If there's one way to impress upon the viewer the general awesomeness of a character, it's to give him the titles to show for it. Often, the first mention of a character with loads and loads of titles is, or will be closely followed by, a formal introduction or a signature of a formal letter. Another common vector for the Long List is a Badass Boast, especially if the titles were awarded for martial achievements or general badassery. Done improperly, he'll just come off as "Jimmy the Longwinded, He of Many Titles" (although this can be deliberate when the trope is Played for Laughs). This is very much Truth in Television, in that many reigning monarchs tended to possess an impressive array of titles. In the modern day, loads and loads of titles can be found on accomplished British citizens. It can also come from having several academic degrees; compare Geniuses Have Multiple PhDs, Omnidisciplinary Scientist and Renaissance Man. A subtrope of Long List and The Magnificent. May be combined with Overly Long Name. Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking is likely to be involved, as the most impressive titles will generally be listed first. Compare Some Call Me "Tim", They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!, I Have Many Names, someone has multiple, separate names, and Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom, which is a name that's more like a description, and therefore has length. Contrast Just the First Citizen, The Master and similarly styled Names to Run Away from Really Fast, where brevity is the soul of intimidation. If they also happen to announce it (or someone else does it for them) a lot then it's also a Large Ham Title. |

I can see myself in "Queen Kelirehenna I, Lord of Sto Lat, Protector of the Eight Protectorates and Empress of the Long Thin Debated Piece Hubwards of Sto Kerrig." A reference to Queen Elizabeth, whose titles were even longer. (See Real Life below) |

In the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) mini-series produced by Archie Comics (Right before the main comics), Robotnik has a plaque on his desk that reads "DR. ROBOTNIK: Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac..." At this point it continues on a sign on his desk's side, "...Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rain Forest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, Insurance Salesman". | |

Back when Libya was the "terrorist bogeyman du jour," as the Transformers Wiki puts it, The Transformers had a Qurac named Carbombya (no, seriously.) Or rather, the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya. Its leader, a thinly-veiled Lawyer-Friendly Cameo of leader of Libya, Muammar al-Gaddafi, was Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings Abdul Fakkadi. | |

Morrowind: Leaving aside the optional joinable factions, the Nerevarine is Nerevarine and Hortator (of House Hlaalu, House Redoran and House Telvanni), Hearthfriend of the Ashlanders, Bloodskaal to the Skaal and Operative in the Blades (although that last is supposed to be secret and so not actually put on a business card). If optional joinable factions are included, this is easily doubled: Factor in the East Empire Company, Master of the Fighters Guild, Primate of the Imperial Cult, Knight of the Imperial Dragon in the Imperial Legion's Order of Ebonheart, Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild, Master Thief of the Thieves Guild, Grandmaster of the Morag Tong, Patriarch of the Tribunal Temple and either Archmagister of House Telvanni, Archmaster of House Redoran or Grandmaster of House Hlaalu). In the backstory, the Dwemer architect who devised a method and the tools necessary to tap into the Heart of Lorkhan, Kagrenac, had such a title: Chief Tonal Architect, Magecrafter, High Priest, High Engineer, Arcane Philosopher, and Pioneer in the field of Mythopeic Forces. |

In Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, if you do all the sidequests, the Fateless One will end up with a lot of titles. If you go by the fae tradition, every single quest chain could probably be a new one—but there are still more than a few explicit ones as well. Example: King Wencyn of the Court of Enchantments, Archsage of the Scholia Arcana, Truesworn of the Warsworn, Champion of the House of Valor, Master of Gravehal Keep, Scion of Akara, Beckoned of Ethene, Herald of the Gods, Hero of Mel Senshir... You can even purchase a title for announcement purposes by officials in Ysa, to tack onto your already long list of names. |

Dragon Age: The Warden in Dragon Age: Origins, if you play as the Human Noble, can eventually be styled as: His/Her Royal Highness Lord/Lady Cousland, Queen/Prince-Consort of Ferelden, Teyrn/a of Gwaren, Arl/essa of Denerim, Arl/essa of Amaranthine, heir/ess presumptive to the Teyrnir of Highever, Warden-Commander of the Order of Fereldan Grey Wardens, Hero of Ferelden. Cassandra Pentaghast from Dragon Age: Inquisition has both this and an Overly Long Name. note Her full set of titles, not including her sixteen names, would be Lady Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast, Right Hand of the Divine Justinia V, fourteenth cousin of the King of Nevarra, nine times removed, Hero of Orlais, and Agent of the Holy Inquisition. Cassandra—being Cassandra—will accompany you to the Empress's ball in Orlais and tell the page reading her names to just skip ahead. Leliana, by the time of Inquisition, has a pretty extensive list of titles herself. If she was romanced in the first game by a human noble who married the monarch of Ferelden, she is identified at the Orlesian ball as Lady Leliana, Nightingale of the Imperial Court, veteran of the Fifth Blight, mistress to the Queen/Prince-Consort of Ferelden, Seneschal of the Inquisition, and Left Hand of the Divine. The Inquisitor will also get an introduction like this, though the exact details it includes depend on the origin you chose and also whether you recruited the mages or the Templars to help you seal the Breach. In the Inquisition DLC Jaws of Hakkon, the eponymous group is led by a man called Gurd Harofsen, called the Cutter, wyvern-slayer, lowlands-bane. |

RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: Princess Luna's full title is "Princess Luna Equestris, Sovereign of the Three Tribes, Mistress of the Star Beasts, Shepard of the Sun and Moon, Empress of Cavallia." Vicerein Puissance has over a hundred different titles that she's managed to acquire (or buy) over her long life, and in formal situations, she requires them to all be read out. "Viscountess Twilight Sparkle, Lady of the Northern Reaches, Lady Protector of Poniswaza, Baronett of Lankswana, Stabledawn and Drum-Mark." As she puts it, her mom really likes handing out titles. "Tirek. Lord of the Midnight Castle, The Shadow in the Soul, the Tyrant in the Pit, the Liar and the Thief, the Bringer of the Night That Never Ends, and Lord of All Sorrows." |

The King's titles in Randall Garrett's Lord Darcy stories: "John IV, by the Grace of God, King and Emperor of England, France, Scotland, Ireland, New England and New France, King of the Romans and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Defender of the Faith." That's the short version. The long one includes a bunch of knightly orders and additional Alternate Universe name-drops (e.g. Supreme Chief of the Moqtessumid Clan). | |

Honor Harrington: By the later books, the main character's full title is "Admiral of the Fleet and Captain HMS Unconquered Lady Dame Honor Stephanie Alexander-Harrington KGC MC PMV SG, Duchess and Steadholder Harrington, Countess White Haven." Also, W.E.B. Du Havel has an unspecified amount of Ph.D.s (most of which aren't honorary), the Nobel-Shakra Prize for Human Aspiration, and the Solarian Medallion.

In Umineko: When They Cry, while most witches have a single name and a simple title (Beatrice the Endless Witch, Bernkastel the Witch of Miracles, etc.), we are eventually introduced to Featherine Augustus Aurora, Majestic Witch of Theatregoing, Drama and Spectating, who is unsurprisingly one the most ancient and powerful witches. Bernkastel and Lambdadelta just call her "Auau," though. | |

In Ozy and Millie, when Ozy's dad declared their house an independent country, he gave himself the title "Chief Diagonal Pumpkin Non-Hippopotamus Dragony Thingy-Dingy-Flingy Llewellyn the nineteenth". Almost certainly for comedic value. | |

"President Führer King Bradley" of Fullmetal Alchemist, although "King" is just his very appropriate first name. He is both president of the country and head (Führer) of the military. | |

Cassandra Pentaghast from Dragon Age: Inquisition has both this and an Overly Long Name. note Her full set of titles, not including her sixteen names, would be Lady Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast, Right Hand of the Divine Justinia V, fourteenth cousin of the King of Nevarra, nine times removed, Hero of Orlais, and Agent of the Holy Inquisition. Cassandra—being Cassandra—will accompany you to the Empress's ball in Orlais and tell the page reading her names to just skip ahead. | |

Harry Potter: "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Order of Merlin, First Class; Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, and Grand Sorcerer. And Chocolate Frog Card... guy." Fittingly, he seems fonder of that last one than any of the others. Though his titles are somewhat less illustrious and fraudulent (with the possible exception of the Charming Smile Awards), we also have "Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League, and five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-Smile Award." |

An example of this is Guan Yu. In 1614, the Wanli Emperor bestowed on Guan Yu the title "Holy Emperor Guan, the Great God Who Subdues Demons in the Three Worlds and Whose Awe Spreads Far and Moves Heaven". During the Qing dynasty, the Shunzhi Emperor gave Guan Yu the title of "Guan, the Loyal and Righteous God of War, the Holy Great Deity" in 1644. This title was expanded to "Guan the Holy Great Deity; God of War Manifesting Benevolence, Bravery and Prestige; Protector of the Country and Defender of the People; Prow and Honest Supporter of Peace and Reconciliation; Promoter of Morality, Loyalty and Righteousness", a total of 24 Chinese characters, by the mid-19th century. | |

The Dresden Files: In one of the short stories, Harry is introduced as :Harry Dresden, magus, a commander of the Order of the Grey Cloak, sometime mortal Champion of Queen Mab and Esquire of the Court of Queen Titania." Even more amazing? Every single one of those titles is a major plot point. He's also known as "the Pizza Lord." That's the title that earned him an army. | |

BattleTech Expanded Universe: In one of the novels, this is deliberately done by two of the protagonists at a state event as a lead-up to a massive wedding, just to stir up some drama. One is a war hero whose brother is an elite intelligence officer for the other side, and the other is a legendary mercenary Mechwarrior officer has been in self-imposed exile for eleven years. The former, of lower military and social standing, solely gets his rank announced, to little fanfare. The latter, being famous and infamous across more than half of the known galaxy, brings the entire room to complete dead silence and stillness when his name, titles, and ranks are called out, especially considering his part in personally destroying the political intrigues of around a good fifth of the guests present: Baron von Arc-Royal, Member of the Order of the Tamar Tigers, Knight Defender of the Draconis March, Regimental Holder of the Order of St. George, Colonel Morgan Kell of the Kell Hounds. Another series of books, the Camacho's Caballeros trilogy by Victor Milan, had a recurring member of the regiment who fit this trope. Lieutenant Senior Grade Father Doctor Roberto "Call me Bob" Garcia, psychologist, sociologist, MechWarrior. |

