There are, supposedly, two characters. Maybe one is never seen, or is only mentioned in passing, or whose face is never seen, or it's a book and the author ain't much for descriptions. These two never meet, are never in the same scene, and/or never interact with the same characters. Eventually it's revealed that they're actually the same person. Note that, contrary to what the trope name suggests, they do not actually need two aliases (i.e. pseudonyms) for this trope to apply — but either the characters in-universe or the reader/viewer (or both) need to believe them to be separate people, until The Reveal.
This trope also applies to Multiple Personalities, so long as characters/audience are unaware that they physically share the same body. It is possible to use this as Character Development if the character assume(s/d) a new alias unbeknownst to other characters, especially if the previous alias and persona are considered dead or status unknown. It is also used to reveal that a character is Evil All Along, especially if one of the aliases is a Hidden Villain.
This is often a source of Wild Mass Guessing, with fans trying to argue that two different characters are really the same person, usually with no given reason why this person would have another identity.
Usually involves Secret Identity, though sometimes it's only a surprise to the audience that the characters are the same. Compare Invented Individual, where someone makes up a new identity without pretending to be them (though less personal examples can blur the line between the two); Canon Character All Along, where a new character is revealed to be an already existing character; and Future Self Reveal, where two characters are revealed to be the same person from different points in time. Contrast Collective Identity, which is Two Characters, One Alias.

Kamen Rider Fourze: The series' Big Bad, initially just called "The Red-Eyed Man", turns out to be Amanogawa High School's chairman Mitsuaki Gamou, former astronaut and implied by a Flashback at the start of the series to be the killer of Kengo Utahoshi's father. One of his Dragons is the incredibly powerful and ruthless Virgo Zodiarts, whose main job is making Gamou's enemies disappear...permanently. Kamen Rider Meteor has his supervisor Tachibana, who tracks Zodiarts from the satellite M-BUS that gives Ryusei the power to transform into Meteor. Later on we meet Dr. Kuniteru Emoto, a friend of Dr. Utahoshi's who is nervous and clumsy but very smart and willing to help Kengo. The big reveal: Emoto is Virgo, Tachibana, and Dr. Utahoshi's killer. They were friends once, but he grew jealous and betrayed his friend — and he's capable of generating the "red eyes" like Gamou. Over time he began to feel remorse for his actions and tried to redeem himself by helping the Kamen Riders as Tachibana in the hopes of stopping Gamou.

In The Three Hostages, the hero has several encounters with mysterious "sad, grey-faced" man who forms part of the villain's entourage, but doesn't learn his name until near the end, at which point he turns out to be a person who has been mentioned several times in another context.

The Witchlands:
Safi has a beef on Caden, aka the Chiseled Cheater, who "stole" all her money in a card game. Aeduan meets the commander of Prince Leopold's Hell-Bard bodyguards, a man named Fitz Grieg. It's eventually revealed that the two are one and the same: Hell-Bard Commander Caden Fitz Grieg.
In Sightwitch, Eridysi finds out that the soldier she's fallen in love with and the Rook King's general she's been wanting to meet for some time are the same person. She calls him out on this, but he replies that he didn't lie to her: he is a soldier, just a really high-ranking one.
Bloodwitch reveals that the Ragnor, the Raider King of Arithuania, is really the Rook King's General.

In Tokyo Ghoul, this serves as The Reveal of the series finale. The Aogiri Tree executive Eto Yoshimura (real name), horror novelist Sen Takatsuki, and the mysterious One-Eyed Owl are the same person.
The Big Bad of :re goes by three aliases, much like Eto. He is Kichimura Wasshu, Bastard Bastard son of Tsuneyoshi Wasshu; Nimura Furuta, mild-mannered assistant to Shiki Kijima; and Souta, member of the Pierrot Clown gang.

Destiny: You’re informed fairly early that Dredgen Yor was an evil Guardian and that his true identity was concealed from the public. You don’t learn until much later that his true identity is one of the other Posthumous Characters you hear a lot about; Rezyl Azzir, the much-beloved Greater-Scope Paragon. The Vanguard covered up the fact that he became Dredgen out of fear of what it would do to morale.

Kamen Rider Wizard: From the start of the series we have the "White Wizard", the enigmatic Rider-like mentor who appeared to Haruto after he survived the Sabbat, giving him the Transformation Trinket and training he needed to become Wizard. Partway through the series, a mysterious man shows up at the antiques shop and commissions "Pops" Wajima to craft him a magic ring; Haruto's contacts in the government identify the man as Sou Fueki, a physicist and college professor. While Fueki being the White Wizard is obvious enough, the real reveal is that he's also Wiseman, the Big Bad who's been commanding the Phantoms, and is really playing both sides to achieve his ultimate goal, resurrecting his deceased daughter. Post-series it was revealed that the White Wizard's official name is "Kamen Rider Wiseman", which was kept hidden for obvious reasons.

At the climax of the book, it's revealed that Mitt, introduced in book 2, Drowned Ammet, becomes Amil, taking it as his regnal name.
It's hinted at in the fact that both Mitt and Amil are shortened variants of Alhammitt.

Cleverly used in the Terok Nor book Dawn of the Eagles, in which a single character is secretly both a member of the Orallian religious underground and a Central Command officer. Both roles use his real name, with the twist that the narration for one role is on a First-Name Basis, and the other on Last-Name Basis. Thus, The Reveal is as simple as him saying his full name, Thrax Sa'kat.

Fire Emblem:
Parodied with Devdan and Danved in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Despite doing absolutely nothing to chance his appearance, Danved still claims he's not Devdan. Played straight with The Black Knight and General Zelgius, and Sephiran and Lehran.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses:
The true name of "the goddess" worshiped by the Church of Seiros isn't revealed until a few months into the game: it's Sothis, as in the young-looking girl whose spirit is bound to the protagonist's.
Saint Seiros and the Four Saints Macuil, Indech, Cichol and Cethleann were the legendary heroes who defeated Nemesis a thousand years ago. They are still around as Rhea, Lord of the Desert, Lord of the Lake, Seteth and Flayn, respectively.

