History RedBaron / VideoGames

* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': The Servants often have their own titles, not surprising, considering they are all legendary heroes. The ones that get mentioned most often are Gilgamesh's "King of Heroes" and Saber's "[[spoiler:King of Knights]]". Saber also refers to Lancer as "Ireland's Hero of Light" when she figures out his true identity (Cú Chulainn).

* ''VisualNovel/LuxPain'': Aya mentions to Atsuki that he's known around [=PICUS=] as the Zero-Time Telepath for his rapid reaction to hostile situations.

* In ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG'', Seiji being the [[{{Bishonen}} pretty]] heir to a {{Yakuza}} family, alongside his proficiency at weeding out people's secrets and using them for blackmail, earned him the nickname 'Prince of Threats'.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'': Arcueid herself is referred to as the White Moon Princess by Nrvqsr, being the titular [[MeaningfulName Moon Princess]]. Most of the Dead Apostle Ancestors are known by some kind of title rather than their name. Roa was known as "The Serpent of Akasha", Nrvnqsr was given the name "Chaos" by the Church, the vampire that became a "[[{{Curse}} tatari]]" was known as "The Night of Wallachia". Others mentioned in supplementary materials include "Eclipse Princess of Black Blood" (Altrouge Brunestud), "The Dark Six" (true name unknown), "Demon of Stratovarius" (Fina-Blood Svelten), "The Lord of Predation"/"City Devourer" (Stanrobe Calhin), etc. In one of the side stories, Shiki himself has taken the name [[FutureBadass Satsujinki]] (殺人貴), a play on his name "Shiki" (志貴) and the word "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Murderer Demon]]" (殺人鬼).

** [[BountyHunter Samus Aran]] is merely referred to as "The Hunter" by the SpacePirates in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime''.

** The series' various divine beings typically have several, in addition to their [[IHaveManyNames many actual names]]. For example, Arkay, the God of Life and Death in the [[SaintlyChurch Nine Divines]] pantheon, is also known as the "Lord of the Wheel of Life", "the Mortal's God", and, more derogatorily, the "Old Knocker" in the old [[HornyVikings Nordic]] religion (where [[EverybodyHatesHades he is despised]] for giving mankind [[WeAreAsMayflies shorter lives]] than their hated rivals, [[LongLived the Mer (Elves)]]). The Red Barons of the other deities can be found listed on either the series' [[Characters/TheElderScrollsDivineBeings Divine Beings]] page or the series' [[Characters/TheElderScrollsDaedra Daedra]] page.

* Legate Lanius of ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' is known as The Monster of the East. [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking For]] [[BloodKnight good reason]].

** The Kilrathi Aces have a lot of these, not limited to: Bhurak Starkiller, Khajja the Fang/The Machine, Dahkhath (translates to 'Deathstroke') Bahktosh Redclaw, Kur Human-Killer, Bhuk Bloodmist, Kramm Deathfang, Naijji Fireclaw, and Marjakh Stalker. Many of them double as LukeNounverber.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': Kratos, the Ghost Of Sparta. A name the refers to his MarkOfShame, the ghost white ash permanently set into his skin for the crime of murdering his wife and daughter.

* James Raynor of ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' fame was once part of a Confederate military unit that earned the nickname of "Heaven's Devils" for their exploits during the Guild Wars. As if the name wasn't metal enough, they made a customized unit patch that consisted of TheGrimReaper holding [[GatlingGood a chaingun]] and SinisterScythe, standing atop [[NothingButSkulls a pile of skulls]]. Some of the tie-in comics go into how they got the name: liberating a Kel-Morian prisoner of war camp using prototype jet-pack-equipped armor, followed by blasting their way out in the Kel-Morians' own vehicles when the mission went south.

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' has Sergei Dragunov, "The White Angel of Death" -- possibly a nod towards [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Astiz Alfredo Astiz]], "The Blonde Angel of Death."

* Kazuma Kiryu, hero of the ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series, is known throughout the Japanese criminal underworld as the "Dragon of Dojima", a title he more than earned.
** His EvilCounterpart Goro Majima is known as "the Mad Dog of Shimano", a title which is also well-earned.
** There's also the other dragon from ''VideoGame/Yakuza2'', Ryuji Goda, who HatesBeingNicknamed "The Dragon of Kansai", as he feels there should only be one Dragon.
** In fact, just about EVERY Yakuza's got one nickname from [[TheGunslinger 18]]-[[GunsAkimbo Count]] [[TheBigGuy Saejima]] (or the Tiger of Sasai) to [[EmbarrassingNickname The Parasite]] [[CowboyCop of Kamurocho]] [[TheLancer Tanimura]].
** Humorously, despite having all the flashy nicknames, ''nobody'' is referred to these by the nicknames in the BossSubtitles. It's always the rank or role, or at times even nothing.