Discworld: Pyramids: "His Greatness the King Pteppicymon XXVIII, Lord of the Heavens, Charioteer of the Wagon of the Sun, Steersman of the Barque of the Sun, Guardian of the Secret Knowledge, Lord of the Horizon, Keeper of the Way, the Flail of Mercy, the High-Born One, the Never-Dying King." He prefers "Teppic", but his vizier insists on reading out the full list every time. The Fifth Elephant: "Ambassador Extraordinary to Uberwald, His Excellency, His Grace Sir Samuel Vimes, Duke of Ankh-Morpork, Commander of the City Watch, King of the River, Blackboard Monitor." Mort: "The Stealer of Souls, Defeater of Empires, Swallower of Oceans, Thief of Years, The Ultimate Reality, Harvester of Mankind, the" All right, all right. I can see myself in "Queen Kelirehenna I, Lord of Sto Lat, Protector of the Eight Protectorates and Empress of the Long Thin Debated Piece Hubwards of Sto Kerrig." A reference to Queen Elizabeth, whose titles were even longer. (See Real Life below) Vampires tend to collect names and titles as a hobby, though we've never been privy to a full one, mostly because they take up pages. Rincewind simultaneously holds at least eighteen different posts at Unseen University, most of which are meaningless titles that nobody wanted; he is most commonly known as the "Assistant Librarian and Egregious Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography." Ponder Stibbons holds another twelve posts but in his case, the positions are ones that involve actual work and have some importance — Ponder's many jobs mean that he reports to himself and has more votes on the university council than everyone else combined. From Unseen Academicals, we get Professor Macarona note D.Thau (Bug), D.Maus (Chubb), Magistaludorum (QIS), Octavium (Hons), PHGK (Blit), DMSK, Mack, D.Thau (Bra), Visiting Professor in Chickens (Jahn the Conqueror University [Floor 2, Shrimp Packer's Building, Genua]), Primo Octo (Deux), Visiting Professor in Blit/Slood Exchanges (Al Khali), KCgfJ, Peciprocating Professor of Blit Theory (Unki), D.Thau (Unki), Didimus Supremius (Unki), Emeritus Professor in Blit Substitute Determinations (Chubb), Chair of Blit and Music Studies (Quirm College for Young Ladies) Becomes an Overly Long Gag when he insists the cheerleaders use his entire title, resulting in a simple cheer that takes up more than a page. Averted by founder of the Agatean Empire One Sun Mirror. He was considered so awesome, he crossed the Bishōnen Line of Long List titles and was known simply as One Sun Mirror. Not even his tomb gives his titles—anyone who is in a position to find his tomb is going to know who he is just from the name alone. Rather like Zhao Zheng, King of Qin and uniter/conqueror of China, styling himself simply "Shih Huangdi" (First Emperor). Says it all. (He intended for all later emperors for all time to be styled Second Emperor, Third Emperor, etc., but there never was a Fourth — the Qin dynasty fell and later dynasties did not follow the practice.) In Raising Steam, we officially have "His Grace, His Excellence, His Blackboard-Monitorship, the Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, Lord of Ramkin Hall, King of the River." It is mentioned at the end of the book that Vetinari has run out of titles to give him! The Assassins' Guild Diary describes Vetinari having about eight Guild degrees, including "Doctor of Applied Pathology." He's also Provost of Assassins. |

In User Unfriendly by Vivian Vande Velde, dwarf characters in the Rasmussem virtual reality game introduce themselves by listing their name and title, followed by the names and titles of all their ancestors. For example, the dwarf member of the party is "Feordin Macewielder, son of Feordan Sturdyaxe, grandson of Feordane Boldheart, brother to Feordone the Fearless, great-grandson of Feordine Stoutarm who served under Graggaman Maximus". After he is first introduced, the protagonist points out that this is a relatively short list of titles for a dwarf in the setting. | |

In Everworld the gods of Egypt are especially prone to this—Sobek won't even talk to you unless you address him as "Lord Sobek, god of the crocodiles of the Nile, called Rager, son of Seth and his consort Neith, called the nurse of crocodiles." Ra also has so many variants that a priest spends five full minutes listing them before the protagonists are led away; the priest stands there listing them anyway because the ritual is more important than their actual presence. | |

Player aside, there's also Saint Jiub the Eradicator: Hero of Morrowind and Savior of the Dunmer, who may be encountered during the Dawnguard questline and who doesn't appreciate the suggestion that a shorter title might make his book catchier. |

Iron Kingdoms: In WARMACHINE/HORDES, there is the Farrow Warlock called Lord Carver, Bringer of Most Massive Destruction, Esquire, the Third, Minion Farrow Warlock. It's abbreviated as Lord Carver, BMMD, Esq. III on his tracker/spell cards, and it still barely fits. | |

Schlock Mercenary: "Lota, Longshoreman of the Apocalypse, Hero of the Stationwaist, Foodlord of the Eatonrun, Portlord of the Poles, Grand Marshall, and King of the Second Age of the Free City State of Credomar." You may use pronouns, but only occasionally. Keep in mind that "Longshoreman of the Apocalypse" is not a title — it's LOTAs given name. Another AI ruler is "Chinook, Keeper of the Acid Hammer and the Alkali Anvil, Mind of the Spindle, Minder of the World, Goodness made Manifest, and Goddess of Sea, Soil and Sky." |