The James Bond film series has several such instances:
Mr. Big, the Harlem drug lord who's planning on trafficking free heroin in Live and Let Die, turns out to be Dr. Kananga, the strongman ruler of the fictional Caribbean country of San Monique.
GoldenEye: The eponymous and rarely-seen head of the Janus crime syndicate is revealed to be Big Bad Friend Alec Trevelyan, formerly 006 and believed to be KIA when he and Bond were sabotaging a chemical weapons facility in Arkangelsk nine years prior, when Bond meets him in St. Petersburg.
Die Another Day: Gustav Graves, the young head of a new multinational corporation that managed to corner the world diamond market is revealed to be Colonel Tan-Sun Moon, formerly of the Korean People's Army who was presumed dead by MI6 after Bond's mission in the Korean DMZ in the Action Prologue seemingly killed him — turns out he escaped death unbeknownst to both Western intelligence as well as his own father General Moon. It's unexpected since Gustav Graves, played by Toby Stephens, is visibly Caucasian while Colonel Moon, played by Will Yun Lee, is visibly Asian — this is explained in-universe by a radical new gene-therapy technology that could change the looks of a persom better than plastic surgery, which Moon took advantage of in Cuba while laying low during the years Bond spent as a POW in North Korea.
The Big Bad in the Daniel Craig-era Bond films is revealed to be Franz Oberhauser in Spectre, the son-by-blood of Bond's foster father. He took on the name Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the name of the Big Bad who appeared in the Sean Connery and Roger Moore films prior to the reboot, as Oberhauser rejected his birth name after seeing his father favor James over him when they were children, eventually murdering their father and taking on his mother's maiden name.

In Umineko: When They Cry, it's heavily implied and later confirmed in the manga that Beatrice, Shannon and Kanon are all the same person; their true identity is Sayo Yasuda, who originally created them as "characters" that they pretend to be in order to cope with their low self-esteem and gender issues. However, in a twist on this trope, while these three characters are often shown interacting with one another to the viewer, the catch is that no one In-Universe ever sees them together outside of fantasy scenes (which are narrated by Beatrice, so you can't trust them). The conversations between these characters are meant to represent Sayo's inner conflicts.

Zones of Thought: A justifiably partial example appears in The Children of the Sky. What's left of Steel is disguised as Screwfloss using fake dyed pelt-markings, but when one of his members is killed, he loses some cognitive capacity, which causes him to be lax in keeping the disguise maintained.

In The Phantom Menace, it's revealed that Queen Amidala and her handmaiden Padmé are actually one and the same, the Queen having swapped places with a lookalike handmaiden for her protection. The fact that Natalie Portman (Padmé) and Keira Knightley (decoy Sabé) look quite similar and that the Queen is always wearing rather elaborate make-up and clothing helps to keep up the charade; apparently, their own parents had difficulty telling them apart on set when they were in full costume.

Tales Series:
Tales of Symphonia:
Regal Bryant, who manages to fit this trope despite never using an alias. The convict in your party is only referred to as Regal, while the Lezareno executive is consistently referred to as President Bryant.
This is taken even further with Mithos, the half-elf child you meet and befriend after his home is attacked. Not only is he the same Mithos as Mithos the hero, but his last name is revealed to be Yggdrasill, the older-looking main villain of the game who you've already met and battled at the time.
In Tales of Vesperia, it is revealed that Raven, trusted member of your party and the guild Altosk, is actually Captain Schwann of the Imperial Knights.

In Wreck-It Ralph, King Candy, the ruler of the Sugar Rush arcade racing game, is revealed in the climax to be Turbo, the hero of an older generation racing game who was notorious among his fellow video game characters for hacking a newer game out of jealousy, which ended up breaking both in the process. It is revealed that he survived the event and did the same thing to Sugar Rush, only with a bit more subtlety.

Laing (his true identity) uses crutches he doesn't need when acting as himself, and when he meets Strike in the guise of Ray Williams, he uses a different accent and rubs something in his eyes to make himself cry, so he can hold a handkerchief to his face.

When They Cry:
Higurashi: When They Cry:
In a couple of arcs, Shion combines this with Twin Switch and Mind Screw. She imprisons her sister and becomes 'Mion' to the public eye, but continues to contact Keiichi as Shion.
Later on, it turns out that the local god and Big Bad Oyashiro-sama is the small and innocent Hanyuu Furude. The true Big Bad, the false Oyashiro, is later revealed at the end of that same arc to be local nurse Miyo Takano.
In Umineko: When They Cry, it's heavily implied and later confirmed in the manga that Beatrice, Shannon and Kanon are all the same person; their true identity is Sayo Yasuda, who originally created them as "characters" that they pretend to be in order to cope with their low self-esteem and gender issues.

A very minor example in universe occurs in The Newsroom, Both Will Macavoy and Charlie Skinner have sources that told them about war crime committed by the US government, while the story was pretty much a go at that point Will's source cinches the deal and galvanizes the crew. Since the story is told via flashback the audience is instantly aware that they share the same source, but none of the characters realize that till it's much too late.

Fullmetal Alchemist (manga and Brotherhood anime):
Pride, the most powerful of the Homunculi, turns out to have a public identity the Elric brothers are familiar with: Selim Bradley, the "son" of Fuhrer King Bradley/Wrath.
Subverted by Van Hohenheim and Father. Considering that they look exactly alike and that Hohenheim is secretive, morally ambiguous, and much longer-lived than any normal human, it's reasonable to assume that they're the same person. Turns out that Father is a Doppelgänger who took on Hohenheim's appearance due to some shared history and Applied Phlebotinum. Not only that, the two fill the roles of Big Good and Big Bad, respectively.

