* In [[Blindsight]], the Captain was this trope. It's so bad that the protagonist treats this as a huge reveal that the Captain was in charge (It's no secret that the Captain was an AI, plus the protagonist is a walking [[Sherlock Scan|Sherlock Scanner]], who forgets the Captain's existanceexistence since it doesn't leave any clues).
* In [[Dragaera|Vlad Taltos]], Kragar wasis justso utterly forgettable that no one will notice him, even though he's standing in the same room, speaking to them, and hasn't moved.
