Dead Person Impersonation	comment	The ploy of taking over a dead person's identity. This can be for any number of reasons. Perhaps the character was a drifter, with no identity of their own worth speaking of and enticed by the possibility of assuming the role of their recently deceased acquaintance. They may have promised to protect the person's loved ones, want to escape their old life, or less heroically intend to con their new "family" out of money. If anyone questions their changed appearance, accent, or other details, there's often a Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story they can use to explain it away. Usually the impostor will end up Becoming the Mask, falling in love with the life that isn't theirs, and be exposed. Happily, though, they will regain the trust they lost by some act of heroism, and remain among their new loved ones. Whether it's with their own or the new name varies. More maliciously, a villain will do this after they kill the other person. This is often paired with a subsequent Peek-a-Boo Corpse, when the original person's body is discovered by someone, making them realise what has happened. A common occurrence in murder mysteries is for the killer to do this in order to throw off the time of death and give themselves an alibi. Having such an impersonation can create Dramatic Irony if the audience is aware of the ploy, or a plot twist if they are not. Occasionally the impostor will be played sympathetically, in which case they may be forced to assume the dead person's identity to escape death themselves. Or, in a subversion, they could have been misidentified after a mass-casualty incident, and refrained from pointing out the mistake due to fear of prosecution, sympathy for the dead person's loved ones (who believe the deceased "miraculously survived!"), or even amnesia. Related to My Sibling Will Live Through Me. Can result in an Impersonation-Exclusive Character if revealed to be the case with an already-established character. Compare Legendary Impostor, The Mole, Rags to Royalty, The Real Remington Steele, Prince and Pauper. Contrast Lost in Character, where a professional actor takes on a role and forgets their original self. If you don't just take the other person's identity, but also their appearance, it's Replicant Snatching. If it's a temporary thing, a sort of masquerade where characters pretend the dead one is alive, it's an Of Corpse He's Alive situation, or the El Cid Ploy. If you're a time traveler, and are doing this so history stays on track, it's You Will Be Beethoven. If you're literally impersonating a dead person, that's Playing Possum. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

They assume the identities of a mother and son murdered at Auschwitz, and find their way to a brother-in-law of the dead woman, who had never met his real sister-in-law or nephew, so had no reason to doubt their identities. The son retains his new identity throughout his life, having no desire to be identified as a relative of a high-ranking Nazi.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_1463a028	comment	In two episodes of Law & Order: SVU: One episode involved twin sisters Ava and Irina who were Romanian mail-order brides; Irina's husband was kind and the marriage was good, but Ava divorced her husband because he abused her, only to apparently have been murdered shortly thereafter. They then learn that it was actually Irina who had been killed because the murderer mistook her for Ava, and Ava assumed her identity so the murderers wouldn't learn of their mistake and because she was trying to buy freedom for another sister, who had also been put aside by her husband and then forced into prostitution. The husband is understandably disgusted when he learns that the woman he shared a bed with and helped raise his daughter for three years was an impostor, despite her claims that she did love him and hid the truth to protect him. In another episode, a girl reunites with her family after being missing for several years and was thought to be dead, but the detectives discover the girl is an impostor because her tattoo doesn't match. The missing girl's older sister believes the impostor had something to do with the girl's disappearance and might know if she's alive or dead. The trope is subverted, then played straight. The impostor never met the missing girl, but saw her photo on a website, realized they looked alike and tried to gain entry to her family to escape her father, who kept her in sexual captivity after lying about her mother being dead. After her father is arrested and she's reunited with her mother, the impostor girl felt the need to go back to the missing girl's family to tell them something... that the girl she had been impersonating had been dead all along, having been murdered by her other sister the day she went missing; the guilty sister had been using this against the imposter, which is how she found out. Even worse, their mother found out a few years after it happened but never said anything because she didn't want to lose another child.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age In rare cases, Spirits that are particularly impressed by a certain person are capable of taking on that person's appearance and memories after they die. In most cases, the Spirit appears as an incorporeal ghost, a shadow of the person they are impersonating. In extremely rare circumstances, the person's impression on the Spirit is so strong that the Spirit can take that person's physical form and pick up where they left off. The most prominent example of this is Cole, a Spirit of Compassion who impersonates a young mage that he was unable to save. This tendency of Spirits was eventually used to explain the infamous issue of party member Leliana appearing in every game in the series even if the player killed her in the first installment: a spirit empowered by the lyrium surrounding the Urn of Sacred Ashes broke through the Veil and took Leliana's form. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, fugitive Thom Rainier had been pretending to be Warden-Constable Blackwall for almost four years by the time you meet him. Rainier was a Orlesian army captain who took a bribe to assassinate an ally of Empress Celene. When he and his showed up to do the job, Rainier told his men to leave no survivors, unaware that the target's family was there as well. Rainier abandoned his men and went into hiding, where he eventually met the real Blackwall, who recruited Rainer to the Grey Wardens. Before Rainier could perform his Joining, however, the real Blackwall died fighting darkspawn. Since Rainier had no proof (as far as he knew) that he didn't just kill Blackwall, he assumed his identity and went into hiding again.