In episode 51 of Soul Eater, Asura asks Maka just who she is. She replies "Academy Student Maka Albarn, one-star scythemeister". However, in the manga, it's a lot more complicated than that. An art book calls her "Maka Albarn, Meister to Death Scythe Soul Eater Evans". After completing her Deathscythe and joining Spartoi, it would be more like "Shibusen Spartoi Captain Maka Albarn, two-star Grigori Deathscythemeister to Soul Eater Evans". | |

Red Dwarf: Rimmer, sad pathetic weasel of a man that he is, would give his full title as Arnold J. Rimmer, BSc, SSc —in this case they stand for Bronze Swimming Certificate and Silver Swimming Certificate. This is made even worse when it's stated in one episode that he can't swim, meaning he was self-aggrandizing with forged/stolen swimming certificates, of all things! | |

Exalted: The Celestial Bureaucracy is made of this trope. Just for reference, terms like the Bureau of Destiny? Those are the unofficial names; the real name is Most Excellent Designers of Destiny and Sidereal Conjunctions, and the rest of the Bureaucracy has similarly lengthy and grandiose titles. Deathlords also really enjoy this. The Princess Magnificent with Lips of Coral and Robes of Black Feathers would be the stand-out, and it's small wonder she's simply referred to as Princess Birdhat by the fans. Autochthonia probably takes the cake, though, at least with one of the major segments of society: "The Five Magnificent Sodalities of Penultimate Truth and Intransigent Gospel", a machine priesthood (complete with reciting long prayers to the Great Maker before so much as turning on a light). Each of said Five Magnificent Sodalities has its own flowery name: the aforementioned lamp-lighters are properly referred to as "The Glorious Luminors of the Brilliant Rapture", for example. |

My Family and Other Equestrians has the way King Sombra refers to himself in the introduction of the book Blade Star reads in chapter 57: "Written by His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty, High King Sombra the Great. Sole Ruler and Emperor of the Grand Imperial Crystal Empire, and the Dominions, Territories and Dependents of the same. Commander in Chief of His Most Imperial Majesty's Forces by Land and by Sea. First Minister of Imperial Crystal Legislature, Head of the Privy Council and High Lord of the Grand Judiciary and Star Chamber of the same. Governor of the Imperial First City of the Crystal Empire. Holder of the Glorious Crystal Heart and Master of the Forbidden Crystal Palace..." It keeps going for four pages! To be fair, a common way to refer to royalty 1000 years ago was by adding lots of titles to them, and royalty such as the Queen of England still do that today, see the Real Life examples below. |

A later book in The Lost Fleet series gives us one "His Excellency Captain Commodore First Rank Stellar Guard of the Fist of the People Earun Tavistorevas, Paramount of the Shield of Sol," commander of a small and not very impressive taskforce of warships "guarding" the Sol system from the supposed aggression of The Alliance, who built a hyperspace gate there without securing the necessary planning permission.note Considering what happens when a hyperspace gate gets blown up, which the Alliance didn't find out until much later they might have had a point in hindsight. He gets very tetchy when Admiral Geary shortens his title to the more manageable "Captain-Commodore Tavistorevas", and the conversation just goes downhill from there. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Gnomes, or at least the ones from Dragonlance, are said to collect names like some people collect stamps. They start out with a birth name and a family name, then get a childhood nickname, adult name, and any earned nicknames along the way. Their towns are named in a similar fashion. The capital's name is "Mount Nevermind", "nevermind" being what a human ambassador hastily interrupted with when he made the mistake of asking what the gnomes called it. The Forgotten Realms setting has the desert region of Calimshan, where names and titles are a matter of pride. A Calishite name would start by listing the person's titles from greatest importance to least, and then their given name, the name of their parents, the family name, and the name of their hometown, in that order. In a formal setting, it's customary to address a Calishite with as long and complete a name as possible. People in the higher classes often have an abundance of titles, to the point that many choose to omit them for the sake of brevity, performing an annuv gesture in place of each title omitted. |

In Dwarf Fortress, this can happen to just about anything if they kill enough, even animals. Also in DF, when you encounter a demon in adventure mode they will give a huge list of titles, names, and deeds when they introduce themselves (before lighting you on fire and beating you to death with their elf bone crown.) | |

I was the slayer of a Pharaoh, six millennia past. I was exiled to the farthest star for my crime, but made my way back to Earth, where I made war against the wizard's late-coming allies, those who were called Marvels. Mine is the endurance of Shu, the strength of Hershef, the power of Amon, the wisdom of Zehuti, the speed of Anpu, and the courage of Menthu." | |

Averted by founder of the Agatean Empire One Sun Mirror. He was considered so awesome, he crossed the Bishōnen Line of Long List titles and was known simply as One Sun Mirror. Not even his tomb gives his titles—anyone who is in a position to find his tomb is going to know who he is just from the name alone. Rather like Zhao Zheng, King of Qin and uniter/conqueror of China, styling himself simply "Shih Huangdi" (First Emperor). Says it all. (He intended for all later emperors for all time to be styled Second Emperor, Third Emperor, etc., but there never was a Fourth — the Qin dynasty fell and later dynasties did not follow the practice.) |

