Killed to Uphold the Masquerade	comment	So, our Intrepid Reporter has discovered the world behind the masquerade, and she refuses to uphold it, destroy it, join it, or get Laser-Guided Amnesia, and in fact will go public with her discovery. The heroes (or villains, if it's the bad guys who are upholding the masquerade) will try to reason, plead, and maybe even threaten her into not going public. She may not care that, once exposed, those hidden by the masquerade will be persecuted and killed (which may be her goal if many of those protected are evil), or that The World Is Not Ready to know, or that it would generally just be a Bad IdeaTM . The heroes (or villains) then get to work. Try to destroy the evidence? She made multiple off-site backups. Bribery? She either doesn't want money or figures the exposÃ© will make her richer than what they offer. Blackmail? She doesn't care about her reputation being ruined as long as she ruins theirs. Mind-Control Device? She wears mirrored glasses. She has to die now. In a Crapsack World her death is pretty much guaranteed; good characters/players will probably agonize over this choice but ultimately do what they must and Shoot the Dog. If the author wants to let the heroes off the hook, then Villainous Rescue may come along and kill her for the heroes so they can avoid doing the deed, but not the guilt over having almost done it/strongly considered it. Often, this involves either faked suicide, suspicious accident, or messy murder. If the author is particular about not wanting blood on anyone's hands, the character may simply get Put on a Bus or suffer a fatal accident through their own fault. (Not that the readers won't know what is up.) The heroes may still feel guilty for covering up the details surrounding her death. Expect her death to either go completely unnoticed... or call the attention of a Hunter of Monsters in a later episode/story. May be an Elephant in the Living Room if this or Easy Amnesia are never brought up in a series with the masquerade, especially one managed by good guys. A leading cause of The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life. A notable aversion would be when the reporter experiences something so horrific at the hands of the villain note (Such as Eldritch Abominations singing terribly as a FORM OF TORTURE, or a Doomsday Device capable of killing anywhere from 1-101% of the population.) that she comes to believe that the masquerade is necessary, and from then on helps the heroes to maintain it. Contrast Safety in Muggles. Can potentially lead to Can't Stop The Signal.

While people who see past the masquerade often become hunters, the powerful conspiracies that hunt in the darkness will often kill as a last resort to not only cover up the existence of monsters but the dealings of the conspiracies. This is also the reason vampires and other creatures are so quick to kill to uphold the masquerade; witnesses often become hunters.

Doing so, however, allowed him the time he needed to escape with their newborn Half-Human Hybrid daughter and hide her before his superiors learned about her existence.

It is later revealed that one of the reasons why Clay bit and turned Elena into a werewolf was because Jeremy thought that Elena saw him transform back into human form. Knowing that he could not stop Jeremy from killing Elena, Clay bit her instead hoping that against all odds Elena might survive the transformation. Elena actually saw nothing and for years thought that Clay acted for purely selfish reasons.

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files notably averts it: title character Harry Dresden is in the phone book under "Wizards". Normal humans who poke their noses into the supernatural do frequently end up dead, but that's simply because supernatural beings like vampires and fairies tend to be a) very dangerous and b) jerks. Lampshaded in Proven Guilty when a vampire laughs at Harry when he threatens to expose him, claiming Harry wouldn't dare reveal the masquerade. He is horrified when Dresden informs him that anyone can look him up in the phone book under "Wizard". At first, Harry is hesitant to tell Murphy or the Alphas much about the real goings-on of the supernatural world for precisely this reason; he notes that the White Council gets real uppity about vanilla mortals, especially law enforcement, knowing anything about them. Fortunately, the White Council doesn't really learn that Murphy is aware of their existence, and they're too busy with the whole war against the vampires to terribly care. A different variant occurs in Turn Coat where, regardless of the outcome, Morgan is likely to be executed so that Merlin can maintain the illusion that the White Council is still strong and united. Ultimately, Morgan dies killing the person who framed him and his death as originally planned. Then there is the Oblivion War, a war so secret just knowing about it will leave a mystical mark on the mortal which other participants of the war can spot. The War is about a group of people trying to erase all mortal knowledge of the Old Ones, ancient evil demon-gods, so the more people who know the harder it is to do their job. They fight various cults of the Old Ones who want to bring them back. If a mortal finds out and won't join the defenders of reality, the defenders cannot hesitate to leave the person be.

