One of the orc war chiefs Kyril slays has a Name To Run Away From Really Fast, named "Ozgriz the Mighty". In the remastered version, he has slain two of them with such names: "Ozgriz the Defiler" and "Thurog the Tall". |

In John Adams, Adams insists the President's dignity should have several honorary and bombastic titles or surnames, but Washington overrules him and sets it as "Mr. President and nothing more". Adams was a real bore on this subject. The Senate eventually voted him the title of "His Rotundity" as a Take That!. | |

The Harry Potter fanfic series Of a Linear Circle gives these to the four Founders of Hogwarts, referencing both a trait they are well-known for and the area of the world they come from: Godric Gryffindor is the Guardian Fire of the South, Rowena Ravenclaw is the Shining Wisdom of the East, Helga Hufflepuff is the Golden Light of the North, and Salazar Slytherin is the Emerald Flame of the West. These titles are relevant to the plot, or at least its backstory. | |

Many characters in Trigun: Vash the Stampede gets points for not having a surname to obscure. His real name is just Vash. He seems to have adopted 'the Stampede,' though, since when Millie uses it at an inopportune time he cries out, "I hate it when you call me by my full name!" Especially the Gung-Ho Guns, who seem to have it in their contracts. Notably, Wolfwood seems to have inherited the entire title Chapel the Evergreen, not just the epithet, by shooting Master Chapel in the back to take over his slot in the Guns. Even though Chapel seems to have been the old guy's real name. Manga Wolfwood is also known as Nicholas the Punisher. Explaining somewhat why he goes by his surname. Meryl and Millie's noms de guerre are nouns (their primary weapons) appended to the fronts of their names as adjectives, probably to show that they're a few classes below the powerhouses doing all the serious slugging. |

World of Warcraft: Titles are purely cosmetic, and there's plenty of them by way of achievements. Some, like "YourNameHere Jenkins" are pretty easy to get once you know how. (In this case, you have to re-enact Leeroy Jenkins' infamous charge into the Rookery). Some... Well, let's say they don't help the stereotype of a WoW player playing all day and all night for several days without bathing or even leaving the computer for more than a few minutes. Like the aptly named and almost-impossible "YourNameHere The Insane". One boss (Nefarian of Blackwing Descent), if you slay his minion Maloriak on Heroic difficulty, will sarcastically congratulate you, and temporarily assign you the title of "Slayer Of Stupid, Incompetent, and Disappointing Minions". Grommash Hellscream earned the name Hellscream from his infamous Battle Cry. His son would carry it as a surname. His father, Golmash, was known as the Giantslayer thanks to his own deeds (but for some reason Hellscream is treated as his surname as well). |

Apparently, this is custom among the vikings in this world, as the TV series introduces the leader of the Outcast tribe, Alvin the Treacherous, as well as the Ax-Crazy Dagur the Deranged, who recently took the chieftainship of the Berserker tribe from his father, Oswald the Agreeable. Also, though many of them are never named as such in the movies or series, the Hooligan Tribe includes such members as Gobber the Belch, Phlegma the Fierce, Silent Sven and Fearless Finn Hofferson. |

In With Strings Attached, Baravadans have personal names and descriptive names ("given names") rather than surnames. These names can be invented by a person or hung on them. Examples: Lyndess Groundburner, except in Ta'akan everyone now derisively calls her Lyndess the Example. Grunnel the Thinker (later renamed by John as "Grunnel the Wanker"). Brox Funny (later renamed "Brox Bugger-All"). As'taris Farbound (later renamed "Ass the Ass"). In addition, Brox jokingly renames the four after their magic ("John Kansael-carrier," etc.), lampshading the fact that she knows all about them. They aren't amused. |

