Line 18:
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': {{spoiler|Selim Bradley is Pride}}.
* In a couple of arcs of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', {{spoiler|Shion}} combines this with {{spoiler|[[Twin Switch]]}} and [[Mind Screw]]. {{spoiler|She [[Torture Cellar|imprisons]] her sister and becomes 'Mion' to the public eye, but continues to contact Keiichi as Shion.}}
* In ''[[Baccano!]]'''s ''Drugs and the Dominoes'', Claire Stanfield not only has the reputation as the world's most violent and dangerous assassin, but is also the greatest challenger to that claim, {{spoiler|Felix Walken}}. Gustavo then makes the mistake of hiring the latter to kill the former (along with his stepbrothers, the Gandors) and violent [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* Misao Amano/Pixy Misa in ''[[Magical Project S]]''.
* Used, and taken to its illogical presumptions, in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]].'' Many theories imply that one person is impersonating/trading places with ''five'' different members of the family and the servants and an [[Unreliable Narrator]] keeps the personas separate. And [[Bribing Your Way to Victory|everyone else is just being paid off]].
Line 60:
* The twist endings in two novels of [[The Culture]], ''[[The Culture/The Player of Games|The Player of Games]]'' as well as ''[[The Culture/Surface Detail|Surface Detail]]'' both make use of this trope.
* In the ''[[.hack|.hack//]]'' prequel novel ''[[.hack//AI buster|AI Buster]]'', {{spoiler|the two main characters, Albireo and Watarai,}} turn out to be the same guy. The franchise does this a lot, actually, made easier by the characters' use of online aliases.
* In [[Angels and& Demons]] and [[The Da Vinci Code]], the mysterious unseen leader of the villains turns out to be a seemingly sympathetic character. It's also done slightly differently in [[Digital Fortress]]. [[Dan Brown]] seems to love this trope.
* In 'The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In A Ship Of Her Own Making', the lost Good Queen Mallow is now {{spoiler|the semi-villain Marquess}}.
* In ''[[Ravenloft|Vampire of the Mists]]'', {{spoiler|Katya}} and {{spoiler|Trina}} are revealed at the end to be the same person.
Line 93:
* ''[[Manhunt]] 2'' has {{spoiler|Danny Lamb/Leo Kasper}}.
* In [[Tales of Vesperia]], it is revealed that {{spoiler|Raven, trusted member of your party and the guild Altosk, is actually Captain Schwann of the Imperial Knights}}.
* ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' has {{spoiler|Frank Fontaine/Atlas}}
* In ''[[Mitsumete Knight]]'', the enemy Generals love [[The Reveal|to pull this]] : Salishuan the Spy is {{spoiler|Raizze Haimer}} ; Zeelbis the Bloody is {{spoiler|Dolphan's High Priest}} ; and Wolfgario the Ravager is {{spoiler|Dyunos Dolphan}}.
* ''[[Xenogears]]'': The mysterious guy in the red gear who calls himself Id turns out to be {{spoiler|your main character Fei's alternate personality.}}
