The guy who's The Mole on both sides of a conflict. He works for both sides and plays them off against each other. Although often shown as a villain, he can also be a likeable rogue who just happens to have flexible loyalties, or who has problems with both sides and enjoys setting them on each other. He can even be loyal to one side, and willing to engage in the Dirty Business of faking being an agent for the other; The Mole who engages in Becoming the Mask may turn into this. Although it's possible to find a Double Agent in a crime drama, usually as an inside man in the Mob, he's more often seen in spy dramas. The Double Agent is often The Chessmaster. Becomes the Double Reverse Quadruple Agent when taken to the extreme. |

In Star Trek Online, the Romulan Playable Character tries to be this towards the Tal Shiar and it works... until you hop through an Iconian Gateway and land into the clutches of General Hakeev, who instantly recognizes you. He proceeds to brainwash you until you're rescued by another double agent who hasn't been caught yet. | |

In Bleach, Gin was working with Aizen to kill him— Gin wanted to avenge the way Aizen had abused his Only Friend Rangiku. It took him a century to obtain both the information needed, and the actual opportunity itself, to make the assassination attempt. | |

In the second book of Watchers of the Throne, Fadix pretends to side with the enemy only to double-cross them at the last minute. Interestingly, he's ideologically aligned with Imperium Eterna; he simply thinks that given time, the Lord Regent whom Reform Council supports will come to share his views, so no Civil War is needed. | |

In the last 3 special episodes of season 3 of Totally Spies!, Dean, a fellow WOOHP agent and one of the few hot guys that all of the three girls fall for is revealed in the second episode to be a double agent working for Terrence, Jerry's twin brother who changed his face in resentment of him, to revenge on Jerry and destroy WOOHP, only to be revealed to be a "quadruple agent" (as said by Alex) in the third episode. He says he had to switch side to keep the girls safe, which makes no sense whatsoever (other than being a ridiculous plot twist) because he literally left them to die earlier, not to mention that he backpedals immediately and says "I knew you'd find a way out somehow," not to mention again even Terrence himself also somehow manages to get a Jerry mask under his face mask and over his real face, which fools a guard to let him out of custody at the end of the episode. Not as absurd as a Double Reverse Quadruple Agent, but still absurd. | |

The roleplaying game Paranoia involves so many conflicting goals that the PCs are basically forced into this. If they aren't, you're doing it wrong. Unless they're triple or quadruple agents instead, in which case you're doing it very right. The premise of Paranoia is that mutants and members of secret societies are by definition traitors who must be executed by the Troubleshooters (they find trouble, and then they shoot it). Your character is a Troubleshooter. Your character is also a mutant. And a member of a secret society. Won't this be fun? | |

Harry Potter: Severus Snape. His true allegiance is one of the Big Mysteries of the first six books, and, after frantic Epileptic Trees regarding the sixth book's ending, in the seventh it at last turns out that he was Good All Along, and that he helped Dumbledore because he was in love with Lily and felt guilty that she died because he was a Death Eater and was the one who related the prophecy to Voldemort. | |

He was originally loyal to the Court but gradually grew disgusted with them and wanted them gone. He's ultimately able to pull off a scheme that results in the entire Court being wiped out, but not before he sold out the Fellowship as part of the scheme. | |

Ryouji Kaji of Neon Genesis Evangelion is employed by NERV, SEELE, and the Japanese government to spy on and steal information from one another, while at same time pursuing his own goal: discovering the truth about The Conspiracy for himself. While none of the organisations are aware of his personal quest, NERV knows he's a double agent, SEELE suspects it, and the National Security Agency is relatively clueless. Eventually, one of the factions (either SEELE or NERV, per Word of Anno) gets sick of his backstabbing and calls in a hit on him. He knew that they would do it, so he just greets the killer and asks them what took them so long before he's shot dead. | |

In Infernal, there's some uncertainty for a while as to whose side Barbara Mitchell is on. She's part of EtherLight, but friends with Lennox (who's now working for the opposition), and gives both of them the impression that she's on their side. She appears to be feeding Lennox information, but then is (unsuccessfully) insistent that Lennox should hand an electronic whatsit over to her without waiting for questions, and when Lennox is later captured, she is congratulated for tricking him. Then she helps him escape... but declines to join him, claiming that she can be of more use pretending to be loyal to EtherLight. It's only when a soldier catches her transmitting to Lennox, and Lennox subsequently rescues her, that she makes her allegiance (with Lennox) clear to everyone. | |

In Earth: Final Conflict, William Boone does this in season 1, becoming Protector to Da'an, whose loyalty is supposedly ensured by his brain implant. Except the implant was modified by La Résistance to remove that functionality. But while Boone works with the Resistance, he does not follow Jonathan Doors's orders blindly and he also enjoys a close relationship with Da'an, trying to understand Taelon culture. In seasons 2-4, the same role is taken by his Replacement Goldfish Liam Kincaid, even more because Liam eventually becomes the Rebel Leader. | |

