Icons Lists from Mythology, Fiction, and Games

When creating the setting for a scenario or campaign, it can be helpful to come up with a list of people or factions in the settling, as the powerful movers and shakers the the PCs will be interacting with.  Fate would call these "Faces", and 13th Age calls them "Icons".
Half a dozen of these major NPCs/GMCs (Non-Player Characters, also know as Game Master Characters in some circles) are ample for most short campaigns, whilst a dozen is a good number for a longer campaign with deeper setting detail.

The default Icons list from 13th age (more info here: http://www.13thagesrd.com/icons/) is:
The Archmage
The Crusader
The Diabolist
The Dwarf King
The Elf Queen
The Emperor
The Great Gold Wyrm
The High Druid
The Lich King
The Orc Lord
The Priestess
The Prince of Shadows
The Three

So, I got to thinking about who the Icons/Faces would be in various stories/settings -