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade / int_4797fe95	comment	Hunter: The Parenting, which takes place in the World of Darkness, touches on this trope in the first audiolog as the reason Big-D withholds information on vampires from the rest of the family— Vampires have eyes and ears everywhere in the form of mortal servants, and knowing too much could promptly get them all put on a hit-list if they slipped up and were noticed. So, while he's willing to provide a layman's introduction to vampires and their capabilities, he's unwilling to use or explain the formal names of the different vampire clans like "Nosferatu" or "Tremere", which in turn explains why Kitten uses crude nicknames; Vampires are so strict and deadly serious about keeping humanity convinced they don't exist that even knowing clan names would risk bringing every vampire in the region down on their heads. In fact, Big-D has a very loud panic attack when he accidentally says "Tremere" out loud and Kitten repeats it back to him, fearing for a moment that he may have just put his family in danger.

Ser Jory is killed when he tries to back out of the joining, after watching Daveth die, though it probably didn't help that he pulled a sword on Duncan.

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade / int_694ab80	comment	Batman Beyond has a sleazy reporter who has the power to become incorporeal, and who uses this power to discover Batman's identity. Nothing Bruce or Terry can say or do will convince him not to reveal Batman's identity on live television, which poses quite the problem since Batman doesn't kill people, even for his secret identity. Conveniently, the issue is settled for them when the reporter loses control of his powers, ultimately helplessly falling through the floor... and presumably continuing to fall until he reaches the Earth's core. Bruce also figured out that the reporter murdered the scientist who invented the intangibility technology and stole his work, making his final grisly fate quite karmic.

As the series is Backed by the Pentagon, the witnesses are never killed by the uniformed military, but the SGC's rivals are always eager to Shoot the Dog for them. They often gloat about this, saying that though SGC agrees that secrecy is paramount, they aren't willing to "make the hard choices", and take pride in murdering witnesses on their behalf. In a second season episode, a reporter threatens to go public with knowledge of the Stargate. Seconds after dismissing O'Neill in public, a passing car jumps the curb, sends him flying, and speeds away. O'Neill is fairly sure that he was Killed To Uphold The Masquerade, but General Hammond says that to his knowledge, it wasn't an assassination. The audience never finds out for sure either way. A Season Six episode has a reporter discover some evidence of one of the SGC's side programs. It turns out to be a NID plot, and the reporter is left empty-handed - but alive. A Season Eight episode has an entrepreneur salvage some wreckage from a fight between the Asgard and Goa'uld in Earth orbit, and produce an empty Asgard clone to the press. He was going to be killed by the shadowy conspiracy, but the SGC rescued him via Asgard beaming, sending him to explore other planets (which he was happy to do). Of course, his case for the existence of aliens was disproved. This was mostly because his company went bankrupt, causing him to lose all credibility.

But at the end of A Kingdom Submerged, some guards see the human Heath. They go back to the triple kingdoms and tell everyone else what they saw. The Record Master has them given a kind of bream that causes hallucinations and blames the resulting illnesses on "land sickness," a made-up disease that supposedly afflicts any merperson who goes near land, in order to discourage other citizens from visiting Vazula. Then he has the guards killed. It later turns out that three of the guards survived, escaped Vazula, and have been living as hermits in the open ocean ever since. The government still told everyone they died. When Merletta starts showing signs of land sickness, Sage and Emil take turns watching over her to prevent assassination attempts.

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade / int_a134c04a	comment	This is basically "Standard Plot Complication #3" in any gameline of The World of Darkness. Vampire: The Masquerade and Vampire: The Requiem in particular. Considering the former had vampires close to being wiped out during the Inquisition in Europe, and the prevalence of modern telecommunications, vampires are very aware that any slip could destroy their species. Usually averted in Mage: The Awakening. Even the Guardians of the Veil, the most secrecy-obsessed and Dirty Business-prone of the Pentacle orders, consider killing humans who might break the masquerade an absolute last resort, and mages have a great number of other ways to deal with troublesome Sleepers. It should also be noted that this isn't so much out of concern for the sleepers as it is to make sure that every mage careless enough to be identified by said sleeper/investigator can be discovered and killed. Since mages live mostly off the grid by necessity and mundanes very much do not, disposing of the masquerade-breakers is significantly more easy and effective than offing mortals, and leaves the investigator without any proof even if he somehow dodges the mind-wipe. Played with in Hunter: The Vigil. While people who see past the masquerade often become hunters, the powerful conspiracies that hunt in the darkness will often kill as a last resort to not only cover up the existence of monsters but the dealings of the conspiracies. This is also the reason vampires and other creatures are so quick to kill to uphold the masquerade; witnesses often become hunters. The last line of the Oath of the Moon in Werewolf: The Forsaken: "The Herd Must Not Know." Lunacy usually turns all memories of werewolves into memories of "big scary dudes with heavy beards" or "really big goddamn dogs", but not everyone is affected by it.