The second story arc in Beware the Batman features a bit character called Dane Lisslow, who later befriends Bruce Wayne. The rest of the arc later introduces Deathstroke and a Batman impostor. The impostor is later revealed to be Lisslow, who was forced to dress up as Batman by Deathstroke, who held his son hostage. Lisslow seemingly dies after the reveal. Come the next episode, it turns out Lisslow faked his death and his backstory. He IS Deathstroke. The same voice actor voicing another unrelated character further maintained the mystery until the reveal.

Also, the protagonist of the game, Booker DeWitt, and the Big Bad Father Comstock likewise turn out to be the same person from different timelines.

Final Fantasy XIV:
The Shadowhunter encountered in Patch 4.3 is a gunblade-wielding Garlean who claims to have history with the Scions and the Warrior of Light when he comes to Alphinaud's aid in the Burn. This is because he's Gaius van Baelsar, and he's out to kill every Ascian he can get his hands on as revenge for manipulating him and for the destruction at the Praetorium.
Solus zos Galvus, the first emperor of the Garlean Empire, dies relatively early in the plot to illness. However, it's later revealed that he is in fact Emet-Selch, the mysterious third Paragon of the Ascians, who used his death as Solus to plunge Garlemald into a bloody Civil War.
The Shadowkeeper is a mythical figure from Norvandt's past who once terrorized the land and did battle with its Warriors of Light. In the wake of the Flood of Light, the Shadowkeeper has almost been deified as an embodiment of darkness while the Warriors of Light are scorned for nearly ending the world. The Shadowkeeper is in fact Cylva, the barmaid at the Wandering Stairs, and once a Warrior of Light of the Thirteenth. She once journeyed alongside Ardbert's party and became the Shadowkeeper in a desperate attempt to save her world. But she later realized her folly and now hopes to preserve her friends' memory through the true story of their heroics.

The Usual Suspects features the hapless Verbal Kint interrogated by Agent Kujan, recounting how he and several other criminals, led by ex-cop Dean Keaton, were press-ganged into working for the illusive mastermind Keyser Soze. In The Summation, Kujan surmises that Keaton was in fact Soze all along, posing as a Jerk with a Heart of Gold to manipulate Kint and the other criminals, and then personally dispose of them. However, in the movie's Signature Scene a few minutes later, Kujan realizes too late that he had it backwards; Soze is actually Kint himself.

Kamen Rider Build does this legitimately with Blood Stalk, the mysterious and eccentric enemy commander who's present from the start of the series. Fairly early on it's revealed that he's actually Soichi Isurugi, the mysterious and eccentric coffee shop owner who's been helping Build from the very beginning. Later on, it's revealed that "Stalk" is actually an alien entity named Evolt that was possessing Isurugi and trying to reclaim his original power so he can destroy Earth.

Played strangely in Kamen Rider Ghost - the ghostly Sage who assists the heroes is obviously played by the same actor as the villains' Minister Edith, but they're so different in personality and goals that it's unclear whether this is at play or there's some other reason for their resemblance (further confused by implications that one or both characters can create Artificial Ghosts). Then the heroes start meeting with Edith, and he doesn't seem to recognise them or know who the Sage is. The truth is revealed anticlimactically when at one of their meetings, Edith forgets to change out of his Sage outfit.

We first found out that the chivalrous, likeable William and the older, seemingly sociopathic Man in Black are the same person separated by 30 years, all of William's scenes having actually been flashbacks.
Then we discover that our protagonist Dolores is in fact Wyatt, the sinister cult leading boogeyman-like figure oft mentioned throughout the season (specifically, Wyatt is a character who's code was merged with Dolores' decades earlier, and who she ends up channeling in full force once she achieves sentience).

In DuckTales (1987) episode "The Masked Mallard", there is the titular character of the episode gone rogue and a reporter named Lawrence Loudmouth bad mouthing him. It turns out he's the criminal.

Prelude to Foundation: Cleon I's Chief of Staff, Eto Demerzel, is hiding a secret identity; he's actually R. Daneel Olivaw, from Robots and Empire. Chetter Hummin is suspicious of him, and tries to help Hari Seldon avoid the man behind the throne, because Eto is hiding secrets and will want to use Seldon's work for selfish reasons. This works up until the climax, when Seldon encounters Eto Demerzel directly, and realizes that Chetter Hummin is a false identity used by Demerzel to control his actions all along. The identity (Chetter Hummin) is a pun — he's cheating at being human — because he's a robot.

Higurashi: When They Cry:
In a couple of arcs, Shion combines this with Twin Switch and Mind Screw. She imprisons her sister and becomes 'Mion' to the public eye, but continues to contact Keiichi as Shion.
Later on, it turns out that the local god and Big Bad Oyashiro-sama is the small and innocent Hanyuu Furude. The true Big Bad, the false Oyashiro, is later revealed at the end of that same arc to be local nurse Miyo Takano.

In Undertale, the killer referred to as "ASGORE" and the friendly King Dreemurr are the same person. The Reveal happens long before you meet him, however, and as none of the monsters are under any illusions as to the king's full name, it's only a Tomato Surprise.
A much bigger spoiler is Flowey being the "dead" prince, Asriel Dreemurr. This one is known to almost nobody and only ever gets revealed to you.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening reveals Arkham is Jester, but for their screentime in around the first half of the story, they are never present in the same scene, thus creating the impression that they are two different characters. Arkham is mostly seen accompanying Vergil, while Jester is mostly seen indirectly guiding Dante if the latter is stuck while exploring. Oftentimes however, Arkham has chances of separating ways with Vergil, justifying why he can still move somewhere as Jester. When The Reveal is made known to the other characters, Arkham constantly switches between his usual form and Jester.

