Line 42:
* Adding to the series' use of [[Mind Screw]] via [[Unreliable Narrator]], the [[Dragaera]] novel ''Orca'' is narrated by Vlad's friend Kiera as a conversation with Vlad's wife, Cawti. Kiera starts out by telling Cawti explicitly that she can't tell the whole truth, and will be altering some things for her own purposes. Then at another point in the story, Kiera describes Vlad, the narrator of most of the other books as pretty much a pathological liar but also essentially implies the same about herself.
* Vergere of the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], with one of the earliest lessons she imparts being "Everything I tell you is a lie." {{spoiler|Including, apparently, not being a Sith.}}
* Cadrach of ''~[[Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn~]]'' is a self-admitted liar, cheat, and [[Dirty Coward]]. Unlike most examples, though, he's not trying to pull a con on anyone; he really is sunk so deep into self-loathing that he cares nothing of what people think of him. Beneath the [[Shell Shocked Senior]] exterior is a man who knows he betrayed the world to its ultimate doom, and would do so again, out of sheer terror. Miriamele tries to befriend him anyway, which ultimately leads to his redemption.
* Fireflyer, the fairy stand-in for Tinkerbell in the book ''[[Peter Pan|Peter Pan in Scarlet]],'' is a notorious liar to whom being called a liar is the greatest compliment of all. He openly and proudly claims that he ''never'' tells the truth -- though this is revealed to be a lie.