On Noveria in Mass Effect, you find an irritating (even for a salarian) administrator named Rannadril Ghan Swa Fulsoom Karaten Narr Eadi Bel Anoleis. He apparently sees himself as the big shot in the port city where you land, but later you have the option of busting him for corruption. A salarian's full name consists (in order) of homeworld, nation, city, district, clan name, and given name. However, they usually shorten them when dealing with other races. | |

In the Book of Isaiah in The Bible, a child (taken by many Christians to be a prophesy of Christ) is described as follows (NIV): "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." This is lampshaded in Barbara Robinson's book The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Upon hearing the verse, a young child shouts, "My God! He'd never make it through the third grade if he had to write all that!" In Paul's epistles, he typically introduces himself by variations of the relatively short "Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God". But in his letter to the Romans, he really rambles on: |

Gulliver's Travels: "Golbasto Momarem Evlame Gurdilo Shefin Mully Ully Gue, most mighty Emperor of Lilliput, delight and terror of the universe, whose dominions extend five thousand blustrugs [about twelve miles in circumference] to the extremities of the globe; monarch of all monarchs, taller than the sons of men; whose feet press down to the centre, and whose head strikes against the sun; at whose nod the princes of the earth shake their knees; pleasant as the spring, comfortable as the summer, fruitful as autumn, dreadful as winter." | |

A Boy, a Girl and a Dog: The Leithian Script: As Luthien tells it, the name of the giant wolf Carcharoth — meaning "Red Maw" — is a real shortened version of what he calls himself, which is a long list of titles and boasts about how fearsome and monstrous he is. | |

In The Mikado, Pooh-Bah is: Master of the Rolls, Master of the Buckhounds, Groom of the Backstairs, First Lord of the Treasury, Solicitor, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney-General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, Lord Chief Justice, Leader of the Opposition, Paymaster-General, Lord High Auditor, Archbishop of Titipu, First Commissioner of Police, Private Secretary, Groom of the Second Floor Front, Lord Mayor and Judge Ordinary. Indeed the only position in city government he does not hold is that of Lord High Executioner; his shorter title is Lord High Everything Else. Modern productions like to add some titles, to introduce more contemporary humour. Examples would be Director of Homeland Security or Husband of Elizabeth Taylor. | |

This is also why Star Wars: The Old Republic only allows you to display one title and one legacy title. Otherwise, (even suppressing legacy titles and faction-specific titles), a player could be Big Time Drouk Hunter Warstalker Unlucky Lucky Minesweeper Dread Slayer Pilot Dragonslayer Elite Warlord <name> Rakghoul's Bane, Red Rhombus, the Throne Breaker, the Infernal, the Unyielding, the Resurgent, the Furious, the Eternal Warrior, from Beyond. | |

All of the Crimson Demon Clan in KonoSuba introduce themselves by listing off as many titles they think they can get away with while adopting whatever cool poses they can think of. However, as the clan is centralized in a relatively small village most can only get out the type of magic they specialize in, and something along the lines of "Proprietor of the Foremost Bakerey", "Future Author", or "Foremost Brother Lover". Interestingly this is considered a proper greeting and one member was relieved that Kazuma performed it correctly, unaware Kazuma was making fun of him. | |

An actual plot point in a quest in RuneScape where the full title of a pharaoh queen you must restore is so long, the modern copy is inaccurate and you must obtain the original. And just for fun, while like most other games only a single title can be displayed at a time, only including highest-tier titles from quest storylines, the player can be known as: Vyrelord, Artful Dodger, Archmage, Tzhaar, the Annihilator, the Gallant, the Valiant, the Pious, the Prepared, the Champion, the Swindler, of the Myreque, of Vampyrium, the Enforcer, the Ultimate Quester, the World Guardian The achievement ones, if you may: Bukalla's Heir, Pontifex, Supreme Defender, Tenacity of Zarytes, Swiftness of the Aviansie, Strength of Ourgs, Finesse of the Icyene, the Last Rider, the Warden, the Warmonger, Banisher of Shadows, the Thunderous, the Defeater, the Faceless One, King of the Damned, the Ravensworn, the Liberator, the Lone Fury, the Boundless, the Fairest of Them All, Scion of Viggora, Scourge of the Wild, Warmaster of Bandos, Zilyana's Bane, the Penance Slayer, Master of All... you get the idea. |

In Flaky Pastry it seems that when an entire long-lived species consists of aristocrats, even relative outcasts like Zintiel accumulate a list of titles that takes 15 minutes to recite. And then we meet some of the royal family. |