In Warbreaker, it turns out that the infamous Kalad the Usurper, who nearly started a world war; and the revered Peacegiver, who ended it; were really the same person, who had become The Atoner, even though history thinks this was two different people. That person has many names, and is currently known as Vasher, and their "real" name (or at least the name they were given when they Returned) was Warbreaker the Peaceful.

Foreign Affairs (1984): Fred eventually figures out that his high-class actress girlfriend Rosemary, and Rosemary's foul-mouthed Cockney cleaning lady Mrs. Harris, are the same person. Rosemary, who 1) has long wanted to play working-class characters, but doesn't get offered such parts, and 2) is eventually revealed to be mentally unstable, has occasionally been masquerading as an otherwise non-existent cleaning lady for months.

In the second season of The Owl House, we learn about a 17th century human named Philip Wittebane, who was trapped on the Boiling Isles before Luz, and whose journal Luz uses to try to find a way home. In the episode "Elsewhere and Elsewhen", it's revealed that Philip would later become none other than Emperor Belos. Luz simply failed to recognize Belos as Philip because in the meantime, he had aged significantly, shaved off his beard, and gained a band of horrible rot across his face due to the amount of palisman essence he had to consume to keep himself alive for over 350 years.

Lenna's Inception: Beating each archangel boss gives Lenna a corrupted memory, a flashback that reveals some information about the backstory. A character who frequently appears in these is an archangel whose name is a glitchy mess. The final corrupted memory, called "Lenna's Inception", reveals that this archangel is Lenna, who was transformed into a human.

Ascendance of a Bookworm:
This is done with the archduke of Ehrenfest. He gets several mentions in the story that don't include his first name, only to properly debut via a King Incognito during which he goes by his real first name. On top of this, a character who debuts much earlier than the archduke of Ehrenfest turns out to be a member of his family, but always refers to him by title in public and, in one case, his own thoughts. There is also a chapter establishing that character's family situation that mentions the relative who's the archduke via the nature of their familial relationship all while not using any titles or names.
A young girl from a wealthy family is basically engaged to an adult noble and will become his mistress as soon as she reaches adult age. Later in the story, an Impoverished Patrician noble the protagonist met more or less by chance mentions that he had to acquire a large sum of money he needed by borrowing it from the family of his older brother's mistress. That scene might be a good time to remember that at that point, all the reader knows of the man to whom the aforementioned wealthy young girl is "engaged" is his name and the fact that he's part of the nobility's lowest strata.

There's a number of examples of this in The First Law and its semi-sequels:
Early in the first trilogy, dashing soldier turned disfigured Torture Technician Inquisitor Glokta has his Big Fun former friend and comrade Salems Rews shipped to a penal colony in the North for defrauding the Crown. In the story line set in the North, one character who appears is the hideously burned convict and ex-soldier Pike. There's no real hint that Rews and Pike are the same person, and it is therefore a shocking twist when Pike/Rews pulls No Doubt the Years Have Changed Me on Glokta at the very end of the trilogy.
In Best Served Cold, the antiheroine Monza is nursed back to health after her attempted murder by a somewhat creepy man calling himself the Bone Thief. Also appearing in the novel is the seasoned Professional Killer Shenkt. What makes the reveal that the two men are the same person a bit of twist is that the Bone Thief was established as an ally of Monza and Shenkt at least ostensibly accepted a commission to kill her.
In Red Country, although the real names of the characters are never said, the reader is to understand that The So-Called Coward Lamb is The Dreaded Logen Ninefingers/The Bloody Nine and The Mayor is former Merchant Princess Carlot dan Eider.
The magus Bayaz has ruled the Union behind the scenes for centuries, something which he accomplished through multiple instances of this. Bayaz is bald as have been the lead advisers to various kings and Bayaz claims apparently truthfully that all of those bald men were actually just him. Among other things, he was Bialoveld, known for being The Good Chancellor and producing Machiavellian political writings, as well as the arch-reactionary Zoller who founded the Inquisition and enforced the law through torture and repression. Additionally, Bayaz controls the powerful bank Valint and Balk and is both Valint and Balk.

In The Victors Project series:
The Big Bad of The Bonds of Blood is The Speaker, who was driven out of the Capitol and the Districts to live in the wild. At the beginning of the story, he and his tribe torture Enobaria and kills her friends (motivating her to volunteer for the 62nd Hunger Games in exchange for the opportunity to face him again). In the final chapters, he turns out to be Tanni Romero, a character from Fall Into the River seeking revenge for the punishment he got for getting a victor pregnant.
During Chapter 37 of the main story, a Peacekeeper commander who enlists Mags to investigate the death of her fellow Victor Wheaton is revealed to actually be Coriolanus Snow, who uses what she uncovers to seize the presidency.

A major reveal of the first game: throughout the game, the Big Bad is referred to as Monokuma and The Mastermind, but they are eventually revealed to be a robot avatar, and their real name is only revealed at the end of the game: Junko Enoshima. Throughout the rest of the series, she picks up several other aliases and uses them to continue controlling the game- in the sequel she briefly creates a fake Makoto avatar to deceive the survivors, the prequel novel has her give herself amnesia and call herself Ryoko Otonashi, and in the interquel both Shirokuma and Kurokuma are avatars she uses for Running Both Sides of the war in Towa City. In the first and second game, Monokuma and The Mastermind were also considered the same, whereas following titles consider them separate entities.

Tales of Symphonia:
Regal Bryant, who manages to fit this trope despite never using an alias. The convict in your party is only referred to as Regal, while the Lezareno executive is consistently referred to as President Bryant.
This is taken even further with Mithos, the half-elf child you meet and befriend after his home is attacked. Not only is he the same Mithos as Mithos the hero, but his last name is revealed to be Yggdrasill, the older-looking main villain of the game who you've already met and battled at the time.

