*** Susano: [[BewareTheSillyOnes Lord of the Revel]]

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': Kratos, the Ghost Of Sparta.

* Practically almost any character who has made a name for themselves have an alias or two in the ''VideoGame/KisekiSeries''. But some of the standouts include:
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'' has Agate Crosner referred to as the "[[{{BFS}} Heavy Blade]]", Scherazard Harvey as the "Silver Streak", and Cassius Bright as the "Divine Blade".
** ''VideoGame/ZeroNoKiseki'' meanwhile has Arios [=MacLaine=] as the "Divine Blade of the Wind", Randolph Orlando as the "Crimson Reaper", and Arianrhod is referred to as the "Steel Maiden".
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' also includes Vita Clotilde as the "Azure Abyss", [=McBurn=] as the "Almighty Conflagration", Sara Valestein as the "Purple Lightning", and TheHero Rean Schwarzer ends up gaining one as the "Ashen Chevalier".

* ''VideoGame/AggressorsOfDarkKombat'' is full of this, since all the characters (including [[VideoGame/WorldHeroes Fuuma]]) have BadassBoast as nicknames InUniverse. Starting with [[TheProtagonist Joe Kusanagi]], "The Red Panther from Honmoku".

** Doomguy himself recieves the honor in ''VideoGame/Doom2016''; the UAC refer to him as the "Doom Marine", while the denizens of Hell fearfully call him the "Doom Slayer".

*** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline Online]]'' has "the Soulless One".

** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', the first game's PlayerCharacter is referred to only as the Hero of Ferelden, while Hawke in this game is called the Champion of Kirkwall. In ''Videogame/DragonAgeInquisition'' you start off as the Herald of Andraste before moving on to Inquisitor.

''VideoGame/YokusIslandExpress'': Throughout most of the game, the BigBad is only known by the name of '[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast God Slayer]]'. [[spoiler:He's actually your helper and ExpositionFairy Kickback]].

** [[CosmicPlaything Maggey Birde]], a defendant in the second [[spoiler: and third]] game is known as the "Goddess of Misfortune" and "Lady Luckless" by her peers due to her [[BornUnlucky abysmal luck.]]

** Even before the beginning of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', the player character already has a reputation as "The Ashen Demon", while his father Jeralt is the legendary "Blade Breaker".

* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has quite a few of these, such as Karel "The Sword Demon", Raven [[spoiler:Raymond of Cornwell]], and the entire Black Fang organization (Lloyd the White Wolf, Linus the Mad Dog, Ursula the Blue Crow, Jaffar the Angel of Death, Legault the Hurricane, Uhai the Soaring Hawk, Aion the Owl, Teodor the Shrike), and ''weapons'' get their own nicknames, like Durandal, the Blazing Sword, and Armads, the Thunder Axe). If you're anyone at all in the game, you've got a nickname.
** It's worth mentioning that this is a tradition in ''Fire Emblem'' that often goes hand in hand with their use of QuirkyMinibossSquad. From time to time, those are made out of elite generals of a side and they usually have corresponding titles, the six generals of Grado in the eighth game for example are all named after gemstones.
** And if the character didn't have one at the beginning of the game, their personal ending has them gaining one. ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' practically ''swimming'' in this trope when the previous Lords and several famous characters of the series summoned by PaperTalisman, as their eras have long since passed and their titles become legends by itself.

** ''VideoGame/{{Ace Combat 04|ShatteredSkies}}'': The Ribbon (referring to the Mobius Squadron logo, a mobius strip); ''VideoGame/{{Ace Combat 5|TheUnsungWar}}'': The Four Wings of Sand Island (4-pilot squadron), Demons/Ghosts of Razgriz (referring to your pilot's status regarding a myth); ''VideoGame/{{Ace Combat Zero|TheBelkanWar}}'': The Demon Lord of the Round Table, ''VideoGame/{{Ace Combat X|SkiesOfDeception}}'': Nemesis or the Southern Cross; ''VideoGame/{{Ace Combat 6|FiresOfLiberation}}'': Angels (a blanket term for all allied aircraft).

* In the rebooted ''Franchise/{{Wolfenstein}}'' games starting with ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'', BJ Blazkowicz gains a reputation as a feared NaziHunter: "Terror Billy". In ''VideoGame/WolfensteinYoungblood'', his twin daughters Jess and Soph gain a reputation mirroring their fathers and a title to go with: the "Terror Twins".

* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'': The Red Cyclone, Zangief. Later on, we'd get the DoubleAgent Crimson Viper.

** Samus Aran is merely referred to as "The Hunter" by the SpacePirates in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime''.

** Really every character is given a title, ranging from simple ones like Olaf the Berserker to ones like [[AwesomeMcCoolName Mordekaiser the Master of Metal]].

* In certain games in ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series, when Link proves himself worthy of bearing a title, it is usually "the Hero of X," where X is the element most associated with the installment. For instance, in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', his title is "Hero of Time" and "Hero of Winds," respectively.
