* Legion from ''MassEffect2'' doesn't join you until the endgame, and the fact that he/they even ''can'' be a protagonist is a twist, causing him to be a major source of spoiler tags.

* Diva'ratrika Val'Sharen, Liriel and "Diva" from ''{{Drowtales}}'' due to the fact that they are all technically the same person, with the last one being the final result of a FusionDance of the Diva'ratrika with a servant, with Liriel being the incomplete fusion. All of which spoilers the fact that Diva'ratrika has been dead since nearly the start of the story, with the coup that eventually killed her occurring in the story's prologue.

All of which spoilers the fact that Diva'ratrika has been dead for most of the story.

* Diva'ratrika Val'Sharen and Liriel from ''{{Drowtales}}'' due to the fact that they are the same person, with the former being the result of a FusionDance of the latter with a slave, and consequently the fact that Diva'ratrika has been dead for most of the story.

* Wheatley turning out to be an antagonist in ''[[{{Portal2}} Portal 2]]'' is meant to be a big twist. Thus, spoilers. Everywhere.

* Anime is full of these. For instance, Hanyuu in ''Higurashi'' is the real goddess who despises violence and tries to change fate over and over, hence the reason for the repeating worlds. In the anime, they censored out Rika's screams to Hanyuu as Hanyuu stabbed herself in front of Rika and Shion, and made you believe that only those who heard Hanyuu were crazy (Rena, Keiichi, etc.), or else too high up on the Hinamizawa Syndrome scale.

** In ''TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', the fact that the Syaoran who is the protagonist of the story is really a clone of the original who is sealed away in a glass cage by the villain is a well-done plot twist.
** Madara Uchiha from ''Naruto'' would also fit, since he is thought to be dead for a long time.
** King Bradly/Wrath from FullmetalAlchemist. His "son", Selim Bradley/Pride even more-so, though it's nicely handled on the character page by listing them as separate characters on separate pages, though Pride is pretty much an all-white entry as a result.

* Wheatley turning out to be an antagonist in ''Portal2'' is meant to be a big twist. Thus, spoilers. Everywhere.

* Yomiel, the mysterious BigBad of ''GhostTrick''. When he shows up, the game pretty much heads into one MindScrew and plot twist after another.

* Damn near every character in ''{{Xenoblade}}'' except for maybe Reyn and Riki.

* Darkrai from the second set of ''PokemonMysteryDungeon'' games is an example of a ManBehindTheMan who appears [[NotSoFastBucko after you think the story is over]].
