* Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'': Benvolio is an important character up until the end of act III, or in some versions, usually at the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. After that he's never seen or mentioned again. In some versions of the story he shows up at the very last scene but in most he just disappears. What happened to him? Did he decide to leave Verona? Or did Shakespeare just forget/ignore him?

** In the first quarto, Lord Montague reveals that Benvolio died off-stage. However, the topic of his death isn't dwelt upon and no other editions of ''Romeo and Juliet'' feature his death, which is why it is usually omitted.

* Reynaldo, in {{Hamlet}}, appears in one scene being given detailed instructions to watch Laertes and report his habits and misdeeds. He leaves and is never heard from again, even after Laertes comes back.
* In ''KingLear,'' The Fool is Lear's loyal companion when he is abandoned by everyone else, even braving the storm with him. He vanishes without a trace or mention after the third act. Some commentators regard the Fool as a functional replacement for Lear's loyal daughter Cordelia, who is banished in the first act and is reunited with her father in the fourth.