Most rulers in The Wheel of Time tend to have these kinds of titles: The Amyrlin seat is: "Watcher of the Seals, the Flame of Tar Valon, the Amyrlin Seat." Rand is named a truly astonishing number of things, although some are carryovers from his last incarnation, Lews Therin Telamon. Altogether, he is: "The Dragon Reborn/The Dragon, the Coramoor, The Car'a'carn, He Who Comes With the Dawn, Shadowkiller, King of Illian, Blademaster, Founder of the Black Tower, Summoner of the Rods of Dominion, Bearer of the Ring of Tamyrlin, First Among Servants, The Promised One, Champion of the Light, Lord of the Morning, Prince of the Dawn, True Defender of Light." He actually sometimes intentionally introduces himself with none of them whatsoever, using simply his name or perhaps just his primary title, in a display which seems to simply intensify the effect and make people even more conscious of just how much of the Westland is under his control (answer, around half-ish). The Queen of Andor is styled as " [Name], by the Grace of the Light, Queen of Andor, Defender of the Realm, Protector of the People, High Seat of House [Surname]." Lampshaded as being a predilection chiefly of the southern monarchs; the northern ones, particularly on the Borderlands, tend to avert this. Lan is this trope though—al'Lan Mandragoran, Lord of the Seven Towers, Lord of the Lakes, True Blade of Malkier, Defender of the Wall of First Fires, Bearer of the Sword of the Thousand Lakes, May He Sever the Shadow, Warder to Moiraine Sedai of the Blue Ajah / Nynaeve Sedai of the Yellow Ajah—but he almost never uses his doorstopper title. |

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind: Leaving aside the optional joinable factions, the Nerevarine is Nerevarine and Hortator (of House Hlaalu, House Redoran and House Telvanni), Hearthfriend of the Ashlanders, Bloodskaal to the Skaal and Operative in the Blades (although that last is supposed to be secret and so not actually put on a business card). If optional joinable factions are included, this is easily doubled: Factor in the East Empire Company, Master of the Fighters Guild, Primate of the Imperial Cult, Knight of the Imperial Dragon in the Imperial Legion's Order of Ebonheart, Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild, Master Thief of the Thieves Guild, Grandmaster of the Morag Tong, Patriarch of the Tribunal Temple and either Archmagister of House Telvanni, Archmaster of House Redoran or Grandmaster of House Hlaalu). In the backstory, the Dwemer architect who devised a method and the tools necessary to tap into the Heart of Lorkhan, Kagrenac, had such a title: Chief Tonal Architect, Magecrafter, High Priest, High Engineer, Arcane Philosopher, and Pioneer in the field of Mythopeic Forces. Oblivion: Quoting from the Dude, Where's My Respect? page, "Hello, I'm Sheogorath, Prince of Madness and Lord of the Shivering Isles, Archmage of the Mages' Guild, Master of the Fighters Guild, Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, Gray Fox of the Thieves Guild, Grand Champion of the Arena, The Hero of Kvatch, Savior of Bruma, Champion of Cyrodiil, and Divine Crusader. I wear the infinity plus one armor of Nigh-Invulnerability, my spells can bring doom to anything in my path, my sword will eat your soul, and I will summon a greater daedra to beat the shit out of you." Skyrim: If all DLC is installed, the Dragonborn can become Stormcrown; Ysmir, Dragon of the North, the Lastborn of Akatosh; slayer of Alduin; Harbinger of the Companions; Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold; Listener of the Dark Brotherhood; Guildmaster of the Thieves' Guild and Nightingale of Nocturnal; Thane of each of the nine holds in Skyrim; Hero of the Stormcloaks or Legate of the Imperial Legion; Agent of Mara; Agent of Dibella; "Qahnariin"note ("Vanquisher" in the dragon language); Champion of various Daedric Princes; honorary member of House Telvanni; warrior of the Dawnguard or Lord/Lady of Clan Volkihar; Friend of the Skaal of Solstheim; Chief of the Rieklings of Thirsk Hall; and Member of the Bards' College. Player aside, there's also Saint Jiub the Eradicator: Hero of Morrowind and Savior of the Dunmer, who may be encountered during the Dawnguard questline and who doesn't appreciate the suggestion that a shorter title might make his book catchier. |

Parodied in Kaamelott. Merlin explains that when two enchanters have a Wizard Duel, it's traditional for them to use all their titles beforehand. However, he cuts it short when he realizes Elias's list is much more impressive. | |

If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device: The Emperor's Custodians earn middle names each time they do magnificent deeds. Captain-General "Kitten" has a ridiculously long list of middle names that he earned from having to do all of his unit's actual work for the last 10,000 years. It's implied to have gone on for several minutes before the audience was let in on the gag, and he only got halfway to his last name. | |

Game of Thrones: Lampshaded by King Robert Baratheon. Lying on his deathbed and dictating his will to Ned Stark, he realises he's going to have to list the stupidly long train of titles that officially follow his name (see above: Literature: A Song of Ice and Fire), which results in this chuckle-worthy line: Later lampshaded by Littlefinger. When he becomes Lord of Harrenhal, upon learning of the other titles his arranged marriage will associate him with, Littlefinger quips "Titles do seem to breed titles." Played perfectly straight by Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Defender of the Faith, Princess of Dragonstone, Liberator of Astapor and Yunkai, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons. Unusually for this trope, in addition to her inherited titles, several of these are titles that we have actually seen Daenerys earn personally over the course of the series. That's why her list is a little longer. Her titles are basically a summary of her story arc. She has so many that Missandei, who is usually the one announcing all these titles, has been known to mix up the order on occasion. Jon Snow, to a lesser extent. Jon Snow, King in the North and the Vale, Lord of Winterfell, The Man Who Returned From The Dead, The White Wolf, 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and, quite possibly, Rightful King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men. However, when Jon Snow finally does meet Queen Daenerys, there's a comic sequence when he and Davos Seaworth listen to her by then looong list of titles, only for Davos to introduce Jon lamely, "This is Jon Snow... he's King in the North.". Davos isn't one for standing on ceremony. It also underscores the fact that Daenerys is in Westeros now where her Essos titles do not mean much and she has not really earned her Westeros titles yet. Jon being King in the North is a very big deal and he does not need much more to establish who he is. Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Hand of the King and Savior of the City, which is ironic considering the previous time he led an army to King's Landing was to sack it. In the books, he also holds the honorific title of Shield of Lannisport. Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, Lord of Highgarden, Lord Paramount of the Reach, and Master of Coin. Or as Davos calls him, "Lord of Lofty Titles". |

