You could argue you that with Delvargus because his death led to coronal giving dala crimson commands and Maldrood conquering the core help Dala kill them and take their territory.
That was an earlyin game mechanic. Crimson Command belonged to Teradoc. Killing him and gaining Pellaeon's loyalty gave Daala the Crimson Command. Col. Cronal gave Daala Delvardus's Night Hammer stealth SSD. It gets confused by some because Daala put Cronus in command of the Crimson Command after she annexed it, with Pellaeon taking over the ISDs gained and Daala taking the Night Hammer to command.