In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, it's shown that Axel wasn't actually a double agent — he was a quintuple agent. At one point, he pretended to join in with Marluxia's conspiracy, in order to get close enough to eliminate him as a traitor on Xemnas' orders, while really working with Saix so they can overthrow Xemnas themselves. At the same time, he helped both Sora and Namine, only partially because they would destroy Marluxia for him, and wiped out two Organization members who were still loyal to Xemnas to avoid anyone else using the knowledge of the Replica Project. In the end, of course, Axel's only real loyalty is to himself (though he tends to include his friends in that, whether they like it or not). | |

Ada Wong in the Resident Evil games plays both sides so many times that nobody's even sure what side she is on. Starting in Resident Evil 2 (which is her debut appearance), she pretends to be a civilian looking for her boyfriend in the Zombie Apocalypse, only to be revealed as a spy sent to recover the G-Virus. Because Leon kept going out of his way to protect her and even taking a bullet for her, she warms up to him a bit and tosses him a rocket launcher at the end of the game to take out the recurring monster that's been stalking him the whole game (Claire gets the same help if she's the player character in the "B" scenario). Resident Evil 4 has her working for Wesker to obtain a sample of the Las Plagas and is ordered to kill Leon. She still does her job, but she discreetly helps Leon out without him knowing and in the end, she tosses down a rocket launcher to him so he can finally take out the cult's leader. Ada forces Leon to give him the sample at gunpoint, but she gives him keys to a jet ski so that he can escape the island. By Resident Evil 6, she appears again working for a new organization involving the C-Virus and helps Leon and the other main characters out when she can. Her cloudy alliance gets lampshaded when Helena asks if Ada can be trusted, only for Leon to respond that it's not an easy question to answer. | |

Gaea from the Noob franchise, while a self-serving Manipulative Bastard, is still nominally part of the Empire and the Noob guild thanks to game mechanics. She also works with the hacker who wants to drive players out of the game for in-game currency and other perks. Then, thanks to a Frame-Up, a bunch of Coalition players get convinced that she's a double agent loyal to the Coalition. Gaea never sets them right because extra players that can take the bullet for her are always a good thing from her point a view. This situation gets an extra level of complexity when Gaea eventually joins the Coalition, but her second gaming avatar remains an Empire and Noob guild member, but the closest she ever gets to actual spying is getting paid to give the Empire top guild information about the hacker. | |

Kratos in Tales of Symphonia: he starts out good, then turns out to be part of Cruxis, so you fight him, then he helps out the good guys anyway for his own inscrutable purposes. There's also Zelos who is working all three sides at once and depending on game choices will either completely join your side after faking a betrayal or actually betray you, fight against you, and die. Not to mention Yuan, who starts out trying to kill you (and already acting as a double agent for two sides), then agrees to an alliance, then betrays you, and then finally decides to help you after all when the double agent act collapses. And then there's Mithos' mid-game Helpful NPC stint... | |

Taken to ridiculous extremes in Cypher. Almost every character is a double agent, to the extent you'll be sure that even the cleaners had a hidden agenda. And the protagonist is.. well, let's see.. He starts as a spy for Digicorp, they brainwash him into a double agent to be planted at Sunways, but Sunways had the brainwashing sabotaged so he could be a triple spy, then he contacts Foster to become a spy for Rooks, then gets tempted into betraying Rooks for Digicorp as Rooks mole in Digicorp had planned all along, and then turns out to be Rooks himself playing all the others. So that's 6 times, a Sextuple spy. Yeah. | |

Ari in NCIS was like this. He was manipulating all sides for personal reasons. Ironically, the heads of both sides thought Ziva was spying on them. As it happens, both Director Vance and her father were completely wrong, but it allowed them to spend several episodes being a Jerkass to the conflicted Ziva. |

Shadows of the Empire: Xizor calls together his Vigos (lieutenants) knowing one of them has been spying on Black Sun, then has Guri kill the spy, who's revealed to be the Human Vigo Green, once they all deliver the reports of their areas' earnings, after letting Durga the Hutt sweat to warn him against making any similar disloyal moves. He sternly lectures them first about how ungrateful it is to be betraying Black Sun, given how each of them enjoys significant power, status and wealth. | |

Taizou Kirihara in Code Geass, the head of one of the "Six Houses of Kyoto", a group of Japanese noble families that still retain power after Japan has been conquered, by supporting Britannian rule. However, Lelouch figures out that he's secretly the head of the Kyoto Group, which gives funds and supplies to resistance groups and offers to help the Black Knights. "A double agent... how cliche." Kirihara also was behind the coverup of Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi's death at the hands of his 10-year-old son Suzaku, helping make everyone believe Genbu had commited seppuku. | |

