* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': At the end of Volume 8, [[Characters/RWBYCinderFall Cinder Fall]] creates a plan to obtain her goals and kill a few supposed allies while she's at it. When Neo is left hanging from a pathway in the Void, Cinder steals the Relic of Knowledge from her belt and knocks her into the depths of the Void; while this also [[HeroKiller takes out Ruby]], who was dangling from Neo, the volume's stinger implies the fall isn't as lethal as Cinder thinks. She later uses the Relic of Creation to add more fire to the already burning Atlas; the scene cut to a trapped Watts implies that she used the Relic to try and kill him, too.

** Mixed with ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Kharn the Betrayer]] earned his name this way on Skalathrax. When night fell, the sub-subzero cold caused both sides to stop fighting and look for shelter. Kharn took offence at this lack of moral fiber and ran around setting the shelters on fire, regardless of who was in them. Through this act, Kharn singlehandedly destroyed both the World Eaters' and the Emperor's Children ability to function as a unified force (limiting them to mercenary work or small warbands), was chosen as Khorne's immortal champion, and was given the {{Fanon}} [[MemeticPsychopath reputation]] of a PsychopathicManchild who sticks melta bombs on troop transports for fun.
*** He never stopped, either. His model's rules state that he will hit any enemy in melee combat on a die roll of 2+; if he's going solo he'll just miss the enemy on a roll of 1, but if he's in a unit at the time [[UnfriendlyFire any rolls of 1 will be allocated to friendly models instead]].

He's the greatest of [[WarGod Khorne's]] [[TheBerserker berzerkers]], who aren't choosy about where the blood comes from so long as it flows, but what earned him his name this way on Skalathrax.

Kharn took offence at this lack Battle of moral fiber and ran around setting the shelters on fire, regardless of who was in them. Through this act, Kharn singlehandedly destroyed both the Skalathrax. The World Eaters' Eaters and the Emperor's Children ability traitor legions were fighting one another on a Daemon World, when an unnatural blizzard fierce enough to function as a unified force (limiting them to mercenary work or small warbands), give even daemon-worshiping {{Super Soldier}}s pause made both sides take shelter. Kharn was chosen enraged that the fighting had stopped, and so took up a flamethrower and torched every "hiding hole" he came across, driving both legions to compete for the remaining cover in an orgy of fratricidal bloodletting. This shattered the World Eaters and Emperor's Children into countless antagonistic warbands, but as far as Khorne's immortal champion, and followers are concerned, Kharn was given entirely in the {{Fanon}} [[MemeticPsychopath reputation]] of a PsychopathicManchild who sticks melta bombs on troop transports for fun.
*** He never stopped, either. His model's
right. Kharn's reputation is borne out in his rules state that he will hit any enemy -- in a mixed melee combat on a die roll of 2+; if he's going solo he'll just miss the enemy on a roll of 1, but if he's in a unit at the time he ''never'' misses, [[UnfriendlyFire any rolls but each of 1 will be allocated to friendly models instead]].his attacks has a 1-in-6 chance of being resolved against a teammate.]]