The second game in the Civilization series bestows various titles on you at the end, which start out at "Insert Name Here The Worthless" and get progressively more positive as your score increases, with "Insert Name Here The Magnificent", appropriately, being the top one. In Civilization IV, these titles were instead used for flavor on the planetary censuses, which would pop up every few dozen turns and rate nations on a particular vital statistic (such as gold in treasury or technologies earned). The highest-ranking civ would be "the Magnificent", all the way down to number eight "the Puny". Any more than eight and the lower civs just didn't place. In Civilization V, rulers earn a title based on their most recently adopted social policy, such as "the Great" (Honor track) or "the Enlightened" (Rationalism track). |

The wizard Maxander Guilk, otherwise known as "Maxander The Magnificent"... who, save for having some skill with Pyrotropic spells, is an incompetent bumbling bufoon, an embarassment to his father, a constant source of danger to those who lo-- uh, tolerate his presence and the only one who would ever associate the name "Maxander Guilk" with the word "Magnificent". The necromancer Driobutus the Diabolical... who spends his nights writing goth-y poetry; once claimed, in a drunken stupor, to be "the most evil man in Asharia"; and whose greatest accomplishment as a necromancer was creating one zombie. He's not so much a Harmless Villain as he is mildly annoying. |

A later Eternals series gave him a Given Name Reveal and it's subsequently become an epithet. Kalos the Destructor also crosses into Names to Run Away from Really Fast territory. Originally a follower of the Omnicidal Maniac Uranos, he was deemed beyond redemption when Uranos was imprisoned, and wasn't allowed to fully re-enter Eternal society. Soule the Charred, who's been mentioned but never seen, is named as a Shout-Out to Marvel writer Charles Soule. |

A Thing of Vikings: Stoick the Vast, of course. Also in a few of the fictional references used as epigraphs, Hiccup is referred to as "Hiccup the Wise". An epigraph shows that Astrid will gain quite a few epithets including "The Skydancer", "Freyja's Chosen" and "Sif's Blade". An epigraph reveals that Stoick gains "Odin's Spear-carrier", "Stoick the Wise" and "Stoick the Law-Giver". Other recurring characters include Alvin the Treacherous and Magnus the Good. |

Master Billy Quizboy, Boy Genius of The Venture Brothers whose real name is William Whalen. Even though he's middle-aged, he still retains the Boy Genius epithet partly due to the fact that he looks like a child and partly because "Master Billy Quizboy, Adult Genius" just doesn't have the same ring to it. | |

In the Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) episode "No Brainer" Snively wipes Sonic's memory and convinces him that the two are old friends, introducing himself as "Snively the Great." When the effect is reversed at the end of the episode, Sonic plays the trope literally by dubbing himself "Sonic the Magnificent." | |

A Song of Ice and Fire universe: Game of Thrones: Any claimant to the Iron Throne lays claim to the following style: X of House Y, the Number of his (or her) Name, King (or Queen) of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord (or Lady) of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons. Lampshaded in the Honest Trailers trailer for the series, in which they refer to Westeros as being the place where everyone is "the thing of nouns." Aegon I Targaryen is known as "Aegon the Conqueror" for subjugating six of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros into one realm, making him the single-most successful named conqueror in the history of the series. In the books, he's also known as "Aegon the Dragon". The aforementioned title of Queen Daenerys was spoofed in the series in the scene when she and Jon meet the first time. Jon's aide Davos, after hearing the long list of Dany's titles, answers: "This is Jon. (...) The King in the North". House of the Dragon: King Jaehaerys I Targaryen was called "the Wise" and "the Conciliator". Viserys I Targaryen, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. He went down in history as "King Viserys the Peaceful" after his death. |

Queen of Shadows: All the past Yojimbos listed in the Histories of Eternal Shadow are given titles of some kind after their deaths. Kamisori is called "The Swift", and is implied to be a Lightning Bruiser. Kyouaku is known as "The Pirate King" and "The Butcher (or alternately, The Devil) of the Japanese Seas". And he prefers the latter. |

