Line 33:
* ''[[Series/The Wheel Of Time|The Wheel Of Time]]'' series has the Black Ajah working in this fashion. In order to prevent any Black Sister from having the knowledge needed to betray the entire organization all Black Sisters except the top few are normally only ever given the identity of three other members. Most members do not even know who the next person up the chain of command is, much less who is at the head.
* In the novel [[Twelve]], vampires have to hide themselves from human society. The protagonist discovers that the "mercenaries" his friend hired are in fact vampires. {{spoiler|Later, he is shocked to find out one of the vampires ''ISN'T!'' So the villain could move about in the daylight ... [[Oh Crap]]. Furthermore, said character had fooled the other vampires into thinking he's one of them. It helped that the vampires weren't particularly strong.}}
* [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s short story "[[Pun-Based Title|Satanic, Versus...]]" features her [[Hot Witch]] character Diana Tregarde dealing with a monster someone accidentally summoned at a party. One of the other partygoers is also trying to stop the creature. He and Di have an exchange in which the first three things they say — "What are ''you'' doing here?" "My ''job''." "''What?''" — '''both''' of them say, in perfect astonished unison. An author's note revealed that Lackey borrowed this fellow, with permission, from tabletop RPG ''Stalking the Night Fantastic'', which is a sort of 1983 version of the ''[[The X-Files]]'' concept.