Aragorn as Strider/Thorongil/whatever name he uses for adventuring and Aragorn as Elessar the Isildur's Heir in The Lord of the Rings. There's no surprise for the reader, but in-universe not many people know they are the same person. Barliman Butterbur particularly is very surprised when he learns that the King who Returned and Strider the strange vagabond he knew are one and the same.

From the Kamen Rider franchise...
Kamen Rider Fourze: The series' Big Bad, initially just called "The Red-Eyed Man", turns out to be Amanogawa High School's chairman Mitsuaki Gamou, former astronaut and implied by a Flashback at the start of the series to be the killer of Kengo Utahoshi's father. One of his Dragons is the incredibly powerful and ruthless Virgo Zodiarts, whose main job is making Gamou's enemies disappear...permanently. Kamen Rider Meteor has his supervisor Tachibana, who tracks Zodiarts from the satellite M-BUS that gives Ryusei the power to transform into Meteor. Later on we meet Dr. Kuniteru Emoto, a friend of Dr. Utahoshi's who is nervous and clumsy but very smart and willing to help Kengo. The big reveal: Emoto is Virgo, Tachibana, and Dr. Utahoshi's killer. They were friends once, but he grew jealous and betrayed his friend — and he's capable of generating the "red eyes" like Gamou. Over time he began to feel remorse for his actions and tried to redeem himself by helping the Kamen Riders as Tachibana in the hopes of stopping Gamou.
Kamen Rider Wizard: From the start of the series we have the "White Wizard", the enigmatic Rider-like mentor who appeared to Haruto after he survived the Sabbat, giving him the Transformation Trinket and training he needed to become Wizard. Partway through the series, a mysterious man shows up at the antiques shop and commissions "Pops" Wajima to craft him a magic ring; Haruto's contacts in the government identify the man as Sou Fueki, a physicist and college professor. While Fueki being the White Wizard is obvious enough, the real reveal is that he's also Wiseman, the Big Bad who's been commanding the Phantoms, and is really playing both sides to achieve his ultimate goal, resurrecting his deceased daughter. Post-series it was revealed that the White Wizard's official name is "Kamen Rider Wiseman", which was kept hidden for obvious reasons.
Played strangely in Kamen Rider Ghost - the ghostly Sage who assists the heroes is obviously played by the same actor as the villains' Minister Edith, but they're so different in personality and goals that it's unclear whether this is at play or there's some other reason for their resemblance (further confused by implications that one or both characters can create Artificial Ghosts). Then the heroes start meeting with Edith, and he doesn't seem to recognise them or know who the Sage is. The truth is revealed anticlimactically when at one of their meetings, Edith forgets to change out of his Sage outfit.
Kamen Rider Build does this legitimately with Blood Stalk, the mysterious and eccentric enemy commander who's present from the start of the series. Fairly early on it's revealed that he's actually Soichi Isurugi, the mysterious and eccentric coffee shop owner who's been helping Build from the very beginning. Later on, it's revealed that "Stalk" is actually an alien entity named Evolt that was possessing Isurugi and trying to reclaim his original power so he can destroy Earth.

In Girl Genius, twenty years before the story starts, the continent was attacked by an unknown Spark simply called "the Other," who started by destroying Castle Heterodyne and kidnapping Lucrezia Mongfish, the wife of William Heterodyne, and attacked many more places before Klaus Wulfenbach returned.

Death Note:
L isn't just one of the top 3 detectives in the world, he's all of them under separate aliases. In Another Note, Mello estimates the number of aliases L goes by to be somewhere in the three-digit range.
Early in the series the audience never sees Light's father around the house, being told that he's working. Turns out he's the police chief that's already been around for a few chapters.
After L's death at his hands, Light Yagami assumes control of the Kira Taskforce and presents himself to police around the world under the name "L" while still maintaining his identity as Kira.

Song of the Lioness: In book 3, The Woman Who Rides Like a Man, a mysterious rogue named Claw turns up in Corus as part of an attempt to become the Rogue himself, overthrowing the current Rogue, George. George gets suspicious that Claw may have been noble-born, and brings Baron Myles in to see Claw secretly. Myles agrees with George's suspicions, and sets one of his agents to investigate. The investigation reveals that Claw is Ralon of Malven, the bully page who troubled Alanna during her early years in knight training, before she managed to decisively beat him in a fight and cause him to quit training. He was unrecognizable due to facial disfigurements caused when the maid of a girl he tried to rape threw acid in his face.

A major reveal in Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is that all of the Faced Mechon aside from Egil/Gold Face are Homs who were captured and Reforged into a Minion.
Metal Face, The Heavy for the first half of the game, is Mumkhar, Dunban's friend and comrade who abandoned him in the Battle of Sword Valley and seemed to get killed by Mechon.
Face Nemesis, the third major Faced Mechon fought, is piloted by Fiora, Shulk's Love Interest who appeared to be killed by Metal Face in Chapter 2, and possessed by Lady Meyneth, Egil's helper and the goddess of Mechonis.
Jade Face, the last of the Faced Mechon fought before Egil/Gold Face, is Gadolt, Sharla's missing fiancé who she spent the game tracking down.

Danganronpa:
Genocide Jack is an infamous Serial Killer. In the first game, she is revealed to be a Split Personality of shy bookworm Toko Fukawa.
Similarly, Sparkling Justice is a serial killer that targets criminals. In the second game, Peko Pekoyama assumes this identity. Subverted when it turns out she was just pretending to be Sparkling Justice, since the killer actually acts only in Spain. Possibly double subverted in Killer Killer, which implies that Sparkling Justice is also the titular character, whose real name is Takumi Hijirihara, even though this has not been confirmed.
A major reveal of the first game: throughout the game, the Big Bad is referred to as Monokuma and The Mastermind, but they are eventually revealed to be a robot avatar, and their real name is only revealed at the end of the game: Junko Enoshima. Throughout the rest of the series, she picks up several other aliases and uses them to continue controlling the game- in the sequel she briefly creates a fake Makoto avatar to deceive the survivors, the prequel novel has her give herself amnesia and call herself Ryoko Otonashi, and in the interquel both Shirokuma and Kurokuma are avatars she uses for Running Both Sides of the war in Towa City. In the first and second game, Monokuma and The Mastermind were also considered the same, whereas following titles consider them separate entities.
A major reveal in the second game: Izuru Kamukura and Hajime Hinata were the same person; though with different personalities, they inhabited the same body. By the end of the third installment, they have merged into a single being, with Hajime's personality being dominant but retaining Kamukura's memories and talents.

