The presence of a narrator in some form is one of the most fundamental tropes, but that doesn't stop writers from having some fun with it. For the purposes of this trope, the narrator is an in-story character, but their exact identity is kept obscured from the audience until the closing moments of the tale, where they dramatically reveal, implicitly or otherwise, that they had a role in the action, and a vested interest in the story's outcome. In fact, it might be why they're relating the story to you in the first place. Note that this only applies when the narrator's identity is a form of Tomato Surprise. Many stories openly acknowledge the narrator's identity as an in-story character from the very beginning, and are not examples of this trope. This is especially likely to happen in fictional film and television works made after, say, 1990. Since the camera itself is usually omniscient, having an omniscient independent narrator on top of it seems to be frowned on by scriptwriters, even when one might be useful. So the filmmakers have what sounds like an omniscient narrator, and then flippantly ID the character in the last pre-credits reel. In video games, it is likely the narrator is the Final Boss themselves should this trope kick in. Related to the Literary Agent Hypothesis. Can overlap with Unreliable Narrator. If the story is being told to another character in-universe, it's …And That Little Girl Was Me. Compare Unseen Audience, Nostalgic Narrator, I Should Write a Book About This, Delayed Narrator Introduction, Future Self Reveal. Warning: Unmarked spoilers ahead. |

The Crystal and the Mirage has Rarity being told a tale about a unicorn and a dragon that fell in love in the past by her "Grandpa Merc", a distant relative of hers, to help her with her own hang ups on a relationship she's not sure of. At the end, it's revealed to be the story about how he and her great-great-great-grandmother met and fell in love, and he's secretly the dragon, Mirage. | |

The Doctor Who Novelisations version of Day of the Doctor manages to keep doing this. Having established early on that when the Doctor is narrating, he refers to himself in the third person, and that the narrator is constantly changing, the reader is never sure if the narrator is the Doctor until he slips, or the chapter gets so in-depth about how much he sucks that it's clear only one person hates him that much. And even if you go into a chapter assuming that it's narrated by the Doctor, you don't know which one. And then there's the mysterious figure narrating between the chapters who turns out to be the Curator, which he supposes means he's also the Doctor... | |

A subversion occurs in the German RPG-Maker Game Vampires Dawn: The main narrative is derived from a grandfather telling his grandson a story about vampires. However, both games have Multiple Endings and the Evil/Difficult ending in the second game reveals that the grandfather was actually the protagonist of his own story all along, who used a powerful magical artifact to travel back in time, prevent himself from ever becoming a vampire and live a peaceful life instead. | |

The Homestuck Epilogues: Partway through Meat, Dirk hijacks the narrative in such a way that implies that he was narrating at least the events of Meat up to that point the entire time. This and some general odd signs in Candy suggest that someone else was narrating Candy the whole time, although it's ambiguous as to if it's also Dirk, Alternate Calliope (who also takes over the narrative in Meat and specifically mentions a speakerless story turning out to have a speaker in Candy, even pulling off the same trick of black text turning to her text color), Meat "Alpha" Calliope (who is offhandedly mentioned painting some things on their walls that loosely fit the events of Candy), some other party, or a combination of different narrators. | |

Another villain example (and an odd example of this) is in Gankutsuou. The opening narration is done by the same actor as the one voicing the Count, who he refers to as "my friend". At first you might think that the narrator is supposed to be Alexandre Dumas (especially since in the sub, the narration is delivered in French), but it eventually becomes clear that the narrator is actually the titular Gankutsuou, the evil split personality of/demon possessing the Count. | |

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance: The final ending reveals that the narrator of the Opening and Epilogue is Isaac's Dad, telling the events of the game to Isaac as a bedtime story. This is foreshadowed during the Ascent to reach the Home floor, in one of the last flashbacks Dad's tone gets lower and he sounds much more like the usual narrational voice. Edmund McMillen casually dropped the narrator's identity on Twitter in response to a question before Repentance was released, but it was presented as small trivia. In-game the reveal is more important than the tweet implied it was. | |

Irvine Welsh's novel Filth appears to have four narrators: the main character Bruce Robertson, a crooked, racist, misogynistic, manipulative, and promiscuous policeman; his estranged wife Carole, whose chapters are written in bold; the unnamed murderer, whose crime Bruce is investigating, and whose only chapter is also written in bold; and an unusually self-aware tapeworm living in Bruce's intestines, whose narrations are inside tube-like structures that interrupt Bruce's narrations in some places. In the end it turns out that the "Carole" chapters are in fact narrated by Bruce wearing her clothes and make-up as a way of coping with their separation. What is more, the "murderer" was also Bruce dressed as Carole and the victim was the man who had had an affair with the real Carole. | |

Just before the final level, it is revealed to be the voice of The Chronicler, who is watching events unfold as he writes them into the Great Big Book of Everything. He then returns to his previous (and true) role to give a few words of hope after what is otherwise a borderline Downer Ending. | |

The final scene of 300 reveals that the narrator was Dilios, relating the film's events to a much larger army of Spartans and Greeks prior to a full-scale battle with Persia.

