* The '''Portal''' series: In {{Portal}} there are only two characters: Chell and GLaDOS. In Portal2 we are introduced to Wheatley, and we get to know more about Cave Johnson, founder of Aperture Science, and his initially assistant and later wife, Caroline. But there is another character that not only is common to both games, but is also ''crucial'' to the story, as if without his actions, there would have been no story at all; and yet we never get to see him - but we find references to him and his work everywhere: I'm talking about [[MysteriousProtector The Ratman]]. Doug Rattman was a scientist working in the GLaDOS project, and became the only survivor after GLaDOS gassed everyone with Neurotoxins. He then managed to stay alive for several years, living in hiding, moving through the facilities using secret passages; and eventually manages to start the events that lead to Chell facing GLaDOS, and all that happens afterwards. In fact, he is so a HeroOfAnotherStory that he actually does have [[http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/#26 his own story]]

** In ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', there are hints of adventures that the other members of the Fellowship had before meeting the hobbits at Rivendell, such as Aragorn's capture of Gollum, or Gandalf's escape from the Ringwraiths. At one point, Sam wonders if Gollum thinks he's the hero of his own story.
** Both stories focus on the exploits of Gandalf, who is only one of five wizards who were sent into the world by the PowersThatBe, each with missions of great importance to all of Middle-Earth. Little is known of what Saruman did before he became evil, and Radagast is only mentioned fleetingly. The other two wizards, Alatar and Pallando, are not even named in the main trilogy but it is mentioned elsewhere that their actions in the East were crucial in weakening Sauron's forces.
** There's also the battles at Lothlórien and Dale, which are briefly mentioned and correspond closely with the battles at Minas Tirith. The latter one beneath the Lonely Mountain is stated to be the largest one of them all because of its close proximity to Sauron's Easterling forces.
** Overall, the entire northern arm of the War of the Ring is only briefly described in the books, despite its importance in diverting a large portion of Sauron's strength from Lórien, Rivendell, and Gondor. The Men of Dale and the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain gave their southern allies the time that they needed to fight off Sauron's primary forces and destroy the One Ring.