Battle for Wesnoth: Delfador is known as "Delfador the Great". His origin campaign reveals that the oracles from his academy foresaw him being given the title, so when one of his greatest enemy sarcastically names him such in their final battle, Delfador claims the title, which his allies accept after he leads them to their victory. Kapou'e's late father and orcish sovereign Rahul is given the title "The Black Eye". Rahul's still-alive rival Shan Taum has a lesser reputation and is known as "Shan Taum the Smug". |

The Ottoman Turkish sultan who presided over the height of Ottoman power in the 16th century? Süleyman I the Magnificent. Incidentally, that's his Western epithet. In his own nation, he was known as "The Lawgiver", and supposedly, that's how he wanted to be remembered. (Also rather apropos for a monarch named Solomon.) His epithet in Hungarian, the language of the people he fought a lot and dealt a Curb-Stomp Battle to? Suleiman the Great. When your arch-enemies refer to you as "the Magnificent" or "the Great", you know you did something really well. Süleyman I's father Selim I had a pretty badass epithet, being known as Selim I the Grim. Apparently he was noted for a dour demeanor and a single-minded determination to conquer. Some Turkish sultans suffered from bad epithets instead: Ibrahim I was "the Mad", and Selim II (Süleyman I's son and heir) was "the Sot".*An archaic way of saying "the Drunk". This one seems entirely fitting, as he apparently spent most of his days drinking wine; conquered Cyprus to gain control of the vineyards that produced his favorite vintage, commandaria (which eventually caused the Battle of Lepanto that permanently broke Ottoman seapower, but never mind); and died when he drunkenly slipped on the wet floor of a bathhouse, cracking his skull. Mehmet II is rarely referred to as Mehmet in Turkey, but as Fatih, which is his title, meaning "the Conqueror": he conquered Constantinople — and much else. Today, the historic center of Istanbul — which is to say, the old city of Constantinople within the Theodosian Walls — is known as the Fatih District of the modern mega-city. Non-Turks generally refer to him as "Mehmet the Conqueror". Sultan Abdul Hamid II earned the nickname "Abdul The Butcher" and "The Red Sultan" outside of Turkey because of the massacres of 300,000 Ottoman Armenians he ordered between 1894-96. |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series: Kahless the Unforgettable. (qeylIS lIjlaHbe'bogh vay') Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House of Betazed, the Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, and Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed." She says this virtually every time she's introduced to just about anyone, whether they are impressed by her titles or not. It's implied that they're ceremonial and largely meaningless. Star Trek: Voyager. From the pilot episode when Janeway meets Neelix for the first time. All over the place in the World of Ham holoprogram The Adventures of Captain Proton. Supervillain Dr. Chaotica refers to himself as "Ruler of the Cosmos!" When the Doctor has to enter the program B'Elanna asks sarcastically if he's going as "Emperor of the Universe", whereupon the Doctor (who could teach Chaotica a thing or two in the ego department) replies that he's going to have to scale down his role in the interests of credibility — so he's playing "The President of Earth" instead. Not to mention the hero played by Tom Paris. |

Subjects include Star's great-great grandmother Celena the Shy, Solaria the Monster-Carver, Eclipsa the Queen of Darkness, and Star's mother Moon the Undaunted. "Raid the Cave" has the protagonist embrace the title that young monsters have given her, "Star the Rebel Princess", while side material reveal that her title will ultimately be "Star the Underestimated". |