Warhammer: Warhammer 40,000: The Chaos Marine Lord Lufgt Huron has acquired many titles over his years of rebellion and piracy including the Tyrant of Badab, the Blackheart, Master of the Red Corsairs, Lord of the Maelstrom, the Blood Reaver. The Chaos God Tzeentch has more titles than his brother gods including the Architect of Fate, the Changer of the Ways, the Great Conspirator, the Great Mutator, the Great Schemer, the Master of Fortune and the Trickster Supreme. Warhammer Fantasy: Tomb Kings tend to accumulate these over long lives and centuries of unlife. The first and greatest of them, Settra, has a list that it takes his herald two hours to recite, usually shortened to "the Imperishable". The Ogre Kingdoms are led by Overtyrant Greasus Goldtooth, or to give him his full title, Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese. Archaon the Everchosen, the current Everchosen of the forces of Chaos and a strong contender for the Big Bad of the setting, has quite a few titles, with Everchosen simply being the most important. They include Lord of the End Times, Chaos Incarnate, Herald of the Apocalypse, Warlord of the forces of Chaos United, Scourge of the Empire, Destroyer of Worlds, and most recently also Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse. In a Badass Boast he once gave, he also called himself the Anointed, the Favored Son of Chaos, the Scourge of the World. The full title of the leader of the Empire is Karl Franz I von Holswig-Schliestein, Protector of the Empire, Defier of the Dark, Emperor Himself and the Son of Emperors, Elector Count of Reikland, Prince of Altdorf and Count of the West March. |

Shin Godzilla: A Running Gag throughout the film is Rando Yaguchi (the main protagonist) getting more and more ranks in the Japanese government as the situation regarding Godzilla escalates, and all of these ranks being shown on-screen as Boss Subtitles. By the time the movie hits its climax, Yaguchi's entire list of assigned jobs is so big that it doesn't even fit the movie screen, let alone a business card — it's all a huge splotch of barely-understandable Kanji. | |

The King Nobody Wanted: Zor Alexi of Sarnor is introduced by Lok of Far Ib as "Lord of the Silver Hall, Master of the Two Hundred Gates, Chanter of the Names of the Thirtyfold Thirty Gods, the Pearl Beyond Price, the Thread Which Does Not Diminish, Friend to the Supplicant, Staff to the Needy, He Who Is, First Lord of Saath, and High Prince of the Sarnor". This apparently an abbreviated list of his full titles, and serves as an ironic highlighting of Sarnor's downfallen and very diminished state. During a later meeting, Zor Dmitri gives a few more... "Prince of the Line Illustrious, Son of Mishka, Grandson of Zor Fyodor, Blood of the High Kings, Heir to the Line Regnal", and by Alexi's account, there are still more. Zor Dmitri demonstrates this is a trait of Sarnori nobles, giving his list of titles as "Lord of the Halls of Battle, Shield to His People, Scourge to His Foes, Speaker of the Name of Victory, Prince of the Line Triumphant, Son of Zor Yaropolk, Grandson of Zor Olag, the Sword of Battle, the Arrow That Does Not Miss, Breaker of Bones, Crusher of Wills, He Whose Hands Are Red, Blood of the Fated, First Lord and Sovereign of Mardosh." The head of House Saan is titled "Prince of the Narrow Sea, Master of the Last Lonely House, Heir to the Glory, Keeper of the Flame, Sovereign of the Waters, First and Last of the First and Last House of the Glorious Freehold of Valyria". And they aren't above acquiring more titles. |

Galavant: At the end of season 1, King Richard's older brother, Kingsley, has returned from self-imposed exile, driven out Richard, and claimed his throne. When Richard's bodyguard, Gareth, is trying to explain why he let Richard escape, Richard's wife, Queen Madalena, gets tired of Kingsley and stabs him in the back. Gareth takes his place, and by the first episode of season 2 his official title has become the guy who was with the queen when she killed the guy who was kinda the king. And everyone refers to him that way every time. By the end of the episode, Madalena lets him officially become king just to make his title easier. | |

In The Locked Tomb the Emperor of the Nine Houses has had ten thousand years to accumulate titles. The full list is never said, but includes: "The Man Who Became God and the God Who Became Man, The King Undying, the Necrolord Prime, God, the Resurrector, Kindly Prince of Death, the Necromancer Divine, His Celestial Kindliness, Lord of the Sharpest Edge, Ransomer of Death, Scourge of Death, Vindicator of Death, the First Reborn." Harrow is somewhat disappointed to learn his actual name is John. | |

