This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A villain, usually a henchman, turns out to have been working for the goodies all along. As such, this is The Mole for the good guys. To avoid becoming the Deus ex Machina, there must be Foreshadowing and he may have had to do something horrible to get the villains' trust; good guy or not, he may never be able to go back. Related tropes include Fake Defector — wherein a hero pretends to undergo a Face–Heel Turn — and The Infiltration, wherein a hero disguises themselves as a completely different person who joins the bad guys. A subtrope is the Stealth Mentor, who reveals that they have been opposing the hero all along as a way of forcing the hero to become stronger. Compare Heel–Face Turn and Mook–Face Turn. If the villain forces the goodie to join him, it may be a Sadistic Choice or I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure. Contrast Heel–Face Mole, where a villain with a known history of being evil fakes being good to infiltrate the hero's side. An Undercover Cop Reveal is frequently this. Also contrast Good All Along, which involves characters that seem evil but doesn't have relation to the Big Bad. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) Examples: |

Harry Potter: Snape is revealed to be a Reverse Mole TWICE. When Voldemort made it clear that he would kill Lily Potter, Snape went to Dumbledore and became a Mole for the Order of the Phoenix in the Death Eaters. When he killed Dumbledore, while he made it so that it looked like he was doing it for Voldemort, in fact he was performing a Mercy Kill on Dumbledore's orders. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Kingsley Shacklebolt and Arthur Weasley are both members of the Order of the Phoenix and workers at the Ministry of Magic which is doing everything in its power to get in Dumbledore's way while refusing to acknowledge that Voldemort is back. |

Lucy Stillman in Assassin's Creed I is an employee of Abstergo Industries, an organization run by the Templars It's revealed at the end of the first game that she's actually an Assassin who was protecting Desmond the whole time, and helps him escape Abstergo at the beginning of the second game. The third game in the series, Brotherhood, drops some hints that she may actually be a double agent working for the Templars after all. The DLC pack for Revelations, "The Lost Archives", gives more background confirming that Lucy had done a Face–Heel Turn from undercover agent pretending to work for the Templars while secretly working for the Assassins, to Double Agent helping Desmond escape and feeding info back to the Templars, as a result of feeling like she had been abandoned by the Assassins She was the mole feeding the info that resulted in many of the Assassin teams being compromised mentioned in e-mails in Brotherhood. This is why Juno forced Desmond to stab her at the end of Brotherhood. | |

Knights of the Old Republic: While you could act like a typical Sith student in the academy on Korriban, for light-siders, it's often much more satisfying to quietly sabotage the Sith's every action from the inside out (for example, knocking out the Mandalorian prisoner at his request instead of torturing him, letting the rebellious students escape, calming a self-destructive droid instead of scrapping it, etc.), and still get the prestige that you would've gotten if you had actually been evil. Alternatively, the ultimate in "destroy from within" consists of befriending Assistant Headmistress Yuthura and letting her walk back to the Light Side. After taking out Uthar, the rest of the academy destroys itself infighting upon discovering there's no one in charge. |

Joseph Lawrence is a Commander, though he too gets revealed to be working with them. The first sign he's a good guy is his refusal to rape Emily as part of the Ceremony. However, he still acts harshly to June (especially while his fellow Commanders are there), though it may be an example of Good Is Not Nice or so they won't get suspicious. | |

Words of Radiance (second book of The Stormlight Archive): Shallan uses her illusion powers to infiltrate the Ghostbloods, who had killed her mentor Jasnah, as far as she knew. When they find out, they see nothing wrong with it. "Let Shallan Davar be a Radiant, conformist and noble. Let Veil come to us. And let her find truth." This is all complicated significantly by the fact that the Ghostbloods members include several worldhoppers, and it is totally unclear what their actual goal is on Roshar. Shalan assumes they're bad guys, but everything they ask her to do is directly in-line with what she is trying to accomplish anyways. |

In the episode "Into the Fire", a Reverse Mole is the only reason Colonel O'Neill of Stargate SG-1 doesn't have a snake in his head. Indeed, most Gou'ald System Lords have a few Reverse Moles in their fleet, either one of the Tok'ra or Jaffa who believe the truth about their "gods" — namely, that they are, in fact, Always Chaotic Evil snake-like parasites inside human bodies. |

