* Kiritsugu of ''Literature/FateZero'' is a lot like the guy in the trope description, except his life is ''even worse''. It all starts with a TroubledBackstoryFlashback to when he was a kid living on an island with his dad and a {{Love Interest|s}}. [[spoiler:She suddenly turns into a zombie, and because Kiritsugu fails to MercyKill her, she turns everyone else he knows into zombies. When he learns that his dad caused this by screwing around with magic, he stabs his father to death. Then, a female zombie hunter drags him away from the miniature ZombieApocalypse. She becomes his mother figure, so, naturally, he ends up being forced to kill her when she gets stuck on a plane infested with zombies. During the series proper, his only companions are his homunculus wife, her daughter, and his sort-of-mistress female partner. They all end up dead or permanently separated from him, some of them by his own unwilling hand. Kiritsugu himself ends up with some kind of IncurableCoughOfDeath so that he won't be around for the sequel series, and all he has left in the end is some random kid he found in the wreckage after he obliterated the Grail (the series' MacGuffin which could have invoked UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans) because it was "corrupted" and no longer usable. Thus, everything he did since the series proper, all his sacrifices and dirty business, was pointless. Did we mention the Grail was kinda-sorta his wife? [[note]] She was a catalyst for it.