The title of Song of the Lioness comes from the epithet that its protagonist, Alanna of Trebond, gains. Her mage brother gives her a shield with a lioness rampant emblazoned on it beneath a glamour of their house's coat-of-arms. After she is outed as a woman and goes questing to expiate the noteriety this incurs, she uses her shield uncovered and people soon begin calling her "Alanna the Lioness", particularly after the battle to secure Prince Jonathan's place on the throne. She is often referred to simply as "the Lioness" by others in conversation throughout the books succeeding her own series. Her other usual title is "the King's Champion", a position Jon confers on her. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The series' lore contains the Magna-Ge, aka "Star Orphans". The Magna-Ge are et'Ada ("original spirits") who, along with their "father" Magnus (the architect of Mundus, the mortal realm), fled Mundus part way through its creation after Magnus realized that creating it would severely weaken the et'Ada and forever bind them to the world. One of these Magna-Ge is known as "Mnender-Foil the Amazing". This is a common naming convention among the Nords, crossing over with Luke Nounverber. These epithets can be direct or ironic. In the Nordic naming convention, there is a difference between names with a "the" and without a "the". If there is an article, it likely means that this Nord earned his moniker personally rather than inheriting it like a family name. The absence of the article likely means it's a family name inherited from older generations. (With the founder of the bloodline liking earning it with a "the".) Skyrim, taking place in the Nordic homeland, provides many examples of both types such as Grelod the Kind (an ironic epithet for a cruel orphanage matron) and the Shatter-Shield clan (shared by the parents and children). |

In A Song of Ice and Fire many of the characters (especially knights) have nicknames and suffixes to their actual names e.g. Barristan the Bold or Duncan the Tall. Other characters' nicknames take the place of their name, such as the Imp, the Kingslayer, the Mountain That Rides, and so forth. In some cases, like with Barristan the Bold, the epithet is always tacked on to avoid confusion, due to the series' utter lack of a One-Steve Limit — and the fact that, like a lot of medieval Europe, the peasantry tend not to have family names. Knights need the epithets if they have no last names, being knights in the first generation only. Ser Duncan is "the Tall" and ser Shadrich is "the Mad Mouse" because there is no other way to tell them from the other Duncans and Shadriches. And, of course, irony and humor are not exempt. Consider Giant (the smallest man in the Night's Watch), Small Paul (the largest), or Lothor Apple-Eater (who in one battle killed and/or captured a large number of men belonging to a noble house that used an apple as its sigil, including a handful of minor nobles). One knight proudly takes the title of Giantslayer, when in fact he killed the giant by lancing him In the Back as he was running away. A sellsword gets dubbed 'Caggo the Corpsekiller' after cutting down a king who turned out to be tied to his horse in an El Cid Ploy. Samwell Tarly is embarrassed when he's dubbed 'Sam the Slayer' after killing an Other, because he views himself as a Dirty Coward and assumes his friends are mocking him. Spoofed in a Running Gag where Ser Barristan keeps calling a foreign king "Your Grace", only to be told each time that the king should be addressed as "Your Magnificence" or "Your Radiance". And then there's Dany. As an exiled claimant of the Westerosi throne (the only heir left to the previous dynasty) she habitually styles herself with the titles associated with that position, which, on their own, almost qualify anybody using them for this trope. The way she collects extra titles on her Odyssey, by the end of the fifth novel she could possibly be introduced with something along the lines of "Daenerys Targaryen, First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Princess of Dragonstone, Khaleesi of the Dothraki Sea, Queen of Meereen", occasionally jokingly shortened by fans to "Dany, Titles, Titles" The Wildlings give us Tormund Giantsbane, Tall-talker, Horn-blower and Breaker of Ice; Tormund Thunderfist, Husband to Bears, the Mead-King of Ruddy Hall, Speaker to Gods and Father of Hosts. The Targaryen kings get a lot of these, since it's easier to remember which Aegon you're talking about when you refer to "Aegon the Conqueror," "Aegon the Unworthy," and "Aegon the Unlikely" as opposed to "Aegon I," "Aegon IV," and "Aegon V". Other notables include Daeron the Young Dragon, Maegor the Cruel, Jaehaerys the Conciliator, Daeron the Good and Baelor the Blessed. One non-king Targaryen to get this treatment is Prince Aemon the Dragonknight. The ruling Starks — first Kings in the North and later Lords of Winterfell and Lords Paramount of the North — also get this a lot, especially those with traditional names like Brandon. There are Brandon the Builder, Brandon the Shipwright, Brandon the Burner, Brandon the Ice-Eyes, and Brandon the Bad, among others. Robb Stark, the first King in the North in centuries, gets called "the Young Wolf" a lot. The chieftain or leader (it's unclear what exactly he is, just that he's not a king) of the giants in Mance Rayder's army is called Mag the Mighty. |