After spending the better part of 2013 getting screwed over by The Authority, Daniel Bryan publicly gave up fighting a machine he could not beat on his own and joined The Wyatt Family for supposed help on the last show of that year. He actually did this to get closer to Bray Wyatt, who had been giving him almost as much trouble as the Authority, taking revenge earlier than planned, in January 2014 after the Wyatts tried to pull a You Have Failed Me on him. | |

After the Zodiac (Brutus Beefcake) left the Dungeon of Doom in February 1996, he was repackaged as The Booty Man (sort of like Billy Gunn's "Mr. Ass" gimmick), now a Face and a Friend of Hogan. Hulk explained that he had sent him into the Dungeon as a "mole." However, it actually DOES make sense when you consider the finish of the War Games match between the Hulkamaniacs (Hogan/Savage/Sting/Luger) and the Dungeon of Doom (Kamala/Shark/Zodiac/Meng) at WCW Fall Brawl 95, September 17, 1995. The Hulkamaniacs won when Hogan forced Zodiac to submit. Hulk had to have Zodiac be the one to submit, since he was the weakest guy on the team, (also because Kamala didn't speak, Meng was/is a legitimate badass Monster and the Shark was too big) and because it would have looked suspicious if Hulk had fought with the other three guys but left Zodiac alone. The two might have planned for Hogan to not actually apply any pressure when he locked on the submission (so as not to hurt his friend any more than he had to), but for Zodiac to submit anyway (to give his friend Hogan the win against the DOD team). Kind of like a less stupid version of the Fingerpoke Of Doom. | |

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Black Spiral Dancers think that they can woo Gaia Garou into the Wyrm's embrace. They fail to understand that some Gaia Garou pretend to draw close to the Wyrm so as to undermine the Wyrm's forces. Among the Shadow Lords, members of the Bringers of Light camp infiltrate Wyrm strongholds (at great personal risk) so as to subvert them from within. Among the Stargazers, members of the Oroborean camp seek to free the Wyrm of Balance by learning as much as they can about Wyrm lore, sometimes with Black Spiral Dancer hives. They later "cleanse" and "liberate" Wyrm minions by torturing and killing them. A handful of Uktena have pretended to join the Black Spiral Dancers in order to gain information or undermine the Wyrm. Anhai joined the Black Spiral Dancers, only to lead them away from where a new Uktena caern was being created. White-Eye-ikthya may be a deep cover Uktena agent within the Trinity Hive. |

He's willing to take that risk given that it will take time to assimilate the Balmarians' tech: he needs mankind to sit still until then. Nanai is willing to go along with this so long as Char loves her and helps keep construction of the Angel Halo on schedule. | |

Teen Titans played with this trope in the first season finale. Slade reveals his season-long Evil Plan to Robin: Slade had lured Robin away from the rest of the Titans, leaving them to deactivate his "Chronoton Detonator" which was actually a device that injected them with deadly nanites, allowing Slade to kill them with the push of a button. After this reveal, Slade made Robin his new apprentice, thus making Robin somewhat of a Fake Defector, albeit with the villain commandeering the operation specifically designed to make the unwilling defector comply and prevent him from informing his comrades because then, they would most assuredly die, thereby making the goodies, not the bad guys, the ones to be deceived by the hero's false defection. Following the establishment of his apprenticeship under Slade via a little crime spree and a show-down with his ex-teammates Robin's friends fully believe that he has been lost to The Dark Side, for good. This makes the discovery that Robin was really on their side the entire time all the more surprising, from their P.O.V | |

Warhammer 40,000: In a Zig-Zagged version, just before the Horus Heresy, an alien coalition group convinced the Alpha Legion to become this. In order to effectively pull it off, however, they would need to pull do a sincere (or at least a ostensible) full-on Heel–Face Turn. Considering their reputation and MO relies on absolute secrecy and different units' ability to act independently, down to individual soldiers, their motives into the present are largely a mystery. The question of whether the entire Legion, or individual cells and warbands have fallen to Chaos or have remained closet loyalists is a large part of their mystique. | |