Metal Gear Solid Revolver Ocelot is the definition of this; the end of each game has him talking with some puppetmaster or another over the phone, making known his double, triple, and quadruple crosses but never quite explaining what they are when all is said and done. It seems Ocelot worked for the American CIA before transferring his allegiance to Big Boss. Everything else was him playing multiple sides for Big Boss's sake. Of course, it still fits as being out for himself, because he really respects Big Boss. Loads of them show up in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. In addition to Ocelot himself we also have The Boss and EVA. |

Gajeel of Fairy Tail used to be one between Fairy Tail and Raven Tail, though loyal to Fairy Tail. The information he gets from Raven Tail never really comes to use, as before Fairy Tail can find Raven Tail and stop them in their tracks, fate has them meet in the Grand Magic Games. Laxus defeats them, and they realize that Gajeel was really loyal to Fairy Tail all along, making his agent status obsolete. However, they only make a blink-and-you-miss-it comment about it, and what Gajeel did and found out as a double agent is never expanded on. | |

The Spy in Team Fortress 2. His entire play style is based around convincing the enemy that you're one of them before backstabbing them. Described in his trading card as a "double reverse quadruple agent." It's possible to dominate one of your own teammates by healing an enemy spy while he backstabs your team. Called out by name if a Medic targets an apparent friendly spy when calling "Spy!" Indeed, the game mechanics facilitate this — if, for example, a RED spy disguises as a BLU spy, the BLU team will see that spy as a BLU spy disguised as a RED team member...maybe even a RED spy. |

Doctor Who: This comes up twice in "Spyfall": Corrupt Corporate Executive Daniel Barton used to work for MI6, but eventually stopped cooperating with them, and the agency came to suspect he'd become a double agent. It turns out he now works for/with the Master. Later, the Doctor engineers her escape from 1943 Paris by framing the Master's German officer disguise for being a double agent, leaving him in a sticky situation being held at gunpoint while she, Ada Lovelace and Noor Inayat Khan steal his TARDIS, forcing him to take The Slow Path back to 2020. |

Harley Filben of Deus Ex works for the NSF as a mole for UNATCO, but is actually working for the NSF as part of his duties for the Illuminati. It should also be noted that every time Harley Filben reveals that he's working as a double agent for whatever organization at the time, JC Denton himself is currently allied with that faction. | |

Ryan O'Reily in the HBO series Oz, who worked rival gang leaders against each other by frequently pledging loyalty to each of them and suggesting opposing plans of attack in order to get them to murder each other. He's rather a self-interested manipulator, using one faction against another to survive. | |

In Shorts Wars, cdotkom "Charlie" is friends with the Shorts creators, until later they find out that he has been secretly working with The Boss the whole time and actually betrayed them. Little did they know, that cdot was actually working *against* The Boss the whole time, and was actually the one who saved RoyalMelon from the explosion, leaked the logs that would later reveal The Boss' true identity and backstory and even helped the other creators destroy the second facility in the end. | |

Le Bureau des Légendes: Not suprisingly in an espionage thriller, there are several who qualify: Malotru First, becomes a mole for the American CIA while working for the French General Directorate for External Security (DGSE). Then, works for the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB), eventually becoming a mole for the DGSE. Finally, returns to the FSB but is coaxed into forcing his handler to work for the DGSE. Dr. Laurene Balmes, hired by the DGSE, is already working for the CIA. Cochise, informed for the DGSE while an Iraqi official, after becoming an ISIS officer, he reaches out to the DGSE and is eventually exfiltrated and debriefed after rescuing Malotru. Marina Loiseau, quits the DGSE, is recruited by a Mossad (Israeli intelligence agency) agent pretending to be from the DGSE, and works for Mossad while reporting back to the DGSE. Pacemaker, infiltrates the FSB as a DGSE mole |

Burn Notice: During the first half of season 1, Michael's friend and teammate Sam Axe got blackmailed into informing on him to the FBI with threats to his Navy pension. Michael figured it out almost immediately and, when he revealed he knew to Sam, he said it was better this way, because this means he can control the amount of information Sam feeds them to keep them from getting too deep in his business. Sam was relieved and happily agreed to this. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Axel, firstly in Kingdom Hearts II. And especially him in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, it's shown that Axel wasn't actually a double agent — he was a quintuple agent. At one point, he pretended to join in with Marluxia's conspiracy, in order to get close enough to eliminate him as a traitor on Xemnas' orders, while really working with Saix so they can overthrow Xemnas themselves. At the same time, he helped both Sora and Namine, only partially because they would destroy Marluxia for him, and wiped out two Organization members who were still loyal to Xemnas to avoid anyone else using the knowledge of the Replica Project. In the end, of course, Axel's only real loyalty is to himself (though he tends to include his friends in that, whether they like it or not). |
