History Main / Ambadassador

-->-- '''The Vandals''', ''Euro-Barge''

* The whole premise of ''VideoGame/GreedFall'' is that you, as [[PlayerCharacter De Sardet]], are a "legate" of the [[MerchantCity Merchant Congregation]] sent to a recently-colonized powers to assisst your good-for-nothing governor cousin in managing diplomatic relations with other colonial powers, as well as with the natives (you also have a second mission, to find a cure for [[ThePlague Malichor]], but that's not your official job). The island being a pretty lawless frontier populated by highly aggressive fauna, De Sardet has no choice but to get really good at fighting to survive countless muggings, animal and monster attacks, and assassination attempts -- and especially after the latter, their [[MultiplePersuasionModes diplomatic skills]] are then needed to resolve the underlying issues without screwing up their fragile relations with whatever faction ordered the hit.

* Arguably, the "Mediator" Job Class of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' -- their attacks consist of TalkingTheMonsterToDeath, and they are the only class (besides Chemists and special character Mustadio) who can wield guns. Granted, guns aren't the strongest weapons, but they're easily the most versatile, allowing the wielder to shoot anywhere in a large area around themselves.

* Creator/MarvelComics character Monet St. Croix (code name M) is the daughter of an ambassador, but is also adept at ass-kicking. Being a NighInvulnerable FlyingBrick helps quite a bit.
* Franchise/WonderWoman is technically an inverted example, as her Badass work as a superhero is her primary and her role as ambassador to "Man's World" secondary but ([[DependingOnTheWriter usually]]) still important.
** ''[[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Volume 1]]'': Count Dendum, Saturnian ambassador to the United States following the treaty between his Emperor and the USA, is a count from an empire where this title would have had to have been earned as an adult through fighting and never fully losing.
** ''[[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Volume 2]]'': During Creator/GregRucka's run Diana's position as an ambassador becomes far more prevalent and her entire schedule is structured around her ambassadorial work, which does nothing to slow down her heroics.

* Raiden from ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie'' and ''Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation'' serves as a mediator between mortals and the elder deities, eventually fighting alongside mortals.

* Subverted in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'': when [[spoiler:Alexander Pierce]] has the World Security Council essentially hostage, one of them, a late-middle-aged woman, starts kicking some serious ass. It's then revealed that [[spoiler:she is actually Black Widow in disguise]].
* ''Film/CaptainBlood'' has Lord Willoughby. He may be old and not the physical type, but anyone who can recruit a crew of pirates as William III's newest privateers in under five minutes when they learn of England's regime change is an ambassdor who is really good at his job.
* In ''Film/IlyaMuromets'', Dobrynya is introduced returning from negotiations in Constantinople, while Ilya spends a few days at a later point wasting the enemy time with pointless talks until reinforcements arrive.
* ''Film/SherlockHolmes2009:'' American ambassador John Standish reacts to a SerialKiller trying to take over the secret society he's part of by yanking out his pistol and attempting to shoot the man.

* In ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novels, Worf was one of these for quite awhile, and Spock continued being one of these from his TNG era days. See the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' examples in Live-Action TV below.

* In Creator/TamoraPierce's ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall'' series, Kel's mother displays this by fighting off pirates after the Yamani's valuable treasures, which is what sparks actual diplomatic progress among the Yamanis. She trained her [[BadassNormal daughter]] well.