Doctor Who: In "Attack of the Cybermen", one of the gang is actually a police officer. And it turns out that Lytton was using the Cybermen to get to his real employers and help them against the Cybermen. "The Long Game": It turns out that Suki MacRae Cantrell, one of the reporters that the Doctor, Rose and Adam meet on Floor 139, is actually Eva St. Julien, last surviving member of the Freedom Fifteen, who infiltrated Satellite 5 to try and bring an end to the Epiphanic Prison it was keeping humanity in. "Rise of the Cybermen"/"The Age of Steel": The Alternate Universe version of Pete Tyler appears to be The Quisling as a high-ranking executive working for John Lumic… but he's actually Gemini, the informant feeding the Preachers information. However, he thought he was assisting someone more impressive than "Scooby-Doo and his gang". "Planet of the Ood": Dr. Ryder eventually reveals himself as a member of Friends of the Ood who spent ten years infiltrating Ood Operations to try and free the enslaved species. In "Journey's End", it turns out Dalek Caan is one. When he last escaped the Doctor with his time jump, he accidentally saw all of time and realized just how wrong and evil his own kind are. So, he set it upon himself to destroy them, leading the Daleks to a point where the Doctor could destroy them for good. |

Star Wars Rebels: In "Breaking Ranks", Ezra, while undercover as an Imperial cadet, befriends a fellow cadet, Zare Leonis, who's joined the Imperial academy to search for his sister, an Imperial cadet who mysteriously vanished. He chooses to stay behind at the end of the episode, but agrees to give the Ghost crew intel. In season 3, Agent Kallus has become disenchanted with the Galactic Empire, but instead of defecting to the Rebellion he becomes a spy who reports under the code name Fulcrum. Conveniently, as a high-ranking member of the Imperial Security Bureau, he is the one responsible for rooting out spies and traitors in this particular sector of the Empire, and thus in a good position to ensure that spies and traitors don't actually get found while framing other Imperial officers for his own actions (or would've been if not for Grand Admiral Thrawn arriving in the sector). |

In XCOM 2, the members of the Council of Nations from XCOM: Enemy Unknown have all pledged their loyalty to the alien-backed regime that now rules Earth, with one exception - the former Spokesman for the Council. Now known as the Informant, he uses his high-level connections to the ADVENT Coalition to give you tip-offs about Resistance figures who need rescue or evacuation, or alien collaborators to capture or eliminate. He's also the one to tip you off to the aliens' "Avatar Project" at the start of the campaign and warns you when the aliens' plans are accelerating at the end of it. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door has one in the form of Chad Dickson (a.k.a. Numbuh 274.) Starting in the Season 2 finale when Chad has his Face–Heel Turn moment by trying to hurl the KND Moon Base into the sun and thus becoming a villain for the rest of the series until the second-to-last episode which reveals that he was a double agent the whole time and that all off his attempts were actually him preventing other villains from doing the same to the KND and being successful. | |

In Warrior Cats, Ivypool becomes one of these after she learns that the Dark Forest, a place where she is training, is plotting to destroy the clans. She stays with the Dark Forest so that she can give their information to Jayfeather, Lionblaze and Dovewing. Not only Ivypool, but Tigerheart was also a spy against the Dark Forest all along. |

Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic: While you could act like a typical Sith student in the academy on Korriban, for light-siders, it's often much more satisfying to quietly sabotage the Sith's every action from the inside out (for example, knocking out the Mandalorian prisoner at his request instead of torturing him, letting the rebellious students escape, calming a self-destructive droid instead of scrapping it, etc.), and still get the prestige that you would've gotten if you had actually been evil. Alternatively, the ultimate in "destroy from within" consists of befriending Assistant Headmistress Yuthura and letting her walk back to the Light Side. After taking out Uthar, the rest of the academy destroys itself infighting upon discovering there's no one in charge. In the Imperial Agent story of Star Wars: The Old Republic you spend the second act acting as a Republic Intelligence (called the SIS) mole inside Imperial Intelligence as part of an Imperial Intelligence plot to take down a particular team of SIS agents. And then things get complicated... |

In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Golbez turns out to be working for Cosmos, and serves as a Stealth Mentor to a few of the heroes. Kuja was also one of these with a similar role in the prequel, but Kefka found out and loaded him up with malicious Fake Memories to get him to knock it off for the events of the original. | |

Flash Forward executes a perfect Reverse Mole when Janis is first revealed to be a mole, then revealed to be working for the CIA. Technically, she is still a Mole as she is supposed to be working for the FBI. This is also an example of Lampshade Hanging, as the character's name recalls the guardian Roman god with two faces, Janis (also known as Janus). | |

A very interesting and "this movie has an insane number of twists" version in House of Flying Daggers. Jin pretends to go to the good side before going for an actual Heel–Face Turn, but everybody thinks that he's still working for the government. Then we find that Leo, who set up Jin's finding out where the Flying Daggers were, is actually one of the Flying Daggers and was a mole. | |
