* Maiev Shadowsong in ''{{Warcraft}} III: The Frozen Throne'' starts off as one, dedicating an exorbitant amount of time and energy into tracking down her former prisoner Illidan Stormrage. However, as the campaign goes on, she becomes increasingly determined to capture Illidan not for justice's sake, but to avenge the deaths of the Wardens who died guarding or trying to recapture Illidan, which leads to some very rash decisions and, eventually, her to being captured by the very man she was hunting. By the time ''The Burning Crusade'' expansion of WorldOfWarcraft rolls around, it's stopped being about justice and has become [[ItsPersonal very, very personal]], to the point of where she finally exacts her revenge...only to find she's got nothing left to live for afterwards.
** Fully subverted with her reappearance in the novel ''Wolfheart'', where her [[PrinciplesZealot Principles Zealotry]] leads her to turning against her own people, disgusted with them letting the Highbourne back into Night Elven society during her absence.