* ''Literature/{{Sten}}'' is a former special forces covert operative assassin type-guy, turned ambassador. So Yeah.
* In Creator/KeithLaumer's ''Literature/{{Retief}}'' stories, Jaime Retief is a very effective, badass GuileHero. Technically, Retief is not an actual ambassador, merely a junior member of the embassy staff, because his unorthodox methods--like actually doing something -- tend to keep him from getting promoted in the hidebound ''Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne''.
* In Creator/HBeamPiper's ''A Planet for Texans'' (a.k.a. ''Lone Star Planet''), Ambassador Stephen Silk seems like a fairly average diplomat (albeit an armed one) until near the end of the story when he goes [[spoiler:GunsAkimbo on the three mooks that assassinated his predecessor]].
* Arya from ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'' is ambassador to the elves, in addition to being a warrior princess.
* ''[[Literature/XWingSeries Starfighters of Adumar]]'' has [[AcePilot Wedge Antilles]] made into an ambassador and sent to Adumar to try and convince their government to throw in with the New Republic. The Adumari [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is a near-worshipful attitude towards very good pilots, and that's why Wedge was sent -- he had no training in diplomacy, but he ''was'' the best pilot of his age. In the end, even his [[spoiler: traitorous]] diplomatic liaison underestimated just how good he was.
* Gandalf in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' is the Ambassador of the Valar, essentially. Not to mention that Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir are all basically ambassadors to the Council of Elrond.
* ''Literature/CodexAlera'':
** Skips the "HiddenBadass" part by having Ambassador Varg be a 600-year-old, coal-black, heavily scarred, 8-foot-tall {{Wolfman}}. There is absolutely no doubt that this is one big badass. Even by [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Canim]] standards.
** [[ActionGirl Kitai]] is technically the Marat Ambassador, since Tavi needed to come up with a reason she shouldn't be arrested in the second book.
* The Gunslingers of Gilead in Stephen King's ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'' series function as ambassadors as well as police, soldiers, etc. Needless to say, total badassery is a basic job requirement.
* Jackie in ''Literature/FirstSalikWar'' not only represents all Terran humans to galactic civilization, she's also a former soldier and psychic with some of the most powerful telekinetic abilities ever recorded in a human. In fact she introduces humanity to the rest of the sentient galaxy by way of a RescueIntroduction where she kicks ''serious'' ass.

* As of the last two books of the Literature/TimeScout series, Skeeter Jackson is the ambassador from the downtimers trapped on TT-86 to the uptime world. He also kicks ass during riots, fights off downtime bandits, and captures trained uptime assassins. And takes a girl on a date.
* ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'':
** Miles Vorkosigan in several of the stories in the series, including ''Literature/{{Cetaganda}}'' and ''Literature/DiplomaticImmunity''.
** Ghem-Colonel Benin is a contact of Miles' in Cetagandan Security, and he twice helps stop an interstellar crisis. At the end of ''Literature/ACivilCampaign'' he represents Cetaganda on Barrayar at the wedding of TheEmperor.
** Emperor Gregor himself played the Ambadassador in ''Literature/TheVorGame'', as did Aral.
** Consol Vorlynkin in ''Cryoburn''. Arsonists arrive to torch a cryo-clinic, killing everyone inside - hundreds, even thousands of people. He "confiscates" a crowbar from one of them and uses it to subdue them.
* Alec has become this to the Downworlders of New York City in the ''Literature/TalesFromTheShadowhunterAcademy'' story "Born To Endless Night". He is the preferred go-to Shadowhunter for both Lily Chen of the vampires and Maia Roberts of the werewolves. Less combative than Jace and a ''lot'' less high-handed than Maryse, the Downworlders look to him for guidance in solving problems. But it is also understood that he will be no less decisive in dealing with problems that they let get out of control.
-->'''Lily:''' I stopped Elliott in time. I knew you'd kill him, and then I knew you'd give me your disappointed look.

* In ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'', Nazi officer and emissary to the [[TheRepublic Confederation]] Captain Halsing is not only a WickedCultured WarriorPoet, but also a borderline OneManArmy. He is one of the few enemies that the protagonist, Captain John Rumford, will acknowledge as a WorthyOpponent.