When the real Skinner moves in, people start missing the "old" Skinner (even his mother, who preferred the easily domineered Armin over the naturally independent Seymour), culminating in Seymour being driven out of town and a judge giving Armin Skinner's identity.

Apparently a magic glyph tattooed on one's skin continues working even if someone else is wearing it! Thankfully it is later confirmed that Vilrath was in fact dead and the necromancer wasn't manipulating a still-living skinsuit. Squick.

Because his mother was English, Von der Drache was educated in England until the age of 12. He served as a Skorzeny Werwolf commando in WWII. After the Ardennes offensive he stayed behind Allied lines when their forces crossed the Rhine and started operating in the Low Countries with his commando group. During a mission, he dressed as a British soldier so that he could sabotage and destroy a farmhouse holding a mixed liaison group of American and British servicemen, but he ended up at the same farm after being attacked by his own fighter because he was wearing a British uniform. While he was still conscious, he managed to destroy his motorbike and documents. Later he was found and brought to the farm, so he was caught in the explosion and nearly killed. He was then rescued by the British and nursed back to health, faking amnesia and claiming to be a "missing soldier" by the name of Hugo Drax.

Nobody knows they're actually two people. Odette dies in a freak train accident. Her doppleganger takes over her life and all her cash, cause why the heck not? It turns out, this was the reason for her murder: The real Odette had conspired to kill her grandfather for her inheritance with her financial manager. When he ranted on it to the lookalike, her shock made him realize she wasn't the real Odette and he killed her both to keep it quiet and his outrage that a "dirty stripper" took over the life of a woman he'd secretly lusted after.

In the Land of Birds arc the daimyo Sagi is revealed to have died some time prior. His twin sister Toki faked her own death and assumed Sagi's identity in an attempt to hunt down his killers. Madara Uchiha is revealed to have been Dead All Along, meaning Tobi was impersonating him. The trope becomes somewhat tangled when it's revealed Tobi was Madara's chosen successor and is himself the assumed-dead Obito. In the anime, it's implied that Obito imitated Madara's voice as part of the impersonation, as when the real Madara joins the fray (resurrected as a zombie), Tobi's voice switches back to the one he'd used earlier in the series, albeit with a much more serious tone.

A young stalker's victim takes out a restraining order against her and transfers to Sweet Valley to escape her, so she has surgery to look like a girl from their old school (who died), assumes the dead girl's identity, and follows the guy to Sweet Valley. Continues for several books over the "Evil Twin" miniseries, in which Margo, who is identical to Elizabeth and Jessica, plans to kill Elizabeth and take over her life. Later, Margo discovers she has an identical twin sister as well, and they attempt this trope with both Wakefield girls (although now Margo wants to be Jessica.)

It backfires when the impersonator doesn't "remember" "his" affair with his sister-in-law, which he obviously couldn't put into writing. This might be a Take That! to Ghost Whisperer's Jim/Sam arc, where the ghost of Melinda's husband Jim takes over the body of a guy named Sam and gets a nasty case of double-amnesia, with his body's medical history saying he's this person while his heart says he's another He (Jim) gets better. There is one plot where a man murders his female relative, but nobody realises that she is dead because his mistress has plastic surgery to make her look exactly like the dead woman. The makers of the show liked this plot so much they used it TWICE! (s3e12 and s5e9). And, the second time, the mistress impersonates the murderer's SISTER!

In order to survive and find their way back, many officers, plus the ship herself, have to pretend to be their Evil Doppelgangers. While they don't really know the fate of the ISS Discovery and her crew at the time, they eventually discover that she was destroyed by Prime!Klingons not long after the ships switched places, so the trope still applies. In the case of Lorca, his double is listed as MIA, so it's easy enough to pretend to be the same one (in a twist, he actually ends up being Mirror!Lorca all along). After the Discovery gets back to the Prime universe, Emperor Philippa Georgiou convinces Admiral Cornwell and Sarek to allow her to take the place of her deceased counterpart in order to help them take out Qo'noS, with the Admiral declaring that "Captain Georgiou" was mistakenly listed as KIA and was, in fact, captured by the enemy.

