The World's Expert (on Getting Killed)	comment	They know more about the threat than anyone. Can tell the hero/heroine everything they want to know. They're a cop who's been hunting the Serial Killer for their entire career or the Great White Hunter who knows more about dangerous animals than anyone. Perhaps they're an expert on ancient curses, or are schooled in the ways of killer robots. Whoever they are, they're the good guy's best and most reliable source of information regarding The Threat, its plans, its motivations, its patterns, its strengths, and its weaknesses. Unfortunately for them, they're not the hero of the story and hence cannot rely on Plot Armor. Even more unfortunately, they're just useful enough to the hero that their death will make our heroes even more vulnerable, and their plight more dramatic. Worse still, since they're the expert on The Threat, their death by The Threat will augment the advantage the villain has over the heroes — after all, if this Expert couldn't win against them, what shot do our non-Expert main heroes have? Compare/contrast The Mentor, who is also wise to the threat and often killed by it nonetheless, but The Mentor's death, if and when it comes, is often a Moment of Awesome, Obi-Wan Moment, or at least dramatic. Compare also The Worf Effect, which is where an enemy dispatches a more generally established badass with ease, rather than one specialized against them. Finally, consider Mentor Occupational Hazard, which is the tendency of mentors to the hero to die. This is one of The Perils of Being the Best. See also Negated Moment of Awesome if a lot of build-up is put into introducing them. If the person who dies was the heroes' best hope and now they need to come up with a new idea, see Plan B Resolution. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.

Their study didn't cover the multiple filter Predators have when they hunt cold-blooded game.note This is still a justified trope as thereâ€™s no way they could have known about the multi filter function of the mask.

That said, the Predator that kills him dispenses with any sense of "fair play" and just shoots him with his shoulder cannon at full power in contrast to the "sporting" attitude they have with the other survivors, so maybe they were just that pissed at him.

He is. He kills Daniels easily. (Daniels does show up later, having apparently only been killed "in a manner of speaking" — probably meaning that he did die, but a chronologically younger version of himself could still meet Archer — but it took him out of the action and left Archer to fend for himself.)

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) / int_2442edf2	comment	Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn One of the first priorities of the villains in securing control of Osten Ard to enact their plan to return the Storm King to life is the elimination of anyone who knows enough about their plans to be a threat, which includes the League of the Scroll, a group of scholars who've spent their entire lives studying the lore surrounding him. Amerasu, the oldest Sithi and second oldest thinking being in Osten Ard, is the only character with enough knowledge and power to fully understand the plans of the Storm King and the Norn Queen, Utuk'ku, who is aiding him. As Utuk'ku is the oldest thinking being, however, and has spent centuries building her power, she is able to silence Amerasu right before she can reveal her knowledge to the protagonists, seemingly without effort. The job is then completed by her huntsman, who kills Amerasu's body.

In the third issue, the character of Bloom comes across as the most experienced of the hunters (although the others are nearly as savvy and tough), and in fact received a decent amount of focus in the previous issue (set six years earlier during a different hunt). Bloom proceeds to get a Surprisingly Sudden Death in the middle of a battle though (not to mention a cruel and unusual one) and it's the other surviving members of his group who manage to defeat the infected themselves a couple panels afterwards.

He led the last campaign, has a sharp appreciation for tactics and party balance, and even has one of the three "master" level characters in the party. So naturally, when the players find themselves in a fantasy world for real, Jason's the first one killed off ... ironically because he literally couldn't separate player knowledge from character knowledge.

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Dumbledore, an expert in magic and Voldemort, suffers a terminal curse by making a foolish move while retrieving Voldemort's ring horcrux. Justified by the fact that, by his own admission, his desperation to use the ring's magic clouded his judgement. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Mad-Eye Moody is described as a master duelist and an expert in fighting Dark Wizards but is killed personally by Voldemort while escorting Harry to a safehouse. This is also somewhat justified, however, considering that Moody was acting as one of several decoys and was fully aware that his reputation all but guaranteed he would be the first one targeted. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Gilderoy Lockhart is a parody of this trope. He's amazing. A genius. He's defeated evil monster after evil monster—and his written works on how he did it have made him famous. Oddly enough, he seems rather hesitant to do anything in real life. Turns out that he's not an expert at all, but a total fake. He's been stealing the defeats of evil monsters off other people, and erasing their memories, that being the one form of magic he has any talent for at all.

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) / int_3ec5b7a6	comment	Robert Holloway from House of Leaves is a rather poignant deconstruction and exploration of this archetype. He's a legitimately amazing survivalist and hunter who has explored all the world's most famously dangerous places, but the growing lack of challenge has made him become listless and desperate for stimulation to soothe his secretly insecure ego and establish his place in the history books. He becomes obsessed with trying to conquer the House because of this, unwilling to accept that it's nothing like the natural environments he's used to dealing with and that he's not actually an expert this time. He ends up being driven insane by the House and ultimately commits suicide while trapped within it's walls as he finally realizes what a mistake he's made.