* Most of the regular cast in ''Series/BabylonFive'' who are not station personnel (it is a ''diplomatic'' station, after all). Notably Delenn, G'Kar, Londo and their respective seconds-in-command, Kosh, the Rangers... the list goes on.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8MjQ5Z7ZNo According to Londo, being a badass is a requirement to become an ambassador for the Centauri Republic.]] Note that the guy on the knees at the end of the scene is a ProudWarriorRaceGuy...
* Collectively, the role of the titular team on ''Series/StargateSG1'', as they specialize in first-contact and other tricky situations. As per their different roles on the team, some members (ie, Daniel) are far more diplomatic while others are more ready to break out the big guns, but all are capable of both talking to and taking out potential allies/enemies.
** O'Neill is rather phlegmatic, preferring to talk things out. But when someone threatens him and his planet, [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds look out]].
* Ambassador Duvat in the ''{{Series/Buck Rogers|InTheTwentyFifthCentury}}'' episode "Journey to Oasis". (Played by Mark Lenard, aka Sarek.)
* Puck on ''Series/{{Glee}}'' uses this phrase when he's asked to recruit a new member of the glee club, but... well, he's not as badass that day compared to his usual.
* Van, one of ''Series/HellsKitchen'''s muscular contestants, took this to the next level.
* During the second season of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', Jason, Zack, and Trini had to leave the team. Out of universe this was because their actors had left. In-universe it was because they were selected as US ambassadors to a teen Peace Conference. These are people who spent a good chunk of their non-school hours battling supernatural invaders. Often with their bare hands, so there is no doubt they became this trope. Jason would later return for a while in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' badass as ever, and would also demonstrate his diplomatic skills when convincing a gang to stop harassing the beach club Ernie was trying to open.

* Lorette Strider in the ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'' volume ''Interstellar Wars''. She was a great explorer, and worked to build an understanding between Terrans and Vilani. Sadly, she failed; however, the Third Imperium could be considered the eventual realization of her dream.

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Infinity}}'', when the Morat were told to have a diplomatic corps, they made it a detachment of their army. Mostly, they deliver their diplomacy at high speeds, from a gun barrel.
* The Consul from the ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'' supplement ''Kingdom of Champions''. He is an 8 foot tall, super strong blue robot who was built by an alien race to serve as their ambassador. As Britain was the greatest empire on Earth at the time when the aliens discovered Earth, he dresses and talks like a Victorian English diplomat. He is also a member of Britain's premier superhero team.

* Any of the protagonists in the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series when engaging in negotiations with demons. As any given demon has the caring capability of a turnip, all of them require a significant gift with speech to ensure cooperation. ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney'''s PlayerCharacter and that of ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' somewhat cheat by incorporating negotiation Apps into their arsenal, which increase the probability of the demon being more receptive or supportive to your cause.
* The diplomats in ''VideoGame/EvilGenius'', while useless in combat, can use their diplomatic skills to make even the most elite of heavily armed soldiers defect, and when placed in the field can engage in everything from heists to assassinations.
* Arguably, the "Mediator" Job Class of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''--their attacks consist of TalkingTheMonsterToDeath, and they are the only class (besides Chemists and special character Mustadio) who can wield guns. Granted, guns aren't the strongest weapons, but they're easily the most versatile, allowing the wielder to shoot anywhere in a large area around themselves.
* ''VideoGame/{{Sacrifice}}'' has Ambassador Buta, the rotund emissary of Pyroborea. Buta is a powerful wizard in service of Pyro, god of fire, and thus doubles as one of Pyro's generals.

* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'', House Telvanni is a strongly feudal magocracy, and its mage-lords do not bother to gather themselves when they need to negotiate with each other (like the other Houses do). Instead, they send ambassadors called Mouths. If you join this house and advance to the rank of Master, you get yourself an Ambadassador who undertakes dangerous missions for you in addition to his usual work.
* Mike Haggar in ''VideoGame/FinalFight''. The mayor of [[ViceCity Metro City]], when his daughter Jessica gets kidnapped by the Mad Gear gang, he doesn't submit to the gang's demands, but instead decides to take up his pro-wrestling skills once more to assist Cody and Guy in kicking the gang's ass.
* Beatrice Wankmeister in ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestVTheNextMutation''. Demands answers from Star Con as to who is dumping sludge on the planets she's representing, evades capture when TheCorruption has taken over the ''Goliath'' and escapes, crippling their warp drive in the process. She also isn't bad at an ambush, either.