The Pretenders of Dominions are assigned titles after their name dependent on a variety of factors known and unknown, including magic skills, form, and scales. So a god's full name can stretch to something like, to give an actual example, Manvale, Lord of Fear and Trembling, King of Suicides, the One Always at the Shoulder, Guardian of the Dead, Lord of Plagues. | |

John Carter of Mars has numerous egotistical Evil Overlords as villains, which results in more than a few of these floating around. Particularly notable is the High Priest of the Path of Inspiration: "Matai Shang, Holy Hekkador of the Holy Therns, Father of the Therns, Brother of Issus, Master of Life and Death Upon Barsoom." The self-deified Issus is supposed to have over ninety titles, though mercifully only one (Goddess of Life Eternal) is generally used. John Carter himself is "Dotar Sojat Chieftain of the Tharks, Prince of Helium, Jeddak of Jeddaks, Warlord of Mars." |

I'm what children see when they first imagine what death is like...") Eventually he gets so tired of saying it that he literally has it printed a business card. The guy at the print shop just assumes he's a wrestler and it's part of his gimmick. WildStorm even printed a batch of the cards and handed them out at comic cons. | |

In The Culture novel Surface Detail, we have the Geseptian-Fardesile Cultural Federacy officer "The Most Honourable Heritably Concurrent Delegated Vice-Emissary Legislator-Admiral Elect Battlescroy-Bisspe-Blispin III of Turwentire." The narrator notes that this is the short version, omitting his qualifications and medals. (And also that, despite having such long titles, the GCFCians, adversarial admirers of the extremely egalitarian Culture, are slightly embarrassed to acknowledge they have any rank at all.) | |

In Line of Delirium, The Emperor has a number of titles that are typically recited at official events, including "Ruler of Endoria and Terra, Protector of Gorra, Guardian of Tauri, Sovereign of the colonies". The one title that no longer applies is "Father of the Three Sisters", as the three colonies of the Shedar System were invaded by the Sakkra and then bombarded with meson bombs on the Emperor's orders. | |

In the Sherlock Holmes story The Adventure of the Priory School, Watson comments that the man's asking them for help has too many honors for his business card. He's there on the behalf of a Duke; Holmes checks his reference book on current nobility and reads aloud thus: "'Holdernesse, 6th Duke. K.G., P.C.' — half the alphabet!" (note: positions were often abbreviated. So Justice of the Peace would be J.P.) "'Baron Beverly, Earl of Carston' — dear me, what a list! 'Lord Lieutenant of Hallamshire since 1900. Married Edith, daughter of Sir Charles Appledore, 188. Heir and only child, Lord Saltire. Owns about two hundred and fifty thousand acres. Minerals in Lancashire and Wales. Address: Carston House Terrace; Holdernesse Hall, Hallamshire; Carston Castle, Bangor., Wales. Lord of Admirality, 1872. Chief Secretary of State for' — Well, well, this man is certainly one of the greatest subjects of the Crown!" In "The Bruce-Partington Plans," Mycroft mentions "Sir James Walter, whose decorations and sub-titles fill two lines of a book of reference." |

The Hobbit: At one point, Bilbo makes a Badass Boast that consists of titles he claims, including "Clue Finder, Webcutter, Ringwinner, Luckwearer, He Who Walks Unseen, and Barrel Rider." Long after his death, Bilbo was turned into a fairy tale character known as "Mad Baggins". Tolkien was a scholar of medieval Germanic languages, a culture that used titles rather than surnames to distinguish historical figures (Olaf Skullsplitter and Njal the Burnt). Tolkien might have been suggesting that Bilbo is lapsing into the more "Norse" culture of Wilderland and starting to forget the "respectable Mr. Baggins" that he was at the start of his journey. Later in the story, he comes to regret recklessly naming himself; Smaug deduces from "Barrel Rider" that he'd come from Lake-town, leading him to attack the town. | |

Vampire: The Requiem: The Ordo Dracul loves long and florid titles that describe things like the supernatural abilities they've attained, their role in the Order's mystic research, and their political achievements. For example: Philosopher of the Burning Terror, Sworn of the Dying Light, Guardian of the Mountain, Kogaion of the City. They also Exploit this when outsiders are present by adding Spy Speak fake titles that pass covert information to other Ordo members. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. As her daughter Deanna deadpans in one episode: In the novel Star Trek: The Battle of Betazed, other Betazoid nobles are shown to have equally lengthy titles: Sark Enaran is the scion of the Fourth House of Betazed, Heir to the Blessed Books of Katara, and Holder of the Sacred Scepter of Betazed. Another Novel claims that this is what Betazoids have in lieu of surnames, so everyone on the planet introduces themselves like this. Memory Alpha's article on Worf introduces him as Worf—son of Mogh, of the Klingon House of Martok, of the Human family Rozhenko; mate to K'Ehleyr, father to Alexander Rozhenko, and husband to Jadzia Dax; Starfleet officer and soldier of the Empire; bane of the House of Duras; slayer of Gowron; Federation ambassador to Qo'noS. Strangely, they don't seem to open any other character articles this way. |