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) / int_4e291f5b	comment	Danganronpa: Present in every game, though usually with the twist that's only revealed long after the victim's death. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has the twistiest example in Mukuro Ikusaba, the Ultimate Soldier. For one thing, nobody knows her talent at the time she's killed as she's posing as a noncombatant by pretending to be her sister, the Ultimate Fashionista, and for another she's not trying to end the Killing Game as she's the Mastermind's accomplice. However, the what-if story Danganronpa IF shows that had she survived, she could've ensured that Everybody Lives, while Makoto was only able to end the game with 6 survivors. Byakuya Togami in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is the best organizer of the students, intent from the start on thwarting the killing game, and has the experience of the first one, so naturally he's the first victim. It's partially subverted as this isn't actually Byakuya but an impostor, but his desire to end the killing game and position as leader of the students is real. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony has Rantaro Amami, who earned the title of Ultimate Survivor for surviving a past Killing Game, only to be the first person murdered in the current Killing Game. However, the player doesn't know his title until long after his death.

There she encounters three Jedi younglings, led by a girl named Kalifa. It's stated that Kalifa has been held there for the longest time, and has out-lived other Padawans, despite being only a youngling herself. She even told the older and better-trained Ahsoka, to her face, that she had the experience in surviving the hunt. Naturally, Kalifa is killed soon after Ahsoka's arrival. Subverted in that, she was an expert in hiding from and avoiding the Trandoshans as much as possible. She only died after Ahsoka convinced them to go on the offensive, and they were ambushed while scouting the Trandoshan's base. To a lesser extent, the Trandoshan leader himself. He has several Wookiee pelts as trophies but doesn't last long once the Wookiees show up in the episode.

The deconstruction is that he actually survives this thanks to his badassery and transforms into a vampire himself instead of dying. A vampire that retains all of Cannon's knowledge and talent, promptly becoming a leader figure that rallies the previously feral vampiric horde into a nigh-unstoppable legion of disciplined warriors. In other words, the World's Expert is every bit as skilled as implied, making him a deadly threat if turned to the other side.

He doesn't survive his first onscreen encounter with armed opponents and ends up sleeping with the fishes. This was because his killers knew his reputation and didn't even try to take him in a straight-up fight. Instead, they opted to get him In the Back with a garrote while pinning his hand to a bar with a knife to keep him immobilized. The book takes this a step further by emphasizing that the murder took place in what was considered a Truce Zone:

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) / int_5908ee91	comment	In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Vigilants of Stendarr are specialized in hunting down Daedra worshipers and Daedric creatures. However, when the vampires (who were warped into their state by the Daedric Prince Molag Bal) start going on the offensive, they're slaughtered and their main base of operations, the Hall of the Vigilant, is razed. Oftentimes, you will find groups of vampires posing as Vigilants after having murdered the actual Vigilants and taken their clothes. However, the foremost expert on vampires among them, who left the Vigilants to reform the Dawnguard, does much better. He can get killed, but only if The Dragonborn joins the Volkihar vampires, and not at the very start of the quest chain.

The movie is about a team of scientists and assorted staff members trying to survive a flooded science station infested with killer mind-enhanced sharks. Fortunately, Russell Franklin is well prepared for this situation, as he has survived a similar dire life-threatening incident before when he was stranded on top of a mountain range. Unfortunately, he is ripped apart by sharks right as he's giving a big speech telling everyone how to handle their predicament. Averted by Carter Blake, the Action Hero lead and animal handler who literally swims with these sharks on a daily basis and survives to the end of the film, in no small part because of said expertise.

They are all killed off in the prologue, among them the mentor, leaving just the two newest recruits to succeed where they failed. Though to be fair, the loss at Ostagar wasn't entirely the Grey Wardens' fault; they'd been counting on Loghain's support, only for him to betray them by withdrawing his troops at the last minute. This left the Wardens completely open to the Darkspawn, who completely annihilated them and the main Ferelden army.

Rush agrees to help and brings his army with him to Hope County, but his arrival is so pompous that the Highwaymen he's supposed to defeat immediately ambush his train, kill almost everyone and take him hostage. Once the Captain frees him, Rush briefly leads the defense of the survivors' home base (which also gets a lot of people killed), then leaves for some scouting and... gets himself captured. Again. Then he gets unceremoniously killed via Boom, Headshot! with a shotgun, and the Captain's attempt to rescue him again almost gets them killed, too. The only actually helpful thing he does in the whole game is pulling the Captain (his Number Two, mind) from the wreckage of his train, and that's literally the very first thing he does, in the very first cutscene, which also makes this a very weird example of Cutscene Power to the Max.

However, both he and Hooper imply that they had never seen a shark like this before, and they do make it out of the first few run ins alive. Also, in all fairness, they'd been waiting and drinking for hours, so it's also clear that Quint is pretty hammered by the time the shark shows up. Quint also let his own ego get in the way, as he sabotaged attempts to call for help. In the novel and the original screenplay (though not in realized film), shark expert Matt Hooper gets eaten by the shark after it destroys his shark cage. Phillip Fitzroyce, from the Jaws 3-D, is described as a skilled hunter and naturalist who has every confidence he can take down the killer shark that is threatening the movie's fictionalized Sea World park. He lasts about five minutes against the beast.