The Mule: Magnifico Giganticus, who claims to be the Mule's escaped jester, is actually the Mule. The fact that nearly every description the reader gets of the Mule comes from Magnifico (it's explicitly pointed out that Magnifico is pathologically terrified of the Mule, making his descriptions gross exaggerations) helps obscure this.

Prelude to Foundation: Cleon I's Chief of Staff, Eto Demerzel, is hiding a secret identity; he's actually R. Daneel Olivaw, from Robots and Empire. Chetter Hummin is suspicious of him, and tries to help Hari Seldon avoid the man behind the throne, because Eto is hiding secrets and will want to use Seldon's work for selfish reasons. This works up until the climax, when Seldon encounters Eto Demerzel directly, and realizes that Chetter Hummin is a false identity used by Demerzel to control his actions all along. The identity (Chetter Hummin) is a pun — he's cheating at being human — because he's a robot.

Odd Squad: In "Totally Odd Squad", Oprah tells the story of how she became the Director of Precinct 13579. Back in 1983, she was an Investigation agent and stopped a villainess known as the "Patternista", who had stolen the giant ball of gum from the town museum and kidnapped Oprah's boss. Despite her partner O'Donahue giving up and (presumably) quitting Odd Squad midway through, Oprah pushes on and manages to find the Patternista's location. However, when she arrives and confronts the villainess, she takes off her outfit and reveals that the "Patternista" is really Oprah's boss, who had been planning to retire and made up the entire case as a test to see if Oprah was fit to be her successor.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
In A Game of Thrones, after being forced into retirement by Joffrey, Ser Barristan Selmy pledges to serve the rightful ruler and vanishes. A decent part of the next two books features various people vying for the throne wondering where the hell he went, until late in the third book he unmasks himself... on the other side of the world, where he's serving Daenerys Targaryen and has been for some time, under the name Arstan Whitebeard.
In A Feast for Crows, Samwell Tarly briefly meets a girl called Cat. The reader knows all along that Cat is really Arya Stark, and that she is the sister of Samwell's friend Jon Snow, but he is oblivious to this.
Theon Greyjoy is knocked out at the end of A Clash of Kings, and then is missing for the next two books. Then in A Dance with Dragons, a dirty, weak, and slightly insane character called Reek is introduced. Gradually, hints are made, until it is finally made clear that Reek is what is left of Theon after a year of physical and mental torture.

In the Punk Hazard arc we learn that The Man Behind the Man of the Arc Villain is someone who calls himself "Joker" and is one of the most impactful figures in the criminal underworld. It's later revealed that Joker is a character we already know: Donquixote Doflamingo.
One of the biggest Wham Episodes in the series happens in the Wano arc, where it's revealed that the mysterious Joy Boy who left behind the Poneglyph in Fish-Man Island is also the Sun God Nika, a mythical liberator of slaves mentioned by Who's-Who during his fight with Jimbei, who was really an Awakened user of the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika (the true name of Luffy's devil fruit) who lived during the Void Century. When Luffy Awakens his fruit during the climax of the Wano arc, he effectively becomes the next inheritor of the original Joy Boy's will and the new Sun God Nika.

The Zodiac Series: In the third book, Black Moon, it's revealed that Morscerta, the Aquarian ambassador who seemingly died in the armada, and Crompton, the current ambassador who until then had seemed like a Reasonable Authority Figure, are not only the same person, they're also Aquarius, the master who had been orchestrating all the tragedies in the series.

In Best Served Cold, the antiheroine Monza is nursed back to health after her attempted murder by a somewhat creepy man calling himself the Bone Thief. Also appearing in the novel is the seasoned Professional Killer Shenkt. What makes the reveal that the two men are the same person a bit of twist is that the Bone Thief was established as an ally of Monza and Shenkt at least ostensibly accepted a commission to kill her.

Theon Greyjoy is knocked out at the end of A Clash of Kings, and then is missing for the next two books. Then in A Dance with Dragons, a dirty, weak, and slightly insane character called Reek is introduced. Gradually, hints are made, until it is finally made clear that Reek is what is left of Theon after a year of physical and mental torture.

There are quite a few examples in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel:
Comrade C, the leader of Imperial Liberation Front is actually none other than Crow Armbrust, the lazy playboy who's just recently joined your class.
Likewise, the host of Abend Time, Misty and the famous opera singer Vita Clotilde turn out to be one and the same. And not just that, she's also the second Anguis of Ouroboros!

The latter get phased out over time, however, as Dib gets used to them, until they're exclusively referred to by their true names; by Chapter 42, Dib has trouble even remembering the human aliases.

Cormoran Strike Novels:
In Career of Evil, Donald Laing and Ray Williams are the same person. Laing (his true identity) uses crutches he doesn't need when acting as himself, and when he meets Strike in the guise of Ray Williams, he uses a different accent and rubs something in his eyes to make himself cry, so he can hold a handkerchief to his face.
In Troubled Blood, Strike interviews Janice Beattie twice and speaks to Clare Spencer the social worker on the phone. Janice and Clare are the same person. Janice, who speaks with a thick Cockney accent, adopts a "middle-class" accent when phoning Strike as "Clare".

