No One Sees the Boss: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* L from ''[[Death Note]]'' counts, at least for the first book. For all intents and purposes he fits as a [[Big Good]] version, but his character is pretty much fully introduced in only the second of twelve books (his name remains a mystery). Kira himself counts as this at first, since no one is sure what the hell is going on in the beginning.

* Goth, the big boss of the syndicate in ''[[Et Cetera]]'', due to highly-secretive and indirect contact being enforced among the higher-ranks in order to keep the drug operations running. As such, he isn't seen at all until the final book.

* Another ''Pyramid'' article, "[http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html?id=2177 A Fistful of Tunes You Can Whistle]" for ''[[GURPS]] [[Discworld]]'', is set in a [[Spaghetti Western]] style town run by the barking mad Varozag family. The head of the family is never seen, but "Don Dominguo orders it!" is the standard justification for their odder demands. The article suggests that an actual encounter with the Don could serve as the climax of a scenario—live or stuffed.

 

* In ''[[Grandia 2]]'', {{spoiler|The God of Light, Granas, has been dead for centuries and the church that supposedly worships him is actually devoted to Valmar, ''the God of Darkness''.}}

* In ''[[Mass Effect]]'', the Shadow Broker has never been seen by anyone—not even his closest operatives. {{spoiler|Turns out that the Broker is a yahg, a primitive species that are pretty much good at ''anything'' they care to try. He's later killed by Shepard and Liara, and to cement how good he was at his job, [[You Kill It, You Bought It|Liara takes his place without anyone knowing there was a change.]] In fact, this is exactly how the yahg took control from the previous Broker.}}

** But then we finally get to see him once Primal Dialga is finally defeated...