In Integra's defense, the reporter had stood idly by recording a sadistic vampire as he savagely fed on a human, never even trying to stop the vampire, save the victim, or report the vampire to... well, anyone. More than that. The reporter was the one who organized the entire thing. On the other hand, there are multiple occasions in the manga and OVAs where this trope is explicitly averted. Just about every conversation Integra has with anyone that is not already aware of the masquerade, usually overwhelmed and clueless local cops, starts with her explaining exactly what's going on in the process of assuming control of the situation with little regard for the idea of secrecy.

The Holy Grail War is meant to be kept under wraps through a combination of the Association, Church, and the Masters working together, but Dr. Eggman's blatant attacks and Sonic the Hedgehog and company's efforts to stop him have pretty much shattered the veil of secrecy as the military and police investigating Eggman are starting to figure out the strange things happening in Fuyuki both now and ten years ago with what little evidence the magi didn't scrub. Combined with Shirou and his allies fighting alongside Sonic and The Shadow gaining a will of its own to start attacking people, a lot of pressure is being put on, and Kirei, Rin, and Bazett are running themselves ragged trying to convince the Association not to nuke the city by pointing out the blatant threat of Eggman (and ironically enough, the military presence is biggest saving factor because wiping it out would likely start a war between Japan and Britain, which is the last thing the magi want).

In one of the earliest instances, the Director's assistant discovers CURE, a secret organization set up by President Kennedy to defend the country by working outside the bounds of the Constitution. The assistant then goes to The Director and tells him what he has discovered, and assures him he will never tell anyone. The Director has him killed anyway.

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade / int_b5ac41e8	comment	Call of the Night: A few weeks after Yamori has started hanging out with Nazuna, he's kidnapped by her vampire acquaintances and given an ultimatum: choose one of them to turn him into a vampire or die. Having an unturned human knowing too much about vampires is considered a risk to the existence of vampires being kept a secret, and so turning Yamori as soon as possible is the only alternative to killing him. Yamori has to explicitly get across that he wants to turn into a vampire, but that he has no concept of what it means to fall in love with someone (which is the main requirement for being turned into a vampire's offspring). Unfortunately for Yamori, humans have a time limit of a year since the first bite before they become unable to turn at all, and with Yamori having been bitten at the start of the story his time is already ticking. He is then allowed to continue hanging out with Nazuna on the condition that he turns before his time runs out, or the vampires will be forced to kill him. It is eventually downplayed when it becomes clear that Nazuna's friends don't really want to kill Yamori, and the condition is changed from "turn into a vampire" to "fall in love with Nazuna" as they start shipping the two together. Their reluctance to actually kill humans is further emphasized when a vampire-hunting detective shows up and killing her is not their first option, even though Anko demonstrates that she knows how to kill them and is both willing and able to do so, if given the chance. Rather than kill her, Nazuna's friends simply destroy their weaknesses before Anko can use them. Anko herself acknowledges that she's not really a risk to vampires since most people wouldn't believe her if she said that they are real... so she decides to take a more radical approach. An example of a vampire with less reluctance to kill humans in order to protect the masquerade is Susuki, though in her case she's also willing to crack down on fellow vampires who attract too much attention to their kind. She's first introduced to the plot by attempting to capture Anko in order to learn what she knows about Kiku (whose latest antics have severely risked revealing the existence of vampires to the world), making it clear that she will kill her once she's shared everything she knows. She also states her intention to kill Akira, who only knows the vaguest, most basic details about vampires through her friendship with Yamori. Fortunately for everyone she pulls a Heelâ€“Face Turn after Yamori defeats her in a fight and she falls in love with him as a result.

This is the logic behind Lancer killing Shirou in the opening. Granted, Shirou gets better, and it was really kinda pointless because Shirou already knew about magi and magecraft, being one himself. However, Lancer had no ability to know that, attacked Shirou (who despite knowing about magecraft, didn't know about the Holy Grail War and did not understand what he was seeing when he witnessed Lancer in action) before he could react, and Lancer's master is a Card-Carrying Villain. Rin mentions that under a strict interpretation of the rules, any non-magus who witnesses any magic, never mind major rituals like the Holy Grail War, needs to be eliminated. Memory spells are the preferred method, but killing all witnesses is an acceptable alternative. Rin always hated this rule, so she was careful there were never any witnesses she had to eliminate.

