* Combustion Man from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. The heroes don't know his name, never hear him speak (the only noises he makes are grunts which aren't even credited by a voice actor), and know nothing about his past. In their first encounter with him, they only escaped by the skin of their teeth. Zuko apparently knows more about him (name, past, etc.) but his portrayal is that of a [[Implacable Man|relentless shadow]]. |

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate) "Deep Throat"] was the name given to the informant who provided information to ''Washington Post'' reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein during the Watergate scandal. His identity was a secret known only to them that they swore they would not reveal until his death, and for years, news agencies and other organizations could only propose theories as to his identity and motivation— some outright refused to believe he existed, given how suspiciously convenient of a figure he was. It wasn't until 2005 that Deep Throat was revealed to be FBI Associate Director Mark Felt, who came forward on his own. He was always the administration's main suspect, given the nature of the information he was doling out, so it's less of a revelation than it looks on the surface. |
