* Exaggerated in ''Theatre/RideTheCyclone'', which opens with half a dozen high school choir members dying in a freak roller coaster accident. Five arrive in limbo in relatively good condition (considering the fact that they've died), but the sixth shows up with no head and no memories of her life on Earth. "Jane Doe," as she's christened, is totally unknown to the other students (none of them can remember her), to narrator (he didn't [[FortuneTeller read her fortune]] before the accident, so he doesn't know who she is), and to herself.
--> '''Jane Doe''': "Jane Doe" is what the coroner said.\\
They found my body, not my head.\\
No parents came, and so they never learned my name,\\
or who I used to be. My life, an unsolved mystery.\\

* ''Literature/TheCosmere'': Hoid is a mysterious [[DimensionalTraveler worldhopper]] who appears at least in the background in every book, including ones set centuries apart. He often has a small but important role in events, giving a few words at the right moment to push the main characters in the right direction. Other worldhoppers, universally, find him an annoyance at best. In ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'' he is "the King's Wit" and takes a much more active role, but it's also clear that he enjoys being aloof and mysterious more than is probably healthy.
-->'''Kaladin:''' Wit never gives me answers. At least not straight ones.\\
'''Zahel:''' That's because Wit is an asshole.

** ''WebVideo/FalloutNukaBreak'' has a BrickJoke involving the Mysterious Stranger walking through Eastwood when a gust of wind blows his hat off. Twig picks it up and returns it to him, jokingly saying "now you owe me". The Stranger, apparently either SarcasmBlind or [[HonorBeforeReason just that honour-bound]], returns the favour several episodes later by "rescuing" Twig's group from a single measly Radroach, which he ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill empties his entire magnum into]]''. He then declares that he and Twig are "even" and [[StealthHiBye vanishes without a trace]]. Very much a waste of the Stranger's massive damage output, [[RuleOfFunny which is what makes it funny]].
