Expendable

Other (objects, etc.) theme

The protagonist is treated as if their existence is unimportant, failure would either mean someone else is readily available to do their job or that even failure would accomplish enough.

Likely means that whoever is using the protagonist provides little support, is unlikely to help them survive, sends them on suicide mission with little care if they succeed, and so forth.

Note that this is not the same as sending a person to do a job that they want to succeed, but after the job is done they don't care about the person's survivability (or even if they consider the person a threat after that).

If this is only in the prologue or similar and you switch sides to oppose your former employer (maybe partially because of it), then this shouldn't count as part of this tag either.