* Quercus Alba of ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth'', an ambassador who previously served his country in war, [[RetiredBadass even if he's past his prime]]. [[spoiler:[[BigBad While certainly]] [[EvilOldFolks putting the]] AssInAmbassador, he manages to kill a man half his age in a fight while barely getting scratched when said man came at him with a knife longer than Alba's. Also, being able [[MarathonBoss to fend off Edgeworth's arguments for so long]] and ''having his own '''Objection!''' clip'' despite not being a practitioner of law has to count for something, right?]]

** Vector Hyllus, a companion of the Imperial Agent, was a member of the Imperial Diplomatic Service whose final assignment was an embassy to the Killik HiveMind--to carry out his duties, he became a Joiner (joining said hive mind), which is probably what allows him to go toe-to-toe with the Jedi in close combat after he falls out with his nest and joins the Agent as a Covert Assault Agent.
** Ambassador Asara of the Esseles Flashpoint. Her work is going to Imperial-friendly or neutral worlds and convincing them the Republic has a better deal. Of course, the Imperials would like her dead and are willing to sacrifice a civilian passenger ship and everyone aboard to do it. Asara herself can be this and AssInambassador, as her presence endangers the whole ship and she's willing to do some ruthless things to get the ship and herself to safety [[spoiler: like suggesting a plan that would kill off everyone in the engine room]]
* In the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' series:
** The Grey Wardens of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' are ''supposed'' to stay politically neutral, but they are forced to get involved in both the Ferelden Civil War and the Orzammar succession crisis, as they need both countries focused on repelling the Darkspawn instead of petty in-fighting.
** Hawke in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' is forced to become one in Act II, being the only one in Kirkwall that the Arishok deems worthy enough to parley with. In Act III, they mention they've occasionally been called upon in their role as Champion to "rescue" visiting foreign heads of state from having to put up with [[KnightTemplar Knight-Commander Meredith]] for too long.
** In the post-game "Trespasser" DLC for ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', Dorian is sent as Tevinter's ambassador to the Exalted Council which will decide the Inquisition's fate. Cue [[spoiler: an attempted Qunari invasion.]]
* The Hero in the ''VideoGame/QuestForGlory'' series fills this role once or twice:
** In ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIII'', the Fighter, Paladin and Magic User visits the Leopardmen to help negotiate the return of stolen relics that are one of the catalysts for the brewing war.
** In ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryV'' he must negotiate peace with the Tritons to put an end to their attacks on shipping around Silmaria. The Fighter basically beats them into submission, the Wizard can calm the hostile Tritons and proceed past them, while the Thief can even ''swim'' stealthily to sneak in and charm Queen Hippolyta. The Paladin has two options of his own based on the powers he's earned up to this point: Either using the Peace ability, which has a similar effect to the Calm spell, or Awe to send everything hostile running from his aura of sheer badassness.
* ''VideoGame/TheBannerSaga'' : Ludin and Hakon are heirs to the kingdoms of men and varl respectively, and start the game on a diplomatic mission. Once the plot gets underway, both kick ass on the front lines as two of the many playable heroes. They lead their respective races in the caravan, including in to battle.
* In ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun'', Umagon serves as her people's ambassador to GDI, and is a sniper/commando by profession.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** Ex-Admiral Breya Andreyasn functions as the United Nations of Sol's ambassador to the Fleetmind. Definitely badass, both for her accomplishments prior to appointment, and for some of the things she did AS ambassador.
** Due to a complicated series of events involving a lost era of galactic history, a resurrected species, and a fleet of warships, the Toughs end up escorting diplomats on a trip to Earth. This means that the bodyguards get diplomatic immunity, and Captain Murtaugh is genuinely terrified of what Sergeant Schlock will do with this new power. [[spoiler:Not much, as it turns out. He mostly uses it to get out of fines when people try to arrest him for things like jumping off buildings--dangerous for a human, but harmless for him]].
* ''Webcomic/ErrantStory'': Ambassador Ichiro of Tsuiraku, seen [[http://www.errantstory.com/2010-03-22/4688 here,]] complete with [[LampshadeHanging commentary]] [[http://www.errantstory.com/2010-03-26/4690 here.]]
* Prince Tramennis of Jetstone, in ''{{Webcomic/Erfworld}}''. As a diplomat, his father dispatched him to a relatively useless area... and Tramennis returned with a powerful alliance and peace offerings. As a Chief Warlord, he's been able to match wits with [[TheEvilGenius Charlie]] and keep up with [[XanatosSpeedChess Parson's]] [[LoopholeAbuse unconventional]] [[RulesLawyer strategies]].

