A person who, for a multitude of possible reasons, is hidden from the rest of society. Perhaps they're born into a world with a strict limit on family size, and their birth exceeded that limit. Maybe the government considers their very existence dangerous, or maybe they're trying to protect this person from everybody else. Maybe this person is just a victim, being ostracized from everyone, or they are willingly kept hidden through their own free will. They may be born into it, or forced into the situation later in life. Whatever the reason, people don't know this character exists, and other characters want to keep it that way. Sometimes the character is the protagonist, and the story will either detail their escape from exile or alternatively their attempts to stay safe and hidden. If it's not the protagonist, it'll be someone they meet on their journey, often who they need to set free. In some cases, this character may actually be the villain, kept hidden to keep others safe. Often the result of someone being un-personed, where someone is removed from public, government, and/or historical records (occasionally by their own hand), especially in long-term cases. Contrast Secret Identity, where the person has one or more public identities and the secret is that they're all one person, and The Spook, an Un-person who still moves about in the larger world in secret, as opposed to being kept secluded. Anyone imprisoned (or even just stationed or employed) in a top-secret Black Site will tend to become this after enough time has passed. The Masquerade may hide members in this way, to protect their secrets. This can have a few results for the character in hiding, depending on the circumstances. Some may develop a "public" identity for the purposes of interacting with the outside world, while others may go through Sanity Slippage or desperately try to find a way to meet other people regardless. Others, especially those doing this willingly, will be content. Supertrope to Batman in My Basement, Madwoman in the Attic, Witness Protection, and Hidden Backup Prince. Compare The Hermit. Don't confuse with Anti-Interference Lock Up, where a character is merely restrained in some way, not completely hidden. As this trope often deals with a Reveal, there will be Unmarked Spoilers Ahead. |

Chzo Mythos: Roderick DeFoe left his mentally handicapped son John in a secret cellar behind the kitchen, often beating and neglecting him out of hatred for him "killing" his mother during birth. Not even his other son and John's twin brother, Matthew, knew about this for much of his life. When Matthew did find out, Roderick tried to convince him that there never was a boy behind the kitchen. | |

Yasu from Umineko: When They Cry is kept secret by different groups for different reasons. Natsuhi and Kinzo keep Yasu secret because Yasu is Kinzo's bastard child, and Natsuhi threw Yasu off a cliff. Genji and Kumasawa, on the other hand, keep Yasu's existence secret partially at Kinzo's wishes, but they keep secret even from him and Natsuhi that Yasu survived the cliff fall because they think that Kinzo might eventually fall in love with Yasu, as he did Yasu's mother, Beatrice Ushiromiya. | |

The Thomas & Friends special Blue Mountain Mystery revolves around the Narrow Gauge engines keeping a lost engine, Luke, secret from the Thin Controller (due to supposedly killing another engine via an accident said engine was found and repaired as Victor, who resolved everything when he found out). How this is managed isn't quite elaborated upon, since the engines (including Luke himself) are pretty much completely reliant on workmen to function. | |

In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Judge Frollo actively tries to keep Quasimodo hidden from the rest of the public and makes him stay in the tower by convincing him that the world is a cruel place and he is safer in the bell tower. Of course, this only works up until the Feast of Fools, and stories are still told about Quasimodo, making him legendary despite the fact only Frollo and the Archdeacon really knew he existed. | |

Because the Ark on The 100 enforced a strict one-child policy, with violations resulting in execution, Bellamy and his mother kept his illegal little sister Octavia hidden under the floor the entire time she was growing up. When she was found out, she was thrown into lockup, her brother was demoted to a janitor, and their mother was Thrown Out the Airlock. In later seasons we also meet Madi, Jordan, and Hope, also all hidden as children for one plot reason or another. Hope being hidden by Octavia, the original hidden child of the series who is now an adult, also makes for a nice full-circle moment. |

In A Brother's Price, Jerin's grandfather Alannon was kept secret by the grandmothers ... he was a prince, although not a Hidden Backup Prince (he was not heir to the throne), and their kidnapping him from a palace under siege was not entirely legal. They were determined to keep him, even though the royal family (the one that had wiped out his branch of the family) searched for him for a long time. | |

Dungeons & Dragons, Forgotten Realms setting. When Prince Haedrak Rhindaun of Tethyr was born, his existence was kept secret. When he was only six months old, his name was changed to "Lhaeo" and he was sent to the mage Elminster for safekeeping. Twelve years later, the populace of Tethyr rose in rebellion and killed the entire rest of the royal family, leaving Prince Rhindaun as its last member. He stayed in Elminster's care until he was 33 years old, when he was convinced to begin his attempt to regain the crown of Tethyr. | |

One Piece: Portgas D. Ace's mother Rouge held him for twenty months in her womb just to make sure the public won't know he's the son of her lover, Pirate King Gold Roger. Because of the stigma that a pirate's son will Turn Out Like His Father let alone him being the son of Roger and that the Marines, after Roger's death, started a witch-hunt of every woman ever affiliated with him, searching for the possibility of an offspring. This costs her her life. As a favor of Roger himself to his rival, Vice Admiral Garp, the latter also tried to keep Ace hidden and was there when Rouge gave birth to him. Then he brought Ace to his hometown in East Blue and got Curly Dadan to raise him (along with the young Luffy) with the intention of making them Marine officers. Ace himself also tends to go by his mother's maiden surname rather than his dad's. As far as those who live in the territories of the World Government know, the Five Elders are the highest authority in the world. But the Reverie Arc revealed the existence of someone who the Five Elders answer to, Imu. Imu's existence is kept secret to maintain the lie that there is no singular ruler of the world. |

In AdventureQuest Worlds, Sepulchure, the Doom Knight and overlord of evil, kept his daughter Gravelyn secret for years, with her existence only becoming common knowledge after his death and her ascension to the throne of the Shadowscythe Empire. The reason for all this secrecy isn't known until the second part of the Doomwood saga where it's revealed that she is the Champion of Light, the only thing keeping the Realm of Darkness from destroying the world, and the reason that Sepulchure didn't kill her was out of love for both her and her mother Lynaria. | |

In Crusader Kings II, characters can go (or be sent) into hiding if there is reasonable evidence for a plot on their lives. This option is available to both the player and the AI; while active, assassination plots cannot trigger. However, going into hiding is not without its drawbacks. Characters will take prestige hits while hidden, and those who are in hiding for an extended period of time may become stressed, depressed, or even go insane. | |