Both are introduced as original characters with vastly different personalities and appearances, only to be revealed as one in the same at the end of Chapter 7, the former being a cover identity for the latter while he was Faking the Dead, who proceeds with "killing" the former identity once he finds he's done all he can with it.

Done quite subtly in Solo. Vos, the head of the Crimson Dawn syndicate, offhandedly mentions that he himself answers to someone even higher up the chain of command. In the end, that someone is revealed to be Maul, the former Sith apprentice of Darth Sidious. This is particularly surprising for audiences who weren't familiar with The Clone Wars or Rebels, as Maul was apparently killed off much earlier in the franchise (The Phantom Menace, to be exact, which was released eighteen years before Solo).

In Sard Harker, Harker stumbles on a plot by a criminal named Hirsch to abduct and ritually murder a woman named Margarita Kingsborough. He spends most of the novel a few steps behind the villains, and doesn't meet either Hirsch or Miss Kingsborough properly until nearly the end — and both of them turn out to be examples of this trope.
Part of Harker's backstory is that many years ago he met and fell in love with a woman called Juanita de la Torre, only to be parted from her in circumstances such that he was unable to find her again — until he meets Margarita Kingsborough near the end of the novel, and immediately recognizes her. This is foreshadowed heavily from the outset and the eventual reveal is not so much "Señorita de la Torre and Miss Kingsborough are the same person" as "This is how it's possible that Señorita de la Torre and Miss Kingsborough are the same person".
Father Garsinton, an apparently friendly character Harker meets near the beginning of the book before stumbling on the kidnapping plot, turns out to have been Hirsch in disguise.
Also, when recounting the backstory of Harker's friend Don Miguel, mention is made of a man named Rafael who was involved in the death of Don Miguel's fiancée and escaped retribution afterward; the first time that Rafael's surname or Hirsch's given name is mentioned is when it is revealed that Rafael Hirsch is both of them.

Stranger Things Season 4 ups the ante by having four characters across two storylines all being the same person: Victor Creel's son Henry, initially thought to be one of Vecna's first victims, had psychic powers, and was the one to actually kill his sister and mother, but the strain of using his powers like that put hin in a coma. The government took him and began conducting experiements in Hawkins Labratory, where he becomes the test subject number One. Later he is watching over the later subjects disguised as an orderly, and he manipulates Eleven into removing his Power Limiter, after which he massacres the other inhabitants. When Eleven rejects his offer that We Can Rule Together, a psychic duel ensues that ends with him hurled into the Upside Down, where he becomes Vecna.

In The Secret Adversary, the heroes need to locate a missing woman before the villain learns an important secret from her, but are hampered by the fact that they don't know what either looks like. (They have the woman's name, but no photo or physical description, and the villain keeps both his true name and appearance secret even from his colleagues.) Both the villain and the woman appear in the narrative and interact with the heroes under other names before their true identities are revealed.

Fairy Tail is rather fond of this, with some characters pulling off two aliases via magical projections of themselves:
Councilman Siegrain, initially believed to be the Good Twin of the terrorist Jellal, is later revealed to be Jellal's double created to manipulate the council in a ploy to gather enough magic energy to revive Zeref.
Alexei, a mysterious armored man first seen leading Raven Tail's elite team in the Grand Magic Games, is actually Raven Tail's master Ivan, who places a holographic projection of himself in the rafters while he privately interrogates his son Laxus in person since guild masters are forbidden from taking part in the tournament.
Mato, the pumpkin mask-wearing mascot of the Grand Magic Games, is later revealed to be the King of Fiore himself, Toma E. Fiore. The first indicator of this is when Mato is absent on the second day of the Games, which is the only day the king happens to show up.
Zeref's ultimate Etherious demon is called "E.N.D." While this name is an alias by itself, it is short for Etherious Natsu Dragneel, revealing the true identity behind E.N.D.
Emperor Spriggan, the initially unseen ruler of the Alvarez Empire, is believed by everyone who knows his name to be the next in a long line of Arc Villain before the final battle with Zeref and Acnologia. A short while later, he makes his appearance and it turns out it actually is Zeref himself, signaling the climax of the series.

In Unsounded, the identity of the mastermind behind the First Silver operation, "Delicieu", is revealed midway through the first arc. It's not until five chapters later that we learn that name is an alias adopted by Cutter, a character we've already met. Later it gets more complicated when it turns out the original bearer of the name "Delicieu" was a different person, whom Cutter is essentially impersonating.

In Chrono Trigger, Fiendlord Magus from 600 A.D. and Prince Janus from 12,000 B.C. are one and the same. Time Travel is involved, so both Magus and Janus appear on-screen at the same time. Because both versions of this character were introduced in two different time periods, not to mention that Magus is a man and Janus is a boy, players are none the wiser about their connection. However, it's revealed that an incident caused Janus to be forcibly dragged into the year 580 A.D. with no way to return. 20 years later, he gained a terrifying reputation as the Fiendlord Magus.

The ninth season of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic features Grogar as an alter-ego for Discord, who only wanted to gather some previous villains to mentally prepare Twilight Sparkle for her coronation, something that isn't revealed until the Grand Finale.

Doctor Who:
Captain Jack Harkness and the Face of Boe, two vastly different characters that appeared in vastly different stories, are implied to be this by a line of dialogue in "Last of the Time Lords".
Season 3 name-drops a then-unseen character, Harold Saxon, several times. in The Sound of Drums it is revealed that Saxon was actually The Master the entire time.
A number of characters introduced around the same time in series 6 (Amy's baby, the girl in the astronaut suit, Amy's childhood friend Mels) turn out to be River Song at different ages.
"The Return of Doctor Mysterio": Grant's employer, Mrs. Lombard, doesn't appear on screen until well into the episode, at which point it's revealed that she's Lucy Fletcher, the Intrepid Reporter that Grant rescued as his superhero alter ego. (Fletcher is her maiden name, which she still uses for professional purposes.) Grant knew all along, but the Doctor and Nardole find out at the same time as the audience.

