* According to the SaintsRow instruction manual, Julius claimed to be this when he started leading the 3rd Street Saints, though the Stillwater Police believe he's a natural gang leader.
** The Protagonist in the sequel, SaintsRow2 however, is a subverted example, being happy with leading the Saints in Julius' place instead of just 'keeping his/her mouth shut and letting himself/herself being told what to do.' [[spoiler: He/she even outright states this when he confronts Julius, who was revealed to have rigged the boat to explode in the first game.]]

** Carrot is the heir to the throne of Ank-Morpork but refuses to claim the position of king. He would be a great king but feels that it would be for the wrong reasons (he wants people to do the right thing because it is right and not because a king ordered it). He would reluctantly accept the position if there was no other way to save the city.
** Nobby is actually offered the position of kind of Ank-Morpork but runs away from the offer not because he would not want the job but because he is afraid of what Commander Vimes would do to him. He would make a horrible king.

* [[TheMessiah Raamo]] in the GreenSkyTrilogy is actually ''terrified'' by the prospect of becoming one of the ruling Ol-Zhaan, to the point of trying to telepathically scream at the people looking at him with awe that he's just an ordinary Kindar. It's his reluctance that tips off Neric and sets the bigger plot in motion. [[spoiler: later, we learn that D'ol Falla had intended this as a XanatosGambit. The only one who could set things right was someone who wouldn't be caught up in the trappings of power.]]