The first person the Laundry had to kill to keep knowledge of Eldritch Abominations from becoming known was Alan Turing, who'd discovered mathematical functions that allow for radically more systematic and efficient use of magic (and allowed computers to be used to perform them) instead of ad hoc systems prior. They realized soon after the only thing this had done was deny themselves a great source of knowledge. So from now on, they recruit anyone who looks like they're going to either do something great or do something disastrous (like Bob, the series' protagonist) - or at least offer them that option before killing them. In some cases, the Laundry would not try to recruit you but merely destroy your findings. It's also noted that a government agency needing both a continued budget and a distinct lack of oversight takes a severe risk when assassinating its parent government's citizens, and doing so is usually the most expensive option in terms of both monetary and political capital. But a Justified Trope among vampires. The Laundry doesn't believe vampires exist, as even a small number would dramatically increase the death rate in Britain. Turns out the only successful vampires are psychopaths, so if one vampire encounters another, they will try to kill each other to ensure their population remains at minuscule levels and thus undetected.

In "The Frustrating Thing About Psychopaths", a serial killer stabs Henry so he's bleeding out internally from a guaranteed fatal wound, then they both tumble down a flight of stairs and Henry winds up with a broken neck; the killer then stomps on Henry's broken spine for good measure. There is absolutely no way Henry could explain surviving this to Jo, who's upstairs. Adam appears, and tells Henry he's doing him a favor before slitting his throat, killing him near-instantly before Jo gets that far in her search. Henry deduces by the cut to the throat that Adam has killed people in this manner before.

Even the Guardians of the Veil, the most secrecy-obsessed and Dirty Business-prone of the Pentacle orders, consider killing humans who might break the masquerade an absolute last resort, and mages have a great number of other ways to deal with troublesome Sleepers. It should also be noted that this isn't so much out of concern for the sleepers as it is to make sure that every mage careless enough to be identified by said sleeper/investigator can be discovered and killed. Since mages live mostly off the grid by necessity and mundanes very much do not, disposing of the masquerade-breakers is significantly more easy and effective than offing mortals, and leaves the investigator without any proof even if he somehow dodges the mind-wipe.

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade / int_f7d93e4a	comment	Assassin's Creed: In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood some of the audio files in Subject 16's data suggest this is what The Knights Templar aka Abstergo Industries do to people in the modern day. In this universe, all vehicles have a monitoring system used by Abstergo to keep tabs on everyone. One of the audio clips has a reporter discussing some findings about Abstergo in a car and being listened to on a hidden microphone. Some Templar agents then casually discuss eliminating him. Also in this universe, all televisions have hidden information on their customers like their biology, their conditions, their likes, their dislikes; everything about them. Another audio clip has a man finding a hidden TV channel with his bio signs and other information on it, he telephones the TV company (Abstergo) and the company sends a "technician" who breaks down the door. Call ends. Made even more disturbing by the child in the background yelling, "Dad! Someone's at the door!" Shaun implies that this would have been his fate if the templars instead of the assassins had found him first when Desmond asks him how he joined the assassins in Assassin's Creed II.

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade / int_faf84cd	comment	In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, the plot starts with the vampire that Embraced the Player Character getting offed for a Masquerade Violation, and you can get at least three quests to kill someone who's threatening, or in one case has already broken, the masquerade. You also run into someone who knew you before you were Embraced, and if you can't convince her you're not who she thinks you are, you have to kill her before she makes a phone call or receives a Masquerade Violation. If the player racks up too many Violations, they will also be killed. Smiling Jack from the tutorial summarizes the masquerade thus: "We're living in the age of cell phone cameras; fuck-ups ain't tolerated!" Invoked by the Mandarin, who gets rid of his now useless criminal associate Johnny by tricking him into unmasking you as a vampire, correctly guessing you will have no choice but to react with this trope.

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade / int_fe83990a	comment	In Saint Seiya, each and every female Athena Saint had to use a mask and never let any man see her face. If one ever did she only had two options: kill him, or love him. (Some fans have joked that the true reason was that Athena couldn't stand not being the hottest chick in the whole place.) To be sure, this is more upholding a LITERAL masquerade (as in, people with masks) than the figurative one this trope is about. Doesn't seem to be the case in The Lost Canvas, though it's uncertain if it's canon or not. This rule gets broken by Shaina and Marin several times in the series, so either Athena stopped caring, or the female saints consider it more a question of personal honor than an actual rule, or they learned to use loopholes like "I love him... as a brother". Or something like that.