On his release the father of the deceased helped him use his son's identity to join the British army, which as a convicted criminal he would normally be unable to join.

After accidentally spreading a virus over the world that turns everyone into a Blob Monster, Rick and Morty travel to an alternate universe where they did succeed in curing the virus but died moments after their success. Rick considers this their best option and buries their alternate selves in the backyard, leaving Morty traumatized. This is Played for Laughs later on as the family does this two more times. Played for Laughs in the episode "Analyze Piss" when after a urine-themed Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain called Pissmaster is Driven to Suicide by Jerry beating him up and turning him into a laughingstock, Rick takes pity on him and his loved ones and impersonates him to save his reputation and make it seem as though he died in a Heroic Sacrifice.

The original Yuno is the third corpse in her house, which was revealed by Akise after he DNA-tested it with her umbilical cord that her orphanage held onto. Somewhat subverted, because it actually turns out that she is Yuno. She is actually the Yuno from an Alternate Universe; as in this universe, she and her world's Yuki were the last two left in the game and decided on a Suicide Pact. Things went wrong and Yuno survived, leaving her as winner of the game and the new God of Time and Space; since she couldn't resurrect her world's Yuki, she instead used her powers to create this universe, killed this world's version of herself and took her place in the game, in order to be with Yuki once again. So Yuno has been, in a sense, impersonating herself.

In the episode The Magnificent Seven, one of the Sins possesses the body of a hunter they just killed in order to taunt his wife. The fact that everyone knew it was an act appeared irrelevant. Played straight with Adam Milligan, who dies before he's even introduced. Killed and then impersonated by a shape-shifting ghoul, the goal was to get revenge on Adam's father, John Winchester. After discovering that John's been dead for years, the ghoul decides that Sam and Dean will make worthwhile substitutes. It is unclear whether the Leviathans replaced or just possessed their first human hosts, but they are shape-shifters and (just like any other shapeshifter on this show,) they need some DNA to base a new body off of. The most popular way for a Levi to get it? Eat the victim, take on their identity, continue as normal.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII have Jenova do this trope. Example: Cloud's backstory revolve around this. Since he was rendered mentally unstable by experimentation (that involved injecting Jenova's cells on him) and trauma, and had little self-esteem before that point, he takes on the life story of his best friend, Zack. In the original, it was portrayed as Cloud finally snapping for good - in the remade scene in Crisis Core, the transformation is more subtle, as Cloud initially thanks the dying Zack for everything, before taking on his false SOLDIER persona in The Stinger. Either way, under the effect of the Jenova's cells, Cloud ends up creating an entirely different persona that took on Zack's memories, including believing that he was in SOLDIER, and the illusion comes apart in the most painful way possible later on. Once the creature emerged from the impact site and approached the Cetra settlement, it read their minds and adopted the forms of dead relatives to get close to them. This also applies to the aformentioned Cloud, which had the Jenova's cells reading Tifa's memories when she found him at the train station, being one of the factors in the creation of his SOLDIER persona. Hojo duped Sephiroth into believing this thing is his real mother. Thanks to the Jenova cells in her body, Lucrecia was unable to die, though; instead she fled, eventually winding up in the Crystal Cave where she turned herself to crystal (as a penance and, perhaps, to stop herself from mutating).

Dead Person Impersonation / int_705bb59a	comment	Vampire: The Masquerade has a few examples, thanks to Obfuscate and Vicissitude, but "Melinda Galbraith", Regent of the Sabbat, is a prominent example. The real Melinda Galbraith was found dead and a pile of ashes by a Tzimisce drag queen fleshcrafted to look like her for a big social gather. As he'd recently been disgraced, he knew he'd be blamed for her murder, and thus stepped into her shoes. Now he's just praying no one finds out... Then there's Kemintiri, who earned her place as one of vampire society's most wanted fugitives by killing and impersonating the Ventrue Justicar for over a decade before she was found out. Perhaps the most important is the Tzimisce Antediluvian. When the Sabbat came to diablerize it, the Antediluvian killed one of its assassins and fleshcrafted itself into his likeness, fleshcrafted another attacker into its own likeness, then diablerized them and went back into torpor. As far as anyone could tell, their ally successfully diablerized the Antediluvian, only to be forced into torpor by the sheer power of its blood.