Futurama: The episode "My Three Suns" had a planet of water creatures who gave their kings titles describing their structure and consistency — "King [name] the [word meaning "wet"]". When Fry became king, he was given the title "King Fry the Solid... who drank Bont the Viscous... who drank Ungo the Moist... who guzzled Zorn the Stagnant... [cut to much later that same day] who slurped Hudge the Dewy... who enjoyed a soup composed principally of Throm the Chunky..." "I am the Professor, Wise and... uh... forgetful!

He goes from Vyse the Unimpressive to (if the player does well enough) Vyse the Legend over the course of the story.

Aurora (2019): Gods often have one or more epithets which can be used with or substituted for their primary name. Examples include "Fairblade" for the sword-wielding city god Vash, "Lawbringer" for the draconian city god Zuurith, and "Shadow of Thunder" or "Storm of Terror" for the malicious weather god Tynan. | |

Magic: The Gathering: A single character is often represented on multiple cards, and the most common way to distinguish the different cards is to append each with a descriptive title. Nissa Revane, for instance, is represented on the cards Nissa Revane; Nissa, Worldwaker; Nissa, Vastwood Seer; Nissa, Sage Animist; Nissa, Voice of Zendikar; Nissa, Nature's Artisan; Nissa, Vital Force; Nissa, Steward of Elements; and Nissa, Genesis Mage. Some character have a simple name on their first card and only start collecting titles on reapperences, which infamously led to one player losing a tournament when they named "Borborygmos" instead of "Borborygmos, Enraged" like they intended. | |

When his superior refuses to help, explaining that he was The Bait and intended to die, he jeers at Iskavan for thinking his paltry victories have made him Hated. Iskavan sets out on a rampage, deciding to start with women and wounded. Ciaphas Cain: Commissar Cain is known as "the Liberator" on Perlia, which he, well, liberated from an ork Waaagh!. Technically speaking, he only liberated half of it, and he had a couple of hundred people backing him up, but he's the one who ends up Famed In-Story.

Game of Thrones: Any claimant to the Iron Throne lays claim to the following style: X of House Y, the Number of his (or her) Name, King (or Queen) of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord (or Lady) of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons. Lampshaded in the Honest Trailers trailer for the series, in which they refer to Westeros as being the place where everyone is "the thing of nouns." Aegon I Targaryen is known as "Aegon the Conqueror" for subjugating six of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros into one realm, making him the single-most successful named conqueror in the history of the series. In the books, he's also known as "Aegon the Dragon". The aforementioned title of Queen Daenerys was spoofed in the series in the scene when she and Jon meet the first time. Jon's aide Davos, after hearing the long list of Dany's titles, answers: "This is Jon. (...) The King in the North". |

Warhammer 40,000: This is common practice among Chaos characters, who include such titles as Khârn the Betrayer, Abaddon the Despoiler, and Scyrak the Slaughterer. All six of the Eldar Phoenix Lords have an elaborate title of this sort: Maugan Ra, the Harvester of Souls; Jain Zar, the Storm of Silence; Asurmen, the Hand of Asuryen; Karandras, the Shadow Hunter; Baharroth, the Cry of the Wind; and Fuegan, the Burning Lance. The Space Wolves, being space Vikings, have these names as a matter of course, with notable figures including Njal Stormcaller (he summons storms), Ulric The Slayer (he's quite good at killing things), and Bjorn the Fell-Handed (he's a ten-thousand-year-old super-soldier living in a walking tank, and one of his hands is a giant lightning-powered claw with a built-in flamethrower). The Primarchs each have a variety of nicknames associated with them such as Angron the Red Angel, Konrad Curze the Night Haunter, Leman Russ the Wolf King, and of course Horus, the Warmaster. Every one of the Necron named characters has one of these titles (with a few exceptions), such as Imotekh the Stormlord, Trazyn the Infinite, Anrakyr the Traveller, and Orikan the Diviner. The Ork warlord Grukk is known by a variey of titles in reference to his power, battlefield prowess, and hair-trigger temper. His most common appellation is Grukk Face-Rippa, after his favored way of killing opponents. Other titles that he's collected include Grukk the Unstoppable, Grukk Face-Eater and Grukk the Zogging Maniac. |