* ''VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves'' has a chapter in which the team must participate in a dogfighting contest held by a character known as the Black Baron.

* Iron Tager from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is known to some as the Red Devil, though he's not proud of it.
** Ragna the Bloodedge, also known as The Grim Reaper and [[spoiler: his brother]] Major Jin Kisaragi, the Hero of Ikaruga.

** Even before the beginning of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', the player character already has a reputation as "The Ashen Demon", while their father Jeralt is the legendary "Blade Breaker".

** Miquella himself (despite not being a boss) is called Miquella the Unalloyed; he is famous for the creation of unalloyed gold which due to AlchemyIsMagic being in full force for the game's worldbuilding, he's able to imbue with great powers of healing and life-giving that no other being in the setting can match. In 1.0 he was also called the Scion Empyrean, a DoubleMeaningTitle of his status as Marika's heir and his curse of eternal youth (a scion being either a member of a noble family or a young shoot of a plant).

** Radagon, the previous Elden Lord, is known as Radagon of the Golden Order due to his devotion to it.
** Malenia is called "the Severed" and "the Goddess of Rot", but she prefers "Blade of Miquella", (Miquella being her little brother) which is her boss title.

** [[CoolSword The Master Sword]], being a legend in its own right also has several titles across the franchise including "The Blade of Evil's Bane" and "The Sword that Seals the Darkness".

** In the starting area you may stumble upon an optional miniboss called the "Beastman of Farum Azula." Much later on you learn that [[spoiler: Farum Azula is actually a location. To be more specific, it's the home of the beastmen, meaning the beastman you fought in the early hours of the game was just ''a'' beastman ''from'' Farum Azula, [[SubvertedTrope not a legandary monster thereof]]]].

** Maliketh the Black Blade got his nickname because he wields a black sword [[spoiler: that contains the Rune of Death that he took from the Gloam-Eyed Queen]].

** Her daughter Ranni is simply "the Witch", but that means a lot more when you take into account it's by demigod standards.

** The two Astels you fight are "the Naturalborn of the Void" and "the Stars of Darkness" respectively.

** Malenia is called 'the Severed' and 'the Goddess of Rot', but she prefers 'Blade of Miquella', (Miquella being her little brother) which is her boss title.
** Malenia's half-brother Radahn is called the Starscourge, because he was such a good GravityMaster he could stop the movement of the stars.
** Godrick ''should'' have 'The Golden' as his Red Baron title (being the last of the Golden Lineage), but he's currently better known as 'The Grafted' for his habit of dismembering others to attach their limbs to himself.
** The big cane-wielding Omen who blocks your path in the early game is named Margit, and he's known as the Fell Omen. Spooky enough (especially since his goal is to kill Tarnished like yourself), but [[spoiler: his real name is Morgott, he's a demigod, and he has two other titles: the Veiled Monarch (how most of his subjects know him) and the Omen King (his boss title).]]
** Mohg is known as the Lord of Blood due to his invention of BloodMagic.
** Rykard is called the Lord of Blasphemy. He actually likes that title, which [[CardCarryingVillain says a lot about Rykard]].
** Maliketh the Black Blade got his nickname because he wields a black sword[[spoiler: that contains the Rune of Death he took from the Gloam-Eyed Queen]].

** Elemer of the Briar, for the spiky armor he wears (which deals damage if you roll into targets). He's also known as the Bell-Bearing Hunter.
** Renalla, Queen of the Full Moon, after her signature spell.
** Her daughter Ranni is simply 'the Witch', but that means a lot more when you take into account it's by demigod standards.
** Miniboss Loretta has two titles for her two boss fights: Royal Knight (as a white phantom) and Knight of the Haligtree (in person).
** The two Astels you fight are the Naturalborn of the Void and the Stars of Darkness.
** Patches' nickname in this game is The Untethered.
** The two D twins are the Hunter of the Dead and Beholder of Death.
** The dragons naturally get cool titles: Lichdragon Fortisax, Ancient Dragon Lanseax, and Dragonlord Placidusax- who once also held the title of Elden Lord.

* ''Franchise/Pokémon'': Invoked with Sword and Shield where after doing certain actions or catching a Pokémon that has one you can get marks which can range from, DRAGAPULT THE GALAR CHAMPION, to, Stuffle the early riser