When Dhurke is shot by Inga and is left to bleed to death, he asks Maya to channel him to help free herself, and also asks her to go back to her country and channel him again because he wants to see his adoptive son Apollo one last time. From that point until he stops being channeled, Dhurke is effectively impersonating himself as if he were still alive the whole time.

In "Past Tense", after finding himself in 21st Century San Francisco, Sisko impersonates martyr Gabriel Bell after he dies before leading the riots that bore his name, in order to ensure that history progresses as it's supposed to. In "Through the Looking Glass", Sisko is taken to the Mirror Universe and made to impersonate his counterpart, who was killed by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.

The Wraiths capture a small ship and kill its captain before anyone can send a message back to the enemy fleet; hence the enemy is unaware of this. They decide to continue the ship's mission, masquerading as the original crew of the Night Caller, including her wildly egotistical captain—if he'd stopped commanding, the enemy would've noticed. He kept his Captain's Log in full holo; with so much data, they are able to mock-up a holographic overlay so that the team's actor can impersonate the captain in holo transmissions.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Batman: Batman himself has done this, as his "Matches Malone" persona was swiped from a real guy who got himself killed in his presence, and Bruce deciding to use the identity to spy on criminals. Also from Batman is Jane Doe, a definitely villainous example. She doesn't just kill her new identity; she studies them down to the last detail, perfectly recreating their voice, body language, and thought patterns. It would be less creepy if she was actually a shape shifter, especially since this lack of superhuman ability makes her finishing touch of skinning her victims and wearing them as suits a necessary part of her modus operandi. Batman villain Black Mask did this in the "War Games" arc, by adopting the identity of Orpheus, who he just killed in a Xanatos Speed Chess gambit to become Gotham's main crime lord. Tim ended up dressed as Jason Todd when a panicking Alfred sent him to save Batman and Nightwing from a Two-Face's trap back before most of Gotham was aware the second Robin had been murdered and before Tim started considering stepping up himself as the next Robin.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_8ac4e993	comment	Mobile Suit Gundam: Mobile Suit Gundam: Char Aznable is apparently one of these, but only in the Alternate Continuity manga Gundam: The Origin. In it, we find out that the Char we know - "Casval Daikun", in hiding as "Edward Mass" - befriended a real Char Aznable, a young man physically identical except for their eye colors. Due to a Twin Switch and an assassination attempt by the Zabis, the "late" Edward assumed the identity of the late Char, using Cool Shades and an equally Cool Mask to help avoid suspicion. He's found out quite later by his boss, Lady of War Kycilia, but she doesn't kill him on the spot and attempts to rope him in her own plans... which backfires massively when he blows her head off at the end of the series. Similarly, All There in the Manual reveals that there was a real Quattro Bageena, a pilot who died during the One Year War, and again, looked somewhat similar to Char. When Char joined up with the AEUG, he bought Quattro's ID off the black market in order to hide. Also used with a twist in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. When the engineers working on the Gundam Heavyarms learned that Operation Meteor entailed a Colony Drop, they were horrified and refused to go along with it. Trowa Barton, the Jerkass son of the operation's founder and the soon-to-be-pilot of Heavyarms, threatened to turn them all in... and was suddenly shot dead by an engineer who snapped on his boss because his family was on Earth. At that point, the youngest of the remaining engineers stepped up and volunteered to take on the dead man's identity to maintain the cover-up and thwart the original genocidal Operation Meteor - that young man being the person known as Trowa Barton throughout the television series. Used with quite a twist in Mobile Fighter G Gundam. One of the Gundam Fighters who faces the recently mutated Devil Gundam is the Neo German Schwarz Bruder, who loses and dies. The brainwashed pilot of the Devil Gundam, Kyouji Kasshu, uses his last bits of sanity to gather DG cells, merge them with Schwarz's corpse and create a clone of himself with them, who takes up Schwarz's identity while keeping Kyouji's memories and purposes as well as his looks (the true Schwarz is much older, but his mask helps keep the masquerade). Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Main protagonist Tobia Arronax does this after the Battle of Zeus' Wrath. Since he was declared an enemy of Jupiter, in order to live in Jovian society afterward he took on the identity of Curtis Rothko, who had died in a battle a few months previously. He gets his appearance altered (darker skin tone, black hair) and claims to have amnesia in order to fool those who knew the real Curtis.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_8c05f749	comment	It's a semi-common occurance in Death in Paradise of at least once a season where the killer will impersonate the victim (due to sharing similar builds, being seen from a distance or wearing something to conceal their face and voice). Richard Poole's demise in the season 3 premiere was because he realized that Sasha Moore, his best friend from college, was actually her supposedly dead sister Helen Reed. In "Dishing Up Murder," after temperamental celebrity chef Robert Holt was stabbed to death by his son in a heated fight, the rest of his inner circle, who all hate him, conspire to cover up the crime to protect the son. This includes having Robert's brother Gary impersonate him for the soft-opening of Robert's new restaurant on St. Marie, setting up the opening so that nobody actually needs to see Robert. In "The Healer", a faith healer has being masquerading as his best friend (who he killed) for decades. The Victim of the Week knew this but had no conclusive proof, and so arranged her suicide to look like she'd been murdered at his hands so that he'd face some sort of justice. In "Tour de Murder", the killer's accomplice takes the place of the Victim of the Week at the start of a cycle race (wearing full cycling gear including helmet and wraparound sunglasses, and arriving just before the start of the race to prevent anyone getting a good look at them) to make it look like the victim died later than they actually did and allowing the killer to establish an alibi.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_8d81f086	comment	At least three episodes of Monk: In "Mr. Monk and the Airplane", Stefan Chabrol's mistress poses as Stefan's wife Barbara on the flight after shooting the real Barbara in an airport bathroom. In "Mr. Monk Goes to Vegas", Daniel Thorn strangles his wife Sheryl in a private elevator. Then he has his identically dressed mistress Teresa Telenko switch places with the corpse so that photographers waiting at the bottom think Sheryl strangled herself on her own scarf when getting on the elevator to go back up to the penthouse. In "Mr. Monk Goes to a Rock Concert", singer Kris Kedder kills Stork Murray, a roadie who had threatened to expose him for copyright infringement, stuffs his body into a port-a-potty, and makes it look like he overdosed. Except he finds a pin and realizes that Stork has been off drugs for seventeen months. Aware that nobody, especially not Stork's girlfriend Kendra Frank (who is also Stork's Narcotics Anonymous sponsor), will believe that Stork overdosed after being clean for so long, he waits until the next morning, then dons Stork's bandanna and a pair of sunglasses (to hide his eyes) and visits an acupuncturist, making sure she hears him claim he's gotten over a fear of needles and he wants to find some heroin to get high, to give the appearance that Stork relapsed. He then plants a map in the real Stork's jacket pocket so as to validate that "Stork" really went to the acupuncturist. However, the impersonation falls apart after Monk recalls the acupuncturist stating that Kedder blew up a girl's beachball after his appointment and also recalls that Kedder suffers from asthma, requiring him to use a unique mint-flavored inhaler. In "Mr. Monk Is Someone Else", the FBI have Monk pose as a recently deceased hitman named Frank DePalma, who turns out to be Monk's identical doppelganger, to thwart a potential mob assassination.

