The Devil is an evil, sneaky fellow who sometimes likes to go incognito among the living to manipulate people and stir up some sin, or maybe just tempt some mortals and secure a few more souls for himself. Alternatively, maybe he has simply sent an agent of some sort to do his dirty work for him. Either way, there's a demon hiding among the living and this time, he may well have a less obvious name than Louis Cypher. Super-Trope to Louis Cypher, which is a trope where he leaves rather obvious hints as to his identity. For the situation described in the Elvis song, see Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon. Contrast God Was My Copilot. |

In Phantasy Star IV, you are accompanied for the span of one dungeon by an adventurer named Seth. While his name doesn't really say anything of what he really is, using the Talk command from the menu gives subtle hints, and his abilities (most, if not all of which were used in previous fights by Dark Force) are almost a dead give away if you are paying attention. "Seth" is also the name of the ancient Egyptian god of darkness, as well as the father of all mankind in Judeo-Christian mythology. | |

Open Blue: Mr. Anon is a case where the name isn't quite obvious. Indeed, it doesn't even seem to mean anything, and isn't even shorthand for Anonymous. The clue for RPers, however, are his catchphrases, tendency to ask people to guess his name, and favorite activity of making deals with people. | |

In The Twilight Zone, the Devil and his underlings usually appear in the guise of ordinary people. In "The Howling Man", he appears to be some poor guy who's been imprisoned by an apparently crazy monk, but when someone takes pity and releases him his horns and tail reappear. In "Escape Claus", the Devil appears as a man named Cadwallader, although he all but admits that it's a false name "It has a nice feeling on the tongue.", and while he never admits to being the Devil, he makes very little attempt to hide the fact apart from his human form. Mister Pip from "A Nice Place to Visit" is Satan, or at least one of his demons, disguised as a guardian angel... who looks human. Professor Daemon from "The Chaser" is implied to be this trope. Mister Smith in "Printer's Devil". Miss Devlin in "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville", although she drops the act once the protagonist figures out what she is. |

In Hellgate: London, the story's narrator / hero's sidekick Murmur turns out to be the Duke of Hell with the same name. To be fair, the name's a lot more subtle than Lou Cypher, and isn't likely to mean anything to players without a background in demonology mythology and/or who aren't Shin Megami Tensei fans. | |

Implied in O Brother, Where Art Thou? when the main three pick up a hitchhiker named Tommy Johnson (who may or may not be the real-life blues musician by that name) who claims to have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the ability to play the guitar. He describes him as being a white man, having mirrors for eyes and a vicious dog. For some people, it takes a second viewing to discover that those descriptions perfectly fit Sheriff Cooley, the antagonist hunting the three down. | |

Xellos from Slayers. Among his Always Chaotic Evil kind, he's the most powerful one (not counting godlike Dark Lords), but prefers to use manipulation rather than violence. Two of the most powerful Dark Lords actually died from the consequences of one of them employing Xellos against the other — the second-strongest managed to injure him in one-on-one battle, but he still got away. He's also honorable in his own way and can be a good company when he wants. In his world, few humans have thorough knowledge of demonology, so he walks among them under his own name and title. Not to mention that his self-proclaimed title is "Mysterious Priest". If people assume "Priest" always means "user of White Magic", it's their fault. | |

This trope was invoked in The Last Temptation of Christ, during Jesus's final temptation while on the cross. A young girl introduces herself as an angel, says that Jesus has done enough, and offers him an escape from the cross. This girl accompanies him as a friend through a happy life with a wife and children. But this "friend" is actually Lucifer, and these years after escaping the cross were All Just a Dream to tempt Jesus into abandoning his role as Sacrificial Lion. As soon as Jesus rebukes this temptation, the illusion ceases and he instantly returns dying on the cross, accepting it as his destiny. | |

Angel Heart: The Devil poses as a human businessman named Louis Cypher to lead a man to his doom who previously made a Deal with the Devil before trying to screw him over. At the end, when the man discovers the truth but is still very much in denial, Mephistopheles suggests he could just turn into a Big Red Devil if that's what it takes to convince him. He doesn't, instead settling for some spooky yellow eyes for a few seconds. | |

The mysterious stranger in Red Dead Redemption never actually identifies himself (he claims, in a possibly sarcastic tone, to have forgotten his name), but he appears in locations that such a Sharp-Dressed Man has no business in being, knows a huge amount about John's past (including the name of one of the random civilians John's gang killed in their outlaw days), calls himself "an accountant, in a way", and when John gets fed up and demands answers or "[he] will not be responsible for [his] actions" he calmly tells him "Oh, but you will be responsible". John then shouts "Damn you!", the man replies "Yes, many have", doesn't seem to notice the three bullets John shoots at him, and then just vanishes. This is after a conversation where he muses over what a beautiful spot they're at, which is right where John later gets buried. It's not clear who exactly he is; common interpretations are that the man is God, St Peter, Death, or, of course, the Devil. | |

A common situation in Jack Chick's Chick Tracts (for example, Somebody Goofed). A person is considering accepting Jesus, but a friend convinces him not to — "you'll lose all your friends" or "you have plenty of time for that later".

Goblins in the Castle: Helagon, the evil wizard and villain of Goblins on the Prowl, turns out to be one of the demons from the Pit of Thogmoth who's been trying to get back into it this whole time, but disguised himself as a human. He only reveals his true form at the last minute, which is part of what inspires Fauna to banish him back there. | |

Played in a wonderful subversion in Heinlein's Job: A Comedy of Justice when the protagonist finds out that the only friend he and his wife made through their ordeal was actually the devil himself. Not only had he shown him genuine mercy and friendship, he had turned down the bet with God, thinking it sick and cruel. | |

In Raise Some Hell, this trope is played straight, in the case of Dean Montgomery. | |

In Whacked!, the host and producer of the titular Blood Sport game show is Satan. He doesn't look out of place with all of the other toon characters until he reveals himself when his show gets canceled. He invented the game show to attract malevolent souls to claim. | |

In Demon: The Descent, every demon is in disguise: a demon without a Cover has a lifespan comparable to that of a vampire going for a jog in the park at noon on a sunny day. Many painstakingly build effective disguises by squirrelling away bits of other people's lives or even stepping fully formed into the life of someone who's made a soul pact. Many of the more powerful abilities of the Unchained fray their Cover a bit, and "going loud" — sacrificing their Cover for a massive, if temporary, power boost — is viewed as a Dangerous Forbidden Technique and considered "the nuclear option", because few demons who pull it live long enough to do so twice. | |

M-Cell in Cells at Work! is a heroic version; he appears as a friendly bartender who provides refuge for invading bacteria to relax and not worry about being hunted by immune cells... up until he leads them into a room packed to the brim with immune cells, revealing his bar is a Peyer Patch that is harmless to normal cells but an Inescapable Ambush for pathogens. | |
