** Daenerys Targaryen initially harbors similar sentiment towards her bodyguard Strong Belwas. A rotund loudmouth and glutton wearing an absurdly tiny vest and speaking mostly in HulkSpeach, surely magister Illirio was mocking Dany by assigning him to protect her? So when she needs someone expendable to fight against the enemy champion in a ritual combat, she sets on Belwas - if he loses then good riddance and no big honor for the enemy, and if he (a former slave) wins, it will be particularly humilliating for the enemies (who are slavers). Belwas immediately drops his goofy mannerisms, and reveals himself as a [[Acrofatic surprisingly nimble]], [[NervesOfSteel unflappable]] and [[SmarterThanHeLooks cunning]] fighter, who repeatedly dodges a charging lancer, then [[CombatPragmatist cuts down the horse]] from under him and finally finishes off the stunned champion, after allowing him a single shallow cut to Belwas's belly, [[KillTally like he always does before a kill]].

** Bridget. She's just a cook and someone who makes depressing poetry/songs, yet is arguably the best fighter who isn't of supernatural (werewolf, vampire, etc.). Even Will got stunned.

* ''Literature/KnightsOfTheBorrowedDark'' has Ed, the tiny Neophyte who's passionate about architecture and whose protective parents have never let him near a combat situation. He's scared of heights and seems like TheLoad when he joins the mission to [[spoiler:light Daybreak]], and it looks like he'll be yet another casualty when he's caught by [[TheDreaded Rout]]...right up until he [[spoiler:reveals just who had Denizen's missing hammer-shard knife, and stabs Rout ''in the face'']].

* Jesper of ''[[Literature/{{Brotherband}} The Brotherband Chronicles]]'' is lazy, prone to complaining, and a prankster and casual thief. Up until you remember that time he backflipped over a ''bear''. He's also a skilled lookout and deadly with a sword.

* The ''Literature/CodexAlera'' series gives us the slave Fade. He's not just a moron, he's obviously severely brain-damaged, and is generally not much good for anything but some minor blacksmithing. Except that [[spoiler:he's actually a legendary swordsman [[FakingTheDead believed dead]] by the rest of the country, and he will miss you up ''bad'' if given a reason to do so. He's also much, ''much'' smarter than he acts, and the only reason he's acting as a slave is to keep an eye on Tavi.]]

** Twoflower spends several books as a cheery tourist with near-terminal [[GenreBlind Genre Blindness]], dismissed by other characters as half-witted at best and mildly insane at worst. Right up until the end of ''Literature/TheLastContinent'', where he [[spoiler: challenges [[BigBad Lord Hong]] to a one-on-one duel]].
