* ''{{ComicBook/Sabretooth}}'' for his love interests, [[Characters/GenerationX Monet]], [[SatelliteLoveInterest Bonnie]], and [[SatelliteLoveInterest Holly]]. He's controlled by an enemy to fatally wound Holly, and fails getting her to a hospital. Bonnie was infected with a plague before they met & he has to kill her when the cure gets destroyed in the lab explosion. When Monet is cursed by [[Characters/GenerationX Emplate]], he helps hide it by covering for her & letting her feed on him. This allows Emplate to gain greater control on Monet, which lead to her FaceMonsterTurn. He wanted to stick by her & find a cure but due to ''ComicBook/ResurrXion'' [[NoRomanticResolution dropping]] their relationship, it doesn't happen. She's cured by her friends, with no explanation on why she & Creed split up.

A character with an emphatic [[TheDulcineaEffect level of devotion to another character they may not have known very long.]] Sufch a character will often matter-of-factly explain it as chivalry, [[BecauseDestinySaysSo destiny]] or whatever. Everyone who knows the other character will envy the situation, or tolerate it with minimal embarrassment. So far they seem to be a simple SatelliteCharacter.

** Brienne of Tarth was in love with Renly Baratheon, who was the first man to treat her with something other than scorn, and swore to guard his life with her own; when he [[spoiler:was murdered by his brother through supernatural means]], she was devastated. While she doesn't seem to be in love with [[spoiler:Jaime Lannister]], the fact that he was the second man to treat her with something other than scorn plus her single-minded devotion to fulfilling the oath she made to him smacks of this trope.
