Line 33:
* Sam Axe did this for a while in ''[[Burn Notice]]'', though not by choice.
* Alex Krycek of ''[[The X-Files|The X Files]]'' is this trope to a T. He's introduced as the Mole, but eventually just works for whatever side gives him the most advantage.

Line 50 ⟶ 53:
* Axel, firstly in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. And ''especially'' him in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories|Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''.
** In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days|Kingdom Hearts 358 Days Over 2]]'', it's shown that Axel wasn't actually a double agent—he was a ''[[Double Reverse Quadruple Agent|quintuple agent]].'' At one point, he {{spoiler|pretended to join in with Marluxia's conspiracy, in order to get close enough to eliminate him as a traitor on Xemnas' orders, while really working with Saix so they can overthrow Xemnas themselves. At the same time, he helped both Sora and Namine, only partially because they would destroy Marluxia for him, and wiped out two Organization members who were still loyal to Xemnas to avoid anyone else using the knowledge of the Replica Project.}} In the end, of course, Axel's only real loyalty is to himself (though he tends to include his friends in that, whether they like it or not).
▲* The roleplaying game ''[[Paranoia]]'' involves so many conflicting goals that the PCs are basically forced into this. Each of them has some part of the mission that they'd love to sabotage if they can get away with it (by either framing a teammate or just ensuring it stays concealed long enough that it can't be traced back to them), but most of them are otherwise loyal (or at least insufficiently opposed) to Alpha Complex and will try to do their job.
* Harley Filben of ''[[Deus Ex]]'' works for the NSF as a [[The Mole|mole]] for UNATCO, but is actually working for the NSF as part of his duties for {{spoiler|the Illuminati}}.
* [[Star Wars]]:[[The Old Republic]]