* Annie in ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' is in training to become a medium between the Court and the Forest. One of her first outings as a medium proper has her battling a hostile crowd who refuse to acknowledge her as medium. She easily beats them back, then politely offers her services.
* Jenka of ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' is the official head diplomat of Mechanicsburg partially because she can speak without using the usual Jäger FunetikAksent but she is still a [[SuperSoldier Jäger]], one of Europa's most feared monsters who has over 200 years of combat experience and was personally feared by the Storm King himself. She also travels by bearback.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'', Joris, the ambassador of Bonta is a tiny, hooded fellow who beats up Sadida guards, holds his own against Rubilax-powered Sadlygrove, and takes on Nox's death machines.
* Briefly in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. After a lot of brain-switching, the Professor, in Bender's body, while acting as a circus robot named Nonchalanto, ends up protecting Bender in a robot prince's body in a violent sword fight to the death on the floor of the United Nations (it MakesSenseInContext). A young boy watching proudly exclaims "When I grow up, I want to be a diplomat!"

* In Season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', Garth and Troia, former members of the Team, are ambassadors of Atlantis and Themiscyra respectively to the United Nations. During an assassination attempt on them and Secretary-General Lex Luthor, they joined both the Team and the Outsiders in the fight against their assilants.

* Joseph Wilson, former ambassador to Iraq (later caught up in the yellowcake affair) sheltered people who were seeking refuge from Saddam Hussein in the U.S. embassy. When Hussein threatened to invade the embassy and hang them, Wilson showed up at a press conference wearing a hangman's noose.[[/folder]]

** Adlai Stevenson's exchange with Valerian Zorin.

* The UsefulNotes/IndianPoliticalService was a combination of this and an intelligence agency. Several of it's members were obliged to represent UsefulNotes/TheRaj to Afghan chieftains which is one of the nastiest diplomatic jobs anyone can come up with.

* In ''Film/IlyaMuromets'', Dobrynya is introduced returning from negotiations in Constantinople, while Ilya spends a few days later wasting the enemy time with pointless talks until the reserves arrive.

* Literature/{{Sten}} is a former special forces covert operative assassin type-guy, turned ambassador. So Yeah.

* ''Series/WallenbergAHerosStory'': The neutral diplomats.

[[folder:Music]]
* Music/WarrenZevon's song "The Envoy" describes such a character.
[[/folder]]

* Joseph Wilson, former ambassador to Iraq (later caught up in the yellowcake affair) sheltered people in the U.S. embassy who were seeking refuge from Saddam Hussein. When Hussein threatened to invade the embassy and hang them, Wilson showed up at a press conference wearing a hangman's noose.[[/folder]]

** First, he was almost universally disliked by other Nazis. Laurence Rees claims that every person who knew Ribbentrop he interviewed showed a passionate searing hatred for the man and how he behaved in life. He has the dubious distinction of being "The Nazi the other Nazis hated"

* ''Literature/{{Ringworld}}'': Speaker-To-Animals was on Earth as an embassy legate because by the standards of his ProudWarriorRace, the [[CatFolk Kzinti]], he was embarrassingly meek and ineffectual (which is also why he had a title instead of a name). However, a 'meek' Kzin suited for diplomacy (a concept that the Kzin hadn't even had until the humans beat it into their heads) is still a three meter tall feline engine of destruction with a hair-trigger temper. This 'docile' Kzin's first act in the novel was to scream in rage and threaten to attack Nessus, a representative of the herbivorous Pierson's Puppeteers, after the latter had deliberately insulted the Kzinti. During the expedition, he twice tried to seize control of the ship, and has to restrained by his companions from going LeeroyJenkins on a number of occasions.

