Line 110:
* In ''Flora's Dare'', Flora is sent off by Lord Axacaya to Bilskinir House to recover Georgiana Segunda's Diario so as to determine how to free the Loliga. Little does she suspect {{spoiler|that the his primary reason for sending her was to confirm his suspicions that she's the last Hadraada, and thus have her killed}}.
* In ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'', Edmund is the White Witch's [[Unwitting Pawn]].
* In [[Kurt Vonnegut]]'s novel ''[[
* At the end of Suzanne Collins's ''[[The Hunger Games|Catching Fire]]'', Katniss learns that she was central to an enormous plot that no one let her in on.
* In the ''Mistborn'' trilogy, {{spoiler|everyone is [[Unwitting Pawn]] for Ruin and its plan for complete...ruin.}} And in true Xanatos spirit, that's not even the end of it it, since {{spoiler|Preservation made a [[Unwitting Pawn]] out of Ruin by making humans in ITS plan for offing Ruin.}} DANG. For the record, "everyone" includes the [[Big Bad]] ''and'' the [[Chessmaster]]. No mind goes [[Mind Screw|unscrewed]].
Line 204:
* ''[[Golden Sun]] I'' and ''II'' has Alex, who uses both parties in a massive [[Unwitting Pawn]]. While they fight amongst each other about lighting the lighthouses Alex twiddles his thumbs for when they finally do and cause the Golden Sun to rise and shine down massive power down on Mt. Aleph, where he happens to be waiting.
** Only to discover that he ''himself'' was {{spoiler|the Wise One's}} [[Unwitting Pawn]] in his plan: {{spoiler|he knew lighting the lighthouses would allow someone to gain enough power from the Golden Sun to conquer the world, so when all but one of the gems required to light the lighthouses was removed from their chamber, the Wise One transferred just enough of that power (which was originally split evenly between the gems) from the remaining gem to Isaac without telling him, meaning that if the lighthouses were all lit, anyone who wanted the Golden Sun's power would not get enough of it to conquer the world.}}
*** {{spoiler|And in [[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]] it's shown that he one-upped The Wise One, and is doing the same thing again. He's so good at this that in his very first appearence, he even says to the characters they're pawns, and they can't do anything about it. By the end of the game, it's clear that he's been using almost everyone of importance throughout the whole plot, including [[Those Two Bad Guys]]. And the player still doesn't have the slightest idea what his long-term goals are, as he remains [[The Unfought]].}}
** Gloriously subverted in Agatio's intro scene in ''The Lost Age'', in which he flat-out tells Alex [[Take That|to his face]] that [[Genre Savvy|he knows he's being used]], and ''just doesn't care'' as long as his goals get accomplished, too. Definitely Agatio's personal [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], since he's otherwise one of the flattest major characters in a series known for [[Flat Character|FlatCharacters]].
* The ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series:
