SuperTrope of GloryHound. However, there is an important distinction between the two: A {{Glory Seeker}} [[InHarmsWay would happily get themselves]] [[MartyrdomCulture killed in pursuit of glory]], while a {{Glory Hound}} would [[MoralEventHorizon happily get countless others killed]] [[WhatMeasureIsAMook in pursuit of glory]], [[TheSociopath often with no remorse]], bonus points for stealing the glory that others have legitimately earned, {{disproportionate retribution}} on those opposing their plans, or engaging in {{chronic backstabbing disorder}}.

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'': The Slaves To Darkness are a particularly dark example of this trope; their philosophy, known as the Path To Glory, revolves around performing increasingly spectacular (and horrifying) acts of violence and martial prowess to get the attention of the Dark Gods. Low level fighters are known as Gloryseekers, and battlehardened veterans are known as Exalted. The ultimate goal is to gain so much favor from the gods that they "reward" you by turning you into a Daemon Prince.

[[folder:Mythology and Religion]]
* One of the keystone tropes of Myth/ClassicalMythology. A textbook example is the story of Heracles, who during his attack on Troy, saw that another hero, Telamon, broke through the city walls before him. He almost killed the poor guy before Telamon, seeing Heracles' expression, started gathering stones from the ground. Heracles, surprised, paused and asked what he's doing, to which Telamon replied "Why, don't you think the great Heracles, conqueror of Troy, deserves an altar to be built in his honor?"

* A lot of famous explorers, mountaineers, and participants in similar recreations might qualify.
* Some [[SemperFi famous military units]] seek out these kind of people.
** Many others, however, actively discourage this sort of thing; the line between this trope and GloryHound can be awfully fine, and Glory Hounds tend not to make good soldiers.

* ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'': Ranma Saotome admits to himself that he's embraced pursuing fame and glory as a pirate captain, despite this being entirely secondary to his goal of finding the One Piece to get back to Nerima, because it's an opportunity to build a reputation that has been defined entirely by his own deeds and character. This is in contrast to his life in Nerima, where his reputation was heavily overshadowed by his GenderBender curse (which had earned him a reputation as a freak and pervert) and his associations with his dad Genma (a cowardly thief) and Happosai (a lecherous bullying thief).

St. Augustine has no respect for this approach to life, calling it a search for shame and death of the spirit.