* After helping to neutralize the Parliament Hill shooter, Sergeant-At-Arms and former RCMP Chief Superintendent Kevin Vickers was appointed the Canadian Ambassador to Ireland in January 2015. In May 2016, he was at a ceremony honoring British soldiers killed in the Easter Rising when they were interrupted by a protester. Vickers grabbed the protester and dragged him away from the ceremony to hand him over to the police. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment While this proved controversial]] [[UsefulNotes/TheIrishQuestion for obvious]] [[UsefulNotes/TheIrishRevolution historical reasons,]] it should be noted that Vickers was a hair shy of 60 at the time, yet the protester tried to get away when he saw the Ambassador bearing down on him.

-->'''Ambassador''': Tell me, Mrs. Daemonia, do you know judo?
-->'''Mrs. Daemonia''': No, why?
-->'''Ambassador''': ''(casually throws her over his shoulder)'' Because I am a black belt. ''(bows to Benoit)'' I shall go telephone the police.

** The Jedi are extremely adept warriors, but they are first and foremost diplomats and peacekeepers. Obi-Wan Kenobi in particular is one of the most famous, being nicknamed 'The Negotiator' for his diplomatic skills and being a capable combatant himself.

** Case in point: in ''Literature/TheFifthElephant'', Vimes is given a diplomatic mission to {{Uberwald}}. He brings along Cheery Littlebottom (an [[RealWomenNeverWearDresses openly female dwarf]]) as well as Detritus (an [[FantasticRacism unlicensed troll]]) as his "cultural attache". For reference, this is like bringing a transvestite and Mossad agent to Tehran. In the same book Vimes solves a crime that could have plunged the region into war and kills several werewolves with his bare hands.[[note]]He's later told, by Angua, that [[spoiler:the werewolves were holding back a bit to make "The Game" a bit more fun, but]] his bare-handed 'self defense' was certain better than what Skinner was able to do...[[/note]]
*** Duchess Sybil Vimes is more traditionally diplomatic than her husband, but just as capable of caving a werewolf's head in with the iron bar she pulled out of the window she just climbed out of.

*** And his father is the formidable, nigh-legendary Sarek of Vulcan. Who, while he very much would prefer not to, is entirely capable of using the ancient martial art of Tal-Shaya to [[PressurePoint kill with a single touch]] if necessary. We also see a younger Sarek fight quite capably in ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery''.

* In the Phillipine backwoods women often act as tribal diplomats. On one occasion after a murder set off a feud a GrandeDame from one tribe first went to a local guerilla leader convincing him to stay out of the district for awhile as some of his personnel had local connections that would merge the feud with a CivilWar causing bloody escalations. Then she arranged a FancyDinner at which the two tribes negotiated the compensation.

** Case in point: in ''Discworld/TheFifthElephant'', Vimes is given a diplomatic mission to {{Uberwald}}. He brings along Cheery Littlebottom (an [[RealWomenNeverWearDresses openly female dwarf]]) as well as Detritus (an [[FantasticRacism unlicensed troll]]) as his "cultural attache". For reference, this is like bringing a transvestite and Mossad agent to Tehran. In the same book Vimes solves a crime that could have plunged the region into war and kills several werewolves with his bare hands.[[note]]He's later told, by Angua, that [[spoiler:the werewolves were holding back a bit to make "The Game" a bit more fun, but]] his bare-handed 'self defense' was certain better than what Skinner was able to do...[[/note]]

** Also, from what we've heard anyway, Curzon Dax would probably qualify. There has to be a reason that three of his closest friends were legendary Klingon warriors Kor, Koloth and Kang. And that said warriors allowed him to join their Blood Oath of revenge against [[EvilAlbino the Albino]].
