** In Cathay's specific ending, Zhao Ming and Miao Ying breach Be'lakor's fortress only to find [[YouAreTooLate they have arrived too late]] — Ursun has already been drained and tortured beyond his limits by the Dark Master. The Great Bear’s eyes close for the final time, [[AllForNothing making it all seem pointless]]...until, through channeling Shyish, the Dragons discover that Ursun's spirit [[HeroicWillpower is still on the mortal plane and use a spell to call him]]. How does Ursun answer? [[PetTheDog He simply tells them where their beloved little sister is, despite the fact there's nothing in it for him.]] Why? Because GodIsGood. The Dragons then promise to never forget Ursun and his final act of sacrfice.

* If you have any SympathyForTheDevil, an Immortal Empires game where Archaon is killed is tragic. Archaon was once a kind, good man who only became a Chaos champion because of a prophecy he sincerely believes which predicts that he will be the one to end the world. By killing him, it proves that his fate was not preordained, and that everything he's done was ultimately pointless.

* In the Cathay trailer we see an alchemist meeting up with a sky junk pilot with the two being clearly affectionate with each other. During the following battle the alchemist has to watch, horrified, as her friend's junk is blasted out of the sky by Kairos Fateweaver. The alchemist then goes on an impressive RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the Chaos forces only to be incinerated by Kairos in turn before Miao Ying arrives to confront him.

** Doubly so if you were playing as Kislev or Cathay, in which case he decided to do something good while trying to achieve his own goals and still gets screwed.

* The Advisor walks away from the campaign cured from his obligations to the Tome of Fate and free to use it however he sees fit. He sets out on the road into the setting sun, and his tale seems to end on a happy note... Until you play for a few more turns past the ending, [[YankTheDogsChain where you learn that the Advisor has his sight stolen by Tzeentch just as he attempts to read the book]], and he's left in the clutches of [[GreaterScopeVillain Sarthorael the Ever-watcher]], revealing the story to be a StealthPrequel. Even after everything he did to rebel against his circumstances -- even helping to make the world a better place in the Kislev ending -- [[AllForNothing the old man is still trapped as a pawn of the Changer of Ways]].

* The entire story of Yuri Barkov. He was a noble prince of Kislev who went with his brother to save Ursun, but got corrupted by Be'lakor, nearly killed Ursun, and became twisted into a Daemon Prince.

** Even more so the fact that he was a lover of Katarin. There's nothing to stop you from making him kill her in the Realm of Chaos campaign.

** It's especially crushing in Kislev's campaign, since [[ShaggyDogStory Ursun's own followers came to save him, only to fail at the final step]]. Fortunately, [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve the Kislevites' own faith in Ursun]] [[BackFromTheDead is enough to undo his death]].

* Should Skarbrand manage to succeed in claiming Ursun's skull, [[PetTheDog Khorne will accept the offering]], [[YankTheDogsChain but will also affirm that Skarbrand's exile is permanent]]. Even if Skarbrand is a daemon who has slaughtered millions, the ShaggyDogStory still hurts.
