* The ''{{Diablo}}'' games rely heavily on these. 
** Several of the villains from ''[[{{Diablo}} Diablo II]]'' are actually [[spoiler:the heroes from the first game. The Rogue is now an undead harpy in the monastery graveyard, the Sorcerer is a mad summoner living in a PocketDimension in the desert, and the Warrior has been possessed by Diablo]]. What makes it generic is that you could have [[spoiler:played the first game with any one of those characters or any combination of them in multiplayer]]. Yet the sequel still implies that all three of them were there. 
** In ''DiabloIII'', read any of Cain's journals that you can get your hands on, and he'll describe the events of the previous game, including a generic "band of heroes". However, there are some less-generic references here and there, depicting certain player classes as having been in that band of heroes:
*** Part of the opening cinematic has scenes from Cain's sketchbook, showing the Necromancer and the Amazon in a scene from D2. 
*** You meet [[spoiler:a necromancer who tells you about how his mentor defeated the Prime Evils twenty years ago]]. It's still a bit generic because the [[spoiler:necromancer]] was only one of seven playable classes in D2.