Sort of inverted in the first book of The Stormlight Archive. The character Dalinar has periodic visions of ancient history narrated to him by an unknown presence. At the end of the book he has two revelations: the narrator's identity (the God of his religion) and that he is not actually narrating to him, it's just an anonymous recording like a message in a bottle, because he's already dead. So in this case a narrator that was thought to play a direct role in the story is revealed not to. | |

Age of Empires II: In the Barbarossa campaign, a man in a tavern is telling the story of Frederick Barbarossa, and at the end, mentions that with Barbarossa gone, no one was stopping Henry the Lion from returning to the empire. And then he says: "But I am an old man now. What harm could I possibly do?", revealing himself to be Henry the Lion. The El Cid campaign is narrated by a woman you met in the Valencia market, who quickly turns out to be Jimena, the titular character's widow. And while it's not directly this trope, the narrator of the Attila the Hun campaign, who became a priest, reveals at the end that he still misses the thrill of battle. Age of Empires likes playing with its narrators. The Dracula campaign was narrated by a young soldier who meets an old man in the ancient stronghold of Vlad Dracula who gives him and his comrades shelter and tells them a story of Vlad the Impaler. At the end of the campaign, where the young soldiers were planning to go to the monastery at Snagov to pay respect to Dracula's grave, asking the old man if he wished to accompany them, which he accepts. In the HD version, the old man reveals himself as Istvan, one of Dracula's companions, but this was omitted in the Definitive Edition, changing the old man to be one of Dracula's loyal soldiers. The Sforza campaign was narrated by an old Condottiero who remembers Francesco Sforza's rise from mercenary to Duke of Milan. In the HD edition, this Condottiero tells Sforza's story to an university student at Florence, in which in the epilogue reveals himself to be Niccolò Machiavelli, who was writing "The Prince" at the time. However, in the Definitive Edition, the Condottiero reveals himself to be Micheletto, Sforza's cousin, both of whom were working for Venice until Sforza betrayed him while Milan and Venice were at war with each other. Machiavelli was omitted, as he wasn't even born around Micheletto's time The Pachacuti campaign is narrated by an old man who tells the player of Pachacuti's reign. The epilogue reveals that the man is Apo Mayta, Pachacuti's general during his reign, who retired after the end of the fighting. The Le Loi campaign in the HD version is narrated by an old man who tells the player about the Lam Son rebellion, which was under the leadership of the Dai Viet rebel leader, Le Loi. The old man would reveals himself to be Wang Tong, the Ming general that fought against Le Loi. However, this is altered in the Definitive Edition, replacing the narrator with a younger Vietnamese man. The Tamerlane campaign is narrated by a Lithuanian nobleman who gives sanctuary to a man escaping Tamerlane's wrath. The man is none other than Tokhtamysh Khan, who was Tamerlane's companion until he betrayed him and tried to take total control of the Horde. Tamerlane defeated Tokhtamysh Khan in retaliation, and he was forced into exile to escape his pursuer. Although the nobleman's name is never revealed, it is likely to be Grand Duke Vytautas. The Ivaylo campaign is narrated by a woman, who tells her unnamed daughter about the short reign of Tsar Ivaylo of Bulgaria. The woman is revealed to be Maria Palaiologina, Ivaylo's wife after he killed her first husband, Tsar Konstantin Tikh. The Algirdas and Kestutis campaign is narrated by a prisoner who tells a foreigner of Algirdas and Kestutis's struggle against the Teutonic Knights. The prisoner is revealed to be Jogaila, Algirdas's son who was imprisoned by Kestutis for negotiating with the Knights. The Thoros the Great has an unorthodox one in that the narrator is revealed to be a character who appeared in a previous campaign and that The Reveal occurs midway through the campaign. In the opening of the third mission, the narrator reveals himself to be Reynald de Chatillon, the first Arc Villain of the Saladin campaign, and that he had been hired by the Byzantine Emperor to assist the The Knights Templar in a dispute with Thoros, making him once again an Arc Villain. |

