* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' features a lot of these characters, even going so far as to include them on the RelationshipChart (typically through their relationships to still living [=NPCs=]). Given the game's themes about life and the ForeverWar the majority of characters are locked in, a lot is made about the influence the dead have on those who are still living. The Ouroboros party members also have some significant relationships to people that died long before the game starts, notably Joran, Nimue, and Miyabi. [[spoiler: Many of these relationships become complicated by the reveal that soldiers of Keves and Agnus reincarnate.]]

** Numerous characters from the backstory of the series have been dead for hundreds or even thousands of years prior to the events of the games, but their impact is still felt as a catalyst for those events. Notable examples include St. Alessia, [[FounderOfTheKingdom founder]] of the First Cyrodiilic Empire, whose pact with the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Eight (later Nine) Divines]] is felt on numerous occasions throughout the series, and [[GodEmperor Tiber Septim]], founder of the Third Cyrodiilic Empire (the current empire in the main series of games), who [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended after his death]] as [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Talos]], the Ninth Divine. Other examples can be found on the series's [[Characters/TheElderScrollsHistoricalFigures Historical Figures]] sub-page.