In season 2, after he's cured of his curse, Lumel is confused to find Rev digging a grave with his name on it. Rev admits that a decade earlier, he was a drifter who killed the real Father Sheehan under a full moon. With his dying breath, the priest forgave him and asked God to help him. The drifter took Sheehan's truck and clothes and found his way to Midnight, asking for forgiveness in a church. He was confronted by vampire Lumel who assumed he was the new priest. Realizing this town was supernatural, "Rev" took up this identity to help others and atone for his past. In the present, he says that with his curse gone, he wants to travel the world and help others. As he's about to leave, Lumel asks what his real name is and he simply smiles "Just call me Rev."

Dead Person Impersonation / int_9a67b688	comment	Case Closed has several cases: Decades before the series took place a Japanese man named Yoshifusa Yabuchi went to live in Brazil, married a black Brazilian lady and became both friends and associates with Dickson Tanaka, a half-Japanese/half-Brazilian man. When Yoshifusa and his wife died, leaving a young son named Carlos behind, Dickson found out that Yoshifusa's older brother Yoshichika (the patriarch of a very rich family) had also perished in Japan just after learning of Yoshifusa's death. Realizing that the remaining Yabuchis were a Big, Screwed-Up Family, Dickson decided to make sure that his sort-of adoptive son Carlos wouldn't be cheated out of his dad's share of the massive inheritance; knowing that Yoshichika's relatives wouldn't remember how Yoshifusa looked like since they were extremely young when they left, Dickson took up Yoshifusa's identity and made Carlos pass as his bodyguard, so he could observe the family closer and keep Carlos safe. His gambit worked, but at a very high price: Yoshichika's greedy Smug Snake of widow, Machiko, tried to kill Dickson in the bath and, being a skilled martial artist, he killed her in self-defense. In an early case, a man killed his best friend to get his insurance money. Then he hid the friend's corpse and hired an actor to impersonate said friend. THEN, he hired Kogoro for the apparently easy work of following the actor around, tricking him into believing said actor was the friend... so when the body was found some days later, Kogoro became the provider of the "murderous best friend"'s alibi, much to his anger. Fortunately, Conan managed to find the mistakes within said plan (like the actor being a southpaw whereas the dead man wasn't) and reveal the tricks used. Much later, an Office Lady strangled her best friend to death after a huge fight. She created an alibi for herself by putting on the dead girl's Elegant Gothic Lolita dress plus a wig, then walking around in such an ensemble while "calling" the victim to her cellphone, and then returning to the crime scene to re-dress the corpse. Conan also found out the flaws in said plan and unmasked her.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_a4a6b86a	comment	Code Geass has an example thanks to the Zero Requiem plan devised by Lelouch and Suzaku. Short version: Suzaku fakes his death, takes on the identity of Zero, and kills Lelouch (the original Zero) to get rid of the source of the world's anger and suffering and fill Lelouch's Thanatos Gambit. Of course, most people didn't know Lelouch was Zero, and for those who did the implication of the final episode is that they catch on but go along with it. For the world at large, Zero's all-concealing masked helmet and the fact that Suzaku is about the same height and (despite his superhuman physical abilities) has a very similar build to Lelouch means that nobody will catch on.

It isn't until near the end of the mission that Snake finds out that the real Miller died in his home three days prior.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Setzer of Final Fantasy VI takes on the personality and reputation of his mentor, Daryl, after she dies. There's also Cyan, who writes letters claiming to be a woman's long-distance boyfriend after her real boyfriend dies. Final Fantasy VII have Jenova do this trope. Example: Cloud's backstory revolve around this. Since he was rendered mentally unstable by experimentation (that involved injecting Jenova's cells on him) and trauma, and had little self-esteem before that point, he takes on the life story of his best friend, Zack. In the original, it was portrayed as Cloud finally snapping for good - in the remade scene in Crisis Core, the transformation is more subtle, as Cloud initially thanks the dying Zack for everything, before taking on his false SOLDIER persona in The Stinger. Either way, under the effect of the Jenova's cells, Cloud ends up creating an entirely different persona that took on Zack's memories, including believing that he was in SOLDIER, and the illusion comes apart in the most painful way possible later on. Once the creature emerged from the impact site and approached the Cetra settlement, it read their minds and adopted the forms of dead relatives to get close to them. This also applies to the aformentioned Cloud, which had the Jenova's cells reading Tifa's memories when she found him at the train station, being one of the factors in the creation of his SOLDIER persona. Hojo duped Sephiroth into believing this thing is his real mother. Thanks to the Jenova cells in her body, Lucrecia was unable to die, though; instead she fled, eventually winding up in the Crystal Cave where she turned herself to crystal (as a penance and, perhaps, to stop herself from mutating). Final Fantasy XII ends with Basch becoming "Gabranth", the identity of his just-deceased twin brother Noah, whose primary job is to act as the personal bodyguard of the Archadian emperor. Final Fantasy XIV has this as a reveal near the end of the 3.5 storyline when you learn that Yda is actually Lyse, her sister, who watched her die when escaping the Ala Mhigan invasion, and took up her name and mantle as a member of the Circle of Knowing.

By doing this they'll sometimes appear with their last victim's name, completing the ruse. With the Spy knife "Your Eternal Reward", this becomes the Spy's primary gameplay choice: The knife prevents the Spy from choosing a disguise. In return, all backstabs become silent, make the body disappear, and instantly disguise the Spy as the dead player.

Since Comber has connections in America and had papers that Flashman could use to blackmail his father-in-law (who financed the slave ship), Flashman ends up taking on his identity in America. Flashman being what he is, ultimately ends up as a wanted criminal under the Comber identity (although this means that later on, he can return to America as Flashman, British war hero, without most people connecting him with Comber).

Since the real Kojiro is still out there, (and is becoming more famous by the day) and Matahachi is using his name, this eventually causes Matahachi some problems.