L.A. Noire: Not directly addressed in-game, but nevertheless present. When players hear the narration in the tutorial levels at the beginning of the game, they don't usually think much of it because once the game begins proper, the narrator is gone. But the identity of the narrator is actually a character that's only introduced in the final hours in the game: Herschel Biggs, Phelp's final partner. Playing the tutorial levels again after this realization gives an entirely new meaning to the narration. The narration is, in a way, Bigg's eulogy for Phelps. Phelp's story isn't the heroic tale the player thought it was, but rather the tragedy of a man who was willing to lose everything to make the case. Bigg's statements about "the case that makes you and the case that breaks you" makes a lot more sense in hindsight given the context of the game's ending. | |

Final Fantasy X-2 has an interesting subversion that, for some players, is a little hard to place. Yuna narrates the plot in past-tense, as if recounting what has happened after it is already over. In the regular ending, no real reason is given for why she was narrating in the past tense, after the fact- it appears to just be a design choice. But if you do the right things during the plot, you get an extra cutscene at the end of the game where Tidus is once again summoned by the Fayth, as a sort of reward for Yuna's efforts. Yuna sees him, jumps into the sea, and runs to meet him. Turns out that she was narrating to him the entire game, recounting the things that happened since they were last together. Granted, she DOES say "you" in reference to someone the entire game, but it's still a surprise to realize that she's not talking to herself or Tidus despite his "death", and that he actually came back, and she is actually talking TO him. | |

The Adventure Zone: Balance starts each episode with a deep-voiced narrator (actually dungeonmaster Griffin using a voice filter), who makes vague quips more often than explaining the story. The narrator disappears during the "Stolen Century" arc, but returns for the final arc with a more somber tone. In episode 67, it's revealed to be the voice of the Voidfish, as the podcast is its message to the multiverse detailing the story of the protagonists and how to fight the Hunger. | |

"Maybe He'll Notice Her Now", by Mindy McCready and Richie McDonald: The story is about a woman who leaves her man behind, taking a painting off the wall and leaving a note for him in its place. This leads into the chorus "Maybe he'll notice her now / Maybe he'll open his eyes / Sometimes it takes somebody leaving / For a man to realize..." At the end, after he calls and apologizes, Mindy ends the final chorus with "I'm coming home / Maybe you'll notice me now". | |

In A Series of Unfortunate Events, Lemony Snicket at first appears to be a standard-issue third-person omniscient narrator, but over the course of the series (in particular, through paratexts like the dedications and "in the next volume..." teasers), he gradually reveals more and more information about how he himself is involved in the story. Not all the questions raised by his hints are answered in the series, but by the end it's pretty clear that he was the third sibling of Jacques and Kit Snicket, a member of the VFD before the schism (and almost certainly on the opposite side to the Baudelaires), and the lover of Mrs Baudelaire before she got married. Though, really, that just raises further questions... | |

The first episode of The Dragon Prince begins with a narrator explaining the history of this world and lead-up to the current conflict. There's no indication that this is an actual character until season two, when the same voice is given to Aaravos, who is actually present in one of the opening flashbacks and seems to be deeply involved in the show's lore. On a related note, his seems to be the pair of hands unfurling the map in the show's theme song. | |

In the spoken-word song "The Deck of Cards" by Wink Martindale, the narrator tells the tale of a soldier who faces punishment for apparently playing cards during the regiment's church service. The man proceeds to explain to the provost marshal why he had the cards: each card, from ace to king, reminds him of some aspect of The Bible ("When I see the King, it reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven, God Almighty") while the number of cards, suits, face-cards, etc. serve him as a calendar and almanac. The song ends with the narrator assuring the listener that the story is true, because "I was that soldier." | |

The narrator of the Malazan Book of the Fallen is ultimately revealed to be the Crippled God himself, who is presented as the big bad for most of the series, then hijacked by an ensemble of greater villains. This turns out to be a Justified Trope, as it's stated that he penned the series so that those who sacrificed their lives to free him from his chains would not be forgotten. The title of the series, naturally, relates to this. | |

In Hyouka, a version of this, turning on the cameraman rather than a narrator, is Oreki's deduction of how the student-made murder mystery film was supposed to end. As a way to resolve the film as shot on time and under budget, it was brilliant; too bad that wasn't what he was trying to do. | |

The finale of Digimon Adventure 02 shows that the entire season (and possibly the previous one) was Takeru writing his novels. This has apparently raised a few questions as to how he managed to get some of the details, so some fans just say the last episode was his book. (The info that he was writing the book however was given in the 25 years later epilogue.) | |

