* IAmSkantarios: After Skantarios finally achieves his goals, he takes up the CallToAgriculture in the palace and tries to reconnect with the wife he hadn't seen for years. The garden quickly gains the nickname of "Imperial Desert", and Skantarios is more than happy to return to campaigning, recognizing that he simply isn't suited for anything else.
* Juvage suffers from this in PaganVengeance. Once he's finally killed the man responsible for his family's death (a very long journey that involved his being MadeASlave, then a hitman, then a warlord, then killing GenghisKhan and marrying his daughter before reuniting with his sister), he realizes his whole life is nothing but misery and violence. He orders his men to sack a city they didn't even need to, and the defenders BetterToDieThanBeKilledAttitude only confirms that viewpoint, and [[spoiler:asks his sister to kill the man responsible for it all, i.e. him. She refuses, so he forces her to do it with his captive biographer Constantin's help. She goes to die, her faith destroyed, and Juvage's army selfdestructs]] while Constantin escapes with Juvage's daughter in the hopes of giving her a good life, as he'd asked (it's implied Skantarios is descended from her, making him related to both Juvage and GenghisKhan).
* AScotsmanInEgypt: After defeating most of Scotland's immediate enemies, Domnall has a much easier life, even being called Domnall the Lewd (in jest). Up until he's given documents proving Denmark was indirectly responsible for the death of his father and uncle, prompting him to start a near-genocidal war against them. [[spoiler:It was a ruse by Aodh to get Domnall back into a military mindset, thankfully in time to beat the Ukrainians and later Timurids. He confesses to Domnall much later, and is reassured that his brother doesn't hold it against him]].
