Two more white-haired guys, both from Dungeons & Dragons games and books, both of them powerful and morally ambiguous: [Drizzt Do’Urden](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/0/01/DrizztCover.png/revision/latest?cb=20190901195238) and [Raistlin Majere](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/54/d1/27/54d127636ffc3a972941a3de01743de3.png). Both of them are originally created in the mid-1980s ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > So, unless I’ve missed one, nobody’s found any examples from Star Wars nor Star Trek. It seems rather a stretch to me to refer to “every sci-fi fantasy movie”, when it doesn’t appear in either of the two biggest sci-fi franchises. There’s [Andorians](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Andorian) from Star Trek, who all have white hair. ---