In Icewind Dale, the ending sequence reveals that the person narrating the story has always been the demon Belhifet, the Big Bad of the story, telling the tale of the people who defeated him... and hinting that his time of banishment is nearly up. And is he unhappy. To make it that much more surprising, the narrator and Belhifet are voiced by two different actors (David Ogden Stiers and John Kassir, respectively) Lampshaded in the Something Awful Icewind Dale 2 Let's Play in which the narrator is the druid character, originally a stoner who comes to understand that they are in a computer game as he approaches enlightenment, dying in the final battle and subsequently delivering the epilogue. |

A meta example with Aladdin, in which Genie was supposed to have been the narrator. Fans picked up on the obvious clues (e.g. both are voiced by the great Robin Williams and the narrator is the only human with four fingers on each hand, a trait shared with the Genie) and kept believing it for years until the creators confirmed in 2015 that yes, Genie and the peddler in the opening scene are indeed one and the same. | |

The Mega Evolution specials of Pokémon the Series: XY are all narrated by the same male voice. Only in the second episode do we find out it's actually a character... Big Bad Lysandre. Interestingly, he was already present twice in-universe in the first episode: he first speaks on Alain's Holo Caster without being shown nor named, and is later shown but silent. The second episode, in which he finally gets a credited speaking role, revealed him as both the narrator and as Alain's mysterious interlocutor. | |

Near the end, we suddenly reveal that everything seen so far has actually been a Christmas story that Cartman is reading to the class. This makes the whole thing funnier.

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water has one, possibly two of these. A sixteen-year-old Marie is revealed to be the narrator of the entire series at the very end of the last episode. The English-language trailers imply another narrator in their voiceover: An elderly-sounding woman who is addressed as "Grandma" by a child offers to tell the story, and might possibly be Nadia herself.note The point is moot however, since it contradicts the show's aforementioned, actual ending. | |

Near the end of the second volume of the manga, and at the end of the Animated Adaptation, it's revealed that the narrator is Yuko's father, who has been sealed into the box of oranges that her family has been using as a table for ten years, and he has been watching over her the entire time. As Yuko gets closer to her Friendly Enemy the local Magical Girl Momo, and her sealed ancestor Lilith, the narrator extends his encouragements to them, too. | |

The first couple of episodes of Durarara!! are narrated by an unidentified female voice. Only at the end of the second do we learn that it was the Headless Rider, whose gender had been somewhat unclear to the audience, all along. Being headless, she never actually talks in-universe, rather she communicates by typing things out on her phone which is accompanied with a voice over. |

World in Conflict is narrated by Lt. Parker, whose identity is carefully maintained ambiguous e.g. by always obscuring his face. It is not until the final mission briefing that we get indication that the narrator is indeed him (Webb addresses the narrator as Parker). Similarly, the Soviet Assault is probably narrated by Romanov. | |

The last lines of The Last Guardian reveal that the narrator of the entire series is Holly, telling the stories to an amnesiac Artemis to help jog his memory. Though it's possible that she's just reciting from Argon's case file, as that was the Framing Device for the first book. |

In Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, it turns out fairly early on that the narrator is Areelu Vorlesh, the Architect of the Worldwound. The context of their narration varies, depending on the player's choices. | |

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors uses dialogue boxes on the top screen and third-person narration on the bottom screen for most of the game. But near the end of the True Ending, the narration will suddenly start using first-person. Turns out that what you see on the bottom screen is actually Akane nine years ago, experiencing everything through Junpei's eyes using the morphogenic field. In later ports of the game (which don't have a second screen), this is mimicked by having a button switch between the "screens", which are labelled "Adventure Screen" and "Novel Screen" until The Reveal, after which they change to "Junpei Vision" and "Akane Vision". | |

In YuYu Hakusho it is discovered in the last episodes, although hinted at shortly before, that Koenma's ogre assistant George was the narrator of the show- quite literally, since it is revealed that the show itself is the records of the protagonists' adventures that Koenma kept (hence the title, which, while using the original Japanese name, is nonetheless translated by Funimation as "Ghost Files"). | |

MediEvil: Fate's Arrow: The framing story features a man in bandages and sunglasses talking to Professor Darrow, an archaeologist in present day Cambridge who has devoted her life to studying Sir Daniel Fortesque and detailing his ultimate fate after the events of MediEvil 2. At the end of the story, Darrow finds the man's tales incredible and asks him how he could possibly know what he knows; he replies, "Because I was there", and reveals himself to be none other than Dan. | |

The Nightmare Before Christmas was originally supposed to end with a closing narration that would have revealed Santa was the narrator in the first scene and he still visits Jack and Sally's family long after the events of the film. It's still included on the film's soundtrack. | |