Total War: The series allows family members to gain similar epithets, dependent on their character traits (and, indirectly, success as a leader). They range from the embarrassing ("the Cowardly" or "the Cuckold") to the admirable ("the Just", "the Kind") to the impressive ("the Brave", "the Great", "the Mighty") to the hilarious ("the Lewd", "the Queen", "the Idiot") to the downright terrifying ("the Bloody-Handed", "the Tyrant", "the Lord of Terror"). Notably, the game only ever uses the most recently acquired epithet, making it entirely possible that a general goes from "the Conqueror" to "the Mean". Total War: Warhammer II: Over the course of his campaign, Imrik comes across five unique dragons with grandiose titles referring to their particular quirks — Gordinar, Champion of the Flame; Bruwor, Protector of Life; Lamoureux the Frozen Breath; Shackolot the Calamity; and Ymwrath the Eternal. |

In the Doctor Who story "Remembrance of the Daleks" the Doctor describes himself to Davros as "The Doctor, President-elect of the High Council of Time Lords. Keeper of the legacy of Rassilon. Defender of the Laws of Time, Protector of Gallifrey." Of course, he's just being dramatic, as he runs away from any such responsibility to go with these titles. The Daleks call him: The Oncoming Storm |

Blake's 7. Servalan's full title upon seizing control of the Terran Federation is — President of the Terran Federation, Ruler of the High Council, Lord of the Inner and Outer Worlds, High Admiral of the Galactic Fleets, Lord General of the Six Armies, and Defender of the Earth.

Star Trek: Voyager. From the pilot episode when Janeway meets Neelix for the first time. All over the place in the World of Ham holoprogram The Adventures of Captain Proton. Supervillain Dr. Chaotica refers to himself as "Ruler of the Cosmos!" When the Doctor has to enter the program B'Elanna asks sarcastically if he's going as "Emperor of the Universe", whereupon the Doctor (who could teach Chaotica a thing or two in the ego department) replies that he's going to have to scale down his role in the interests of credibility — so he's playing "The President of Earth" instead. Not to mention the hero played by Tom Paris. |

The Hobbit also had Smaug call himself "Smaug the Magnificent" and "Smaug the Golden". Bilbo addresses him as "Smaug the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities," but given what Smaug is like, that counts as flattery. | |

Of Mares and Magic: Unicorns use a fairly complex system of honorifics which one formally earns under specific circumstances. "The Magnificent" is awarded to top students from Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns — both Twilight and Trixie can use it; Twilight avoids it because she thinks it sounds gaudy. "Great and Powerful" is held by only a single pony at a time, and is obtained by defeating the previous holder in a formal magical duel. |

In Saint Seiya Athena's Saints are often referred to by their constellation, a recognition that not only they survived the deadly training to become a Saint but even claimed a Cloth. In the Italian dub Death Mask even flat-out says that the real name of Dokho is "Libra Gold Saint", discounting any personal name or title he had because it's just that important. Among the Silver Saints, Lizard Misty is commonly referred to as The Silver Saint, even by other Silver Saint, because he slayed innumerable monsters without suffering a single wound or even a hit. Indeed, the first one to refer to him as "The Silver Saint" is Ophiuchus Shaina, the one Silver Saint objectively stronger than him, as not even her could claim to have never been struck in combat. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House of Betazed, the Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, and Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed." She says this virtually every time she's introduced to just about anyone, whether they are impressed by her titles or not. It's implied that they're ceremonial and largely meaningless. | |
