First example is Accuser of the Brethren, could connect to Never Accepted in His Hometown (though the second example is more affectionate than that)

When someone with a history with a character recognizes that person as a past role. Could be a stock phrase? Or maybe it's a different trope each time depending on the context?
Example, victim to reformed villain: "No matter how hard you try to convince the people, you'll always be the Red Baron to me."
Mentor to a hero after defeating the Big Bad: "They may think of you as the [hero name], but to me, you'll always be that scraggly kid from a decade ago."
