The Nameless may come from many reasons, always with authorial intent. This trope is only in effect when the nom de guerre of a character reflects their lack of a name. This may or may not be something the character is aware of. The author is trying to make the character more mysterious by hiding parts of the character from the audience, creating the illusion that there is much more about the character that cannot be known. A name is used to grant characters an identity, but their lack of name makes it hard to identify the character. "Nemo" is a commonly used variant, as it's Latin for "no one", but also sounds more like an actual name. Sillier examples tends to exploit this ambiguity for a Who's on First? situation. For similar tropes, please refer to the supertrope, The Nameless. Closely related is Withholding Their Name (when the character refuses to share their name, sometimes offering "Nobody" as an option). Compare My Hero, Zero. Not to be confused with No Name Given. "Untitled" Title is essentially the same concept as applied to titles instead of characters. Examples |

In The Smurfs, there's a Smurf character named "Nobody" who got his name from his low self-esteem and has a whole episode dedicated to him (aptly named "Nobody Smurf"). This trait, however, proves crucial in defeating the episode's villain (because he's literally named "Nobody", said villain is unable to curse him based on his name as he did with the other Smurfs), at which point he ends up being renamed to "Somebody Smurf" after defeating the villain and gaining confidence in himself. | |

In Hellblazer, the Beast was a denizen of Eden who refused to be named by Adam. It hated the idea of being defined, and thus limited, by man. As a result, the Beast became a powerful spirit who lacked a body to call its own who is dedicated to wiping out humanity. | |

Enlightenments interprets "Wander" this way. It isn't a name so much as what the locals call a nameless person, and what the nameless man in question gives as a nickname in a sequel short to the fic when someone protests that they can't just call him "hey you" all the time. | |

Forgotten Worlds: Both player characters are only known as the "Nameless Ones". This is kept in their cameo appearances, usually going by the moniker of "Unknown Soldier" followed by 1P/2P to identify between them. The Japanese sources have slight variations at times, like "Nameless Super Soldier". The Mega Drive Japanese manual also refers to the 2P soldier as "Mohawk Man". | |

Given its popularity with pieces involving wandering samurai, this trope shows up in Way of the Samurai, where 'Nameless' is the default name given to the player's ronin character. You can always choose to change it, but seeing as how the player is apparently some kind of amnesiac swordsman, it fits. | |

In Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, there are two characters called "The Nameless Slave". Due to I Know Your True Name magics, this makes things rather confusing when spells meant to address the latter Nameless Slave accidentally affect the former Nameless Slave. Neither enslaved man was given a name by their mother at birth, so the magics consider any other name to be false. | |

The King of Fighters has a character literally named Nameless, presumed the last clone made by NESTS, and thus didn't have enough time to develop a legitimate name. | |

Wolverine gets an arc in Marvel Comics Presents where he meets a daughter named Reine du Rien, French for Queen of Nothing. She was deliberately conceived by her family with Wolverine to combine his mutant abilities, particularly his longevity, with their sorcerous heritage for an indefinite solution to a demon of apocalyptic power that periodically returned to Earth. | |

Pony POV Series: The being most characters know as "Makarov" or the "Shadow of Chernobull" is actually a nameless entity, and uses the names of his assimilated victims. Most characters who learn his true nature then start referring to him as "Nameless". The criminal who murdered Cupid is now known as the Nameless Filly, after Venus asked Pandora to erase her name from existence. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The Faceless Men are so called because of their Voluntary Shapeshifting abilities and they gave up their original names when joining. There's no way to identify any of them individually, so the characters have only been identified by ''ad hoc'' titles from Arya's POV. The High Septon officially gives up his name on assuming the post and is known only by his title. This is lampshaded as making it difficult to distinguish historical High Septons, especially in a tumultuous time like that of the story, which has seen three people come and go from the position — "the fat one," "the one after the fat one," and "the High Sparrow". |

In Pathfinder, one of the sahkil tormentors is known as Nameless, Upon an Empty Throne. Its worshippers often use its title rather than its lack of name to refer to it. While most sahkil take on terrifying forms to feed on fear, Nameless also doesn't manifest tangibly and is detectible only as a lingering thought, misheard sound, or sense of movement in the corner of the eye. As its favored prey is those who seek power, it's presumably invoking Nothing Is Scarier against rulers who might feel too protected to be impressed by more conventional horrors. | |

In addition, throughout the story "nobody" is used to refer to Nol. |

The head of the agency featured in Furious 7 is known only as Mr. Nobody in the film. note He has a canonical name, but it's not used in the film. This only adds to the mystery surrounding him. The follow-up, The Fate of the Furious, introduces a new member of the agency he refers to as Mr. Little Nobody.

Kingdom Hearts: The Nobodies, most of which are Faceless Mooks whose name means they have no heart (in contrast to the Heartless, who are the darkness of the heart with no body). But when a person with a strong heart becomes a Heartless, they may leave behind a strong Nobody as well. These form Organization XIII, and face the existential crisis of not knowing if they are real people or not, because they have no feelings. Their personal names usually involve Xtreme Kool Letterz (generally speaking, a Nobody's given name is an anagram of their original's name with an X added), but they still identify as Nobodies, and seek Kingdom Hearts to become real. There are two Keyblades with the name "No Name" in the series: one is used by Xehanort, and the other is awarded to players who beat the "Unknown" in Birth by Sleep. In the former's case, it was never given a name, so when the Master of Masters told Luxu it had "no name", Luxu promptly called it that, much to the Master's exasperation. |