He's defeated evil monster after evil monster—and his written works on how he did it have made him famous. Oddly enough, he seems rather hesitant to do anything in real life. Turns out that he's not an expert at all, but a total fake. He's been stealing the defeats of evil monsters off other people, and erasing their memories, that being the one form of magic he has any talent for at all.

Raymond decides to aid the protagonist, Geralt, in dismantling Salamandra. The endeavor doesn't end well for him, despite Geralt successfully defending him from Salamandra's initial backlash. Azar Javed himself kills Maarloeve and begins impersonating him using magic, which Geralt may or may not discover early on, depending on the player's actions.

Despite having hunted the Wendigos for decades and actually having managed to largely defeat them, after one cutscene explaining Wendigos to most of the cast and a conversation with Chris explaining a bit more about them, he gets killed in his very next fight with them (likely due to keeping his eye more on Chrisâ€™s safety than on his immediate surroundings, as heâ€™s always hunted by himself). The cast finds out anything else they need to know from a book found in his belongings at the lodge. Another reason he goes down might be that the Wendigo that killed him acts in ways that contradicts his explanations for how they hunt.note Attacking to kill straight away, rather than dragging him away and slowly devouring him piece by piece. The same Wendigo is later shown fighting the others, cementing it as one that doesn't play by the rules.

However, both he and Hooper imply that they had never seen a shark like this before, and they do make it out of the first few run ins alive. Also, in all fairness, they'd been waiting and drinking for hours, so it's also clear that Quint is pretty hammered by the time the shark shows up.

However, all of them are killed by untrained tributes like Roguish Poacher Katniss and Scary Black Man Thresh in the 74th Hunger Games, and three of them don't make it into the final eight in the 75th Hunger Games despite being arena veterans due to that year's twist (although Mags is eighty years old and still lasts a while before making a Heroic Sacrifice to save the others from poison fog). Given how there are a bare minimum of 19 living Victors from non-Career districts during the 75th Hunger Games, the Careers apparently lose the Games relatively often despite their training, and even when they do win, only one of them goes home while the other five die despite their training and preparation (something that much of the series' fanfiction explores in greater detail).

Konig instinctively realizes that he's being lured into a trap and kills Kulikov during his first mission with Vasily.

Your band of adventurers, with standard military equipment and limited support, saves the world.

Then she doesn't show up again until the end of the season when she's dispatched by Drusilla with very little effort. Jenny Calendar's people had handled Angelus before and she was the only person who had the curse that would restore Angel's soul, thus ending the threat. He knew this; she knew he knew this. (He'd already killed the other member of her clan in town.) Yet when Angelus came for her, she was completely unprepared.

Having regained his strength, he tells the Warriors to return to their world while he handles the battle ahead. Then the evil Warriors arrive, and in the ensuing battle, Mercurymon defeats Seraphimon and steals his data, reducing him to a digi-egg. As such, it falls to the Warriors to save the Digital World.

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) / int_e60d3d7a	comment	Predator: Predator 2 has an elite alien-hunting squad tracking and studying the Predator, but they get slaughtered when they try to capture it. Their study didn't cover the multiple filter Predators have when they hunt cold-blooded game.note This is still a justified trope as thereâ€™s no way they could have known about the multi filter function of the mask. Predators: the survivor Nolan has defeated several Predators off-screen and has endured ten "seasons" of hunting on the alien planet but still goes out like a punk the second they show up on-screen. That said, the Predator that kills him dispenses with any sense of "fair play" and just shoots him with his shoulder cannon at full power in contrast to the "sporting" attitude they have with the other survivors, so maybe they were just that pissed at him.

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) / int_eded135a	comment	In Tomb Raider (2013), Dr. James Whitman is the leading archeologist on the Endurance expedition to Yamatai, and boasts that he has two PhDs, one of them in East Asian mythology, while Lara herself is basically an inexperienced student. However, it's made pretty clear through the game that Lara's the one who actually knows what she's doing. Whitman eventually gets himself stupidly killed trying to strike up a conversation with two undead samurai guardians, in English — the only Japanese word he knows is the one for "queen", which triggers the fanatical guards, and they chop him to pieces.

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) / int_ef9ba9b4	comment	Four Jedi Knights set out to arrest Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious in Revenge of the Sith. They're led by Jedi Master Mace Windu, who had just then been warned by Anakin that Palpatine was a Sith Lord, so there's no excuse for being taken by surprise. And yet Sidious takes them by surprise. Two Jedi don't even parry a single slash from Sidious's lightsaber before immediately dying, and one more gets in a few blocks before being felled. Only Mace Windu survives long enough to offer a decent lightsaber battle, and might even have won if Anakin hadn't intervened.
