The Hero is the destined prophesied one to slay the Evil Overlord, only for him to fail and die... only to reveal that the prophecy everyone knows about is just Act 1 of a three-part prophecy that explicitely stated that he was destined to fail... and then come back from the dead and finish what he started in killing the Evil Overlord... as part of a ThanatosGambit orchestrated ''by'' the Evil Overlord, the prophecy having been made and spread ''by'' the Evil overlord in the first place, with the reveal that the Chooser of the One and the Evil Overlord ''where the same person''.