Burton hadn't wanted to go on the school trip, and convinced Ken to go in his place. Due to the fact that they looked almost identical to each other, Ken was able to successfully pass himself off as Burton, only to be abducted and die in the game. Burton then took Ken's identity and moved across the country, trying to start up anti-SOTF movements in Ken's name.

The only name he can remember is "Brian", which is assumed to be his. Then remembers his squadmate and best friend Jack, who died in the landmine explosion. Except it was the other way around, as he learned painfully after informing Jack's girlfriend of his death (though one could say in a way, the landmine had killed both of them).

Dead Person Impersonation / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time: It's revealed early in season one that Rumplestilskin made a deal to get King George his son, Prince James. When James dies unexpectedly, and the king needs James to prevent a war, Rumplestilskin reveals that the family he got James from had twins. The king quickly grabs the twin, David, and forces him to play the role of his son. Oh, and David's nickname via Snow White? Prince Charming. In an episode of the second season, a plot twist reveals that the present-day Lancelot has been Cora in disguise all along. She reveals she murdered him long before the events of the episode. A major twist of season four is that Zelena murdered the real Marian and has been using a charm to assume her appearance the entire season.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: In Justice For All, there is a witness who got into a car crash with her sister. Her sister died and her face was mangled by the accident, and when surgically reconstructing her face, they mistakenly used her sister's driver's license photo. Without any alternatives, she assumed her sister's identity to escape from the consequences of her actions, including the fact that she was responsible for the crash. Furio Tigre from Trials and Tribulations takes the cake. He not only took over the identity of the person he had just killed, he did so to stage a different crime scene in order to throw off the time of death and frame the waitress in the restaurant where the murder took place. He THEN impersonates (badly, but the less-than-perceptive cast don't realize) the title character himself, to make sure said waitress is successfully tried due to his bad representation. This is inverted in the final case of Trials and Tribulations, where the ghost of Dahlia Hawthorne, being channeled by a spiritual technique where the channeler takes on the appearence of the one being channeled, pretends to be her still-living twin sister in order to frame Phoenix's sidekick Maya for murder. In the second Ace Attorney Investigations game: The president of Zheng Fa was assassinated 12 years prior to the game by his own Body Double (or rather, a hitman hired by the body double) who proceeded to rule the country in the president's place without anyone being the wiser, which kinda explains how the "brave" president everybody believed in is actually a Dirty Coward. This is used in Dual Destinies by the phantom, a international spy who, for the entire game, was disguised as the already dead Detective Bobby Fulbright. Yup, the guy you took as the run-off-the-mill "explain the facts for you while having a silly personality" guy is actually an international spy/terrorist, and is the person behind most of the game's events, as well as the guy who bombed Courtroom No. 4, which the trailers and even the game events lead you into thinking Ted Tonate must have done, by rule of the series. This is probably the biggest and most "twisty" Plot Twist in the entire series. It is revealed in Spirit of Justice that Queen Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in attempted to frame Dhurke Sahdmadhi, leader of the Defiant Dragons, and paint him as a murderer to kill the spirit of rebellion. However, after Dhurke had been killed by her husband Inga Kharkhuul Khura'in, and his body laid to rest in the tomb's empty sacrophagus, it only messed up her opportunity, so she had to keep up with the facade in order to ambush Inga. She stealthily opened the sarcophagus, took Dhurke's clothes and eyepatch from his own corpse, and dressed herself up in them before proceeding to literally and fatally stab Inga In the Back with a knife, thus pinning the crime on Dhurke himself... or at least his channeled spirit. Spirit of Justice also features a case where the person they are impersonating is themselves. When Dhurke is shot by Inga and is left to bleed to death, he asks Maya to channel him to help free herself, and also asks her to go back to her country and channel him again because he wants to see his adoptive son Apollo one last time. From that point until he stops being channeled, Dhurke is effectively impersonating himself as if he were still alive the whole time.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: Done in the X-Wing Series in a way that straddles this trope and Of Corpse He's Alive. The Wraiths capture a small ship and kill its captain before anyone can send a message back to the enemy fleet; hence the enemy is unaware of this. They decide to continue the ship's mission, masquerading as the original crew of the Night Caller, including her wildly egotistical captain—if he'd stopped commanding, the enemy would've noticed. He kept his Captain's Log in full holo; with so much data, they are able to mock-up a holographic overlay so that the team's actor can impersonate the captain in holo transmissions. The Hand of Thrawn has a triumvirate of villains collectively contriving to make it look as if Grand Admiral Thrawn has returned from the dead. One member handles supply, demand, and political fallout, one member composes tactics and strategy and expands on the triad's plans, and the third pulls off a very good acting job, aided by a subversion of We Will Not Use Stage Makeup In The Future. The second also contributes to the script and gives details to the actor, because secretly he was very close to Thrawn. By which it's meant that he's a human clone with part of Thrawn's mind and some of his mannerisms. Ironically, this deception indirectly causes the heroes to thwart Thrawn's own contingency plan for his death, a clone of himself that would've activated just weeks later. In Star Wars: Scoundrels, one member of Han's Caper Crew is an imposter who's stolen a dead person's identity and is aiding in The Caper for his own ends. It's Boba Fett; he's using the team to get close to and kill a high-ranking member of Black Sun for a bounty. His aim is to capture Han for his bounty afterward, but Han is suspicious enough to give him the slip.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_e89f120b	comment	Mobile Suit Gundam: Char Aznable is apparently one of these, but only in the Alternate Continuity manga Gundam: The Origin. In it, we find out that the Char we know - "Casval Daikun", in hiding as "Edward Mass" - befriended a real Char Aznable, a young man physically identical except for their eye colors. Due to a Twin Switch and an assassination attempt by the Zabis, the "late" Edward assumed the identity of the late Char, using Cool Shades and an equally Cool Mask to help avoid suspicion. He's found out quite later by his boss, Lady of War Kycilia, but she doesn't kill him on the spot and attempts to rope him in her own plans... which backfires massively when he blows her head off at the end of the series. Similarly, All There in the Manual reveals that there was a real Quattro Bageena, a pilot who died during the One Year War, and again, looked somewhat similar to Char. When Char joined up with the AEUG, he bought Quattro's ID off the black market in order to hide.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_f95c488f	comment	Arrowverse: Part of season 5 of Arrow sees Laurel's Evil Counterpart from Earth-2 pulling this on her. The Flash (2014) has this as part of the arc for the first season: Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash killed the real Harrison Wells and stole his appearance using a device from the future, and has spent over a decade basically wearing his face. Supergirl (2015) also has this: When Alex Danvers confronts Hank Henshaw about the death of her father, Jeremiah Danvers, he tells her the truth: He isn't Hank Henshaw. The real Hank Henshaw was hunting an alien refugee and died in a mad quest to kill him. The alien, J'onn J'onzz, swore to Jeremiah, who died protecting J'onn, to protect his daughters and started impersonating the real Henshaw.