Changeling: The Lost: A True Fae can hold between zero and five Titles, each of which is for most purposes an entire separate character with its own goals, personality, powers, and resources. These Titles do not necessarily have to be related to each other in any way (especially since the Fae are constantly fighting to steal Titles from each other), and sometimes the only way to discover the relation between a Fae's Titles is to injure one of them and see who else gets angry.

Nan Quest purposefully plays with reader expectations through this. One of the antagonists introduced early on is a creature called the Pilgrim. During a later Time Travel segment, Nan meets a man called Lorenzo, who describes himself as a pilgrim. The obvious assumption is that they are the same person, but this is actually a Red Herring. The Pilgrim is actually Henry, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing who pretended to be the Love Interest.

Baccano!:
Claire Stanfield not only has the reputation as the world's most violent and dangerous assassin, but is also the greatest challenger to that claim, Felix Walken. Gustavo then makes the mistake of hiring the latter to kill the former (along with his stepbrothers, the Gandors) and violent hilarity ensues.
Despite the fact that immortals have magically-enforced difficulty with aliases, Lebreau Fermet Viralesque is usually only known by one part of his real name per identity.

fernwithy's The Hunger Games fan fiction stories, The End of the World series does this, along with Composite Character, with Ceaser Flickerman being a prominent presence, naturally, having an oddly deep amount of empathy for the victors and the tributes they mentor. It is occasionally, although always subtly hinted that he is also Charlie Flynn, the Victor of the 1st Quarter Quell, who refused to go back home to District 5 after they voted for him to go into the Hunger Games and disappeared shortly after President Snow took power. and eventually confirmed in one of the final stories, House of Cards.

The Cosmere:
In Warbreaker, it turns out that the infamous Kalad the Usurper, who nearly started a world war; and the revered Peacegiver, who ended it; were really the same person, who had become The Atoner, even though history thinks this was two different people. That person has many names, and is currently known as Vasher, and their "real" name (or at least the name they were given when they Returned) was Warbreaker the Peaceful.
To add to the above example, in The Stornlight Archive, Vasher turns up in book 2, Words of Radiance going by Vanthel/Zahel, and Vivenna turns up in book 3, Oathbringer, as Highmarshal Azure. Vasher is more easily identifiable before the reveal, as he uses colour-related idioms, while Vivenna isn't unmasked until she's seen in Shadesmar.

Taylor Varga: In order to keep her actual power (the ability to shapeshift into any form that is at least vaguely reptilian) under wraps, Taylor goes to a lot of trouble to pretend she is actually several related lizard-themed capes. This gets a lot easier when she works out how to use a form of spatial folding to be in two places at once, especially since the Varga can run one of her bodies while she runs the other, and both halves of her form can shapeshift independently.

Where the Crawdads Sing: The final chapter reveals that Kya, the main character, is also "lesser-known poet, Amanda Hamilton, published recently in the local newspaper", whose poems she would often quote throughout the novel, and which has seemed unusually seemed to parallel aspects of her life.

Batman (Grant Morrison) introduced a gentleman investigator with a bandaged face named Oberon Sexton, who assisted Batman for some time trying to track down a series of murders they were both sure were linked, but couldn't spot the pattern to. Eventually Batman realised what the pattern was: all the deaths were references to the punchlines of several jokes. The bandages came off Sexton's face, and sure enough, the Joker was grinning under them. A later Morrison story featured Nero Nykto, the criminal detective, who was hired by a gang moving into Gotham to investigate Batman Incorporated, but turned out to be Batman himself.

In The Saga of Darren Shan, you know from as soon as he introduces himself that Harkat Mulds is a creature resurrected from a dead soul. What you don't know until book 10 is that the person he was when he was alive is Kurda Smahlt, a vampire who featured prominently in the series before that point, and whose life overlaps with Harkat's presence in the story. Time travel was involved.

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes has a case of three aliases, originally all believed to be different people, for one character, though one of these three plays with it a bit:
The straight example is that the former hero Laserblast survived the accident that was believed to have killed him, but was de-powered during it and turned to crime afterwards, becoming the villainous Professor Venomous by the present day.
Then in a slightly more complex example, it's revealed that Shadowy Figure is Professor Venomous's Turbo form, created when the latter experimented on himself in an attempt to get his powers back. Where it gets complicated is that Shadowy Figure is more than just the Superpowered Evil Side for Venomous the way that T.K.O. is for K.O.; Shadowy is a straight-up Split Personality that Venomous himself doesn't know about until the episode where the audience also finds out. Shadowy always knew they were the same person, but didn't want Venomous to know, and actively took measures to keep him from learning this.

Fight Club: Tyler and the narrator. In fact, at one point, the narrator even wonders if Tyler and Marla are the same person, invoking this trope.

Die Another Day: Gustav Graves, the young head of a new multinational corporation that managed to corner the world diamond market is revealed to be Colonel Tan-Sun Moon, formerly of the Korean People's Army who was presumed dead by MI6 after Bond's mission in the Korean DMZ in the Action Prologue seemingly killed him — turns out he escaped death unbeknownst to both Western intelligence as well as his own father General Moon. It's unexpected since Gustav Graves, played by Toby Stephens, is visibly Caucasian while Colonel Moon, played by Will Yun Lee, is visibly Asian — this is explained in-universe by a radical new gene-therapy technology that could change the looks of a persom better than plastic surgery, which Moon took advantage of in Cuba while laying low during the years Bond spent as a POW in North Korea.

In NEO: The World Ends with You, Rindo has an online friend known as Swallow who he's never met in person, but learns that both of them are in Shibuya during the prologue. Interestingly, they're still able to communicate after Rindo gets dragged into the Reapers' Game and is cut off from contact with the outside world. This is because the account belongs to Shoka, a Reaper who was using it to interact with the world of the living.
