Not the same as characters recognizing the protagonist as something (member of an organization, royalty, magic user, etc.) rather than as someone (The President, The Person-Who-Saved-The-World, etc.).

Likely prompts reactions in direction of "Hey it's X! X is here! With X here, our problem is as good as gone!" or similar gushing at them. Possibly beset by overenthusiastic fan(s) at some point.