Nobody catches on, despite a rather radical shift in personality (they assume the man has changed due to a near-death experience and generally being old).

Dead Person Impersonation / int_fd678b81	comment	In the tenth Dark Parables game, Goldilocks and the Fallen Star, the Sun Goddess reveals to the detective that the Queen of Barsia is actually a mechanical automaton. When the late king's daughters were children, one died in a tragic accident, and he had the royal craftsman create the lifelike mechanical copy in order to ease his other daughter's grief. No one knew that one of the princesses was really just a machine except for the king, the surviving princess, and the craftsman. Because the surviving princess was out of contact at the time of her father's death, the automaton was crowned queen by the council, who had no idea.

Dead Person Impersonation / int_fda9c8b	comment	Probably the case for "Patrick Crawley" of Downton Abbey. He has a horribly disfigured face from being wounded in World War I and a Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story (he claims he was mistakenly believed dead after the sinking of the Titanic, was rescued but had amnesia, then lived in Canada for a while and picked up a Canadian accent because he didn't even remember he was English) but his story is contrived enough that he's probably just trying to con the Crawleys into accepting him as a member of their wealthy family and heir to the estate and only Edith believes him.

He is a fake, but not in the way they thought: he is Stanley Pines, the one the paper says died, and assumed the identity of his brother Stanford Pines (who was alive, but missing).

Dead Person Impersonation / int_ff2165b	comment	An episode of Cold Case involved the case of a married couple initially thought to have been killed by an accidental gas leak that caused an explosion and fire in their home, only for evidence to surface revealing that it was the result of a bomb. After interviewing the friends of the couple who had visited them the weekend before, the detectives realized that one of them overheard the supposedly dead wife saying almost verbatim something that another friend had said to them. The detectives soon realized that after enticing her ex-lover to kill her husband and her friend (they wanted to confess about a crime they had all been involved in a decade earlier), the wife fled the home and assumed her now dead friend's identity—they bore a strong resemblance to each other and the woman apparently had no other friends or family who could reveal her secret.
