Channa

In DN 16, the Buddha has time to initiate a last discipline Subhadda.

The Buddha says that Channa, his chariot driver supposedly when he was a prince, has been talking bad about some others, and he's to be ostracized by the other monks. All business up to the end. Channa overcomes this ostracizing to become an arihant so the story ends well.
