* ''VideoGame/LoveOfMagic'': an ExaggeratedTrope with Merlin, who has planned things out 1500 years after his own death, leading to Owyn's birth and ascension to Godhood. His plans even encompass multiple timelines, explicitly intending for the AlternateTimeline Owyn to die and for original-timeline Owyn to be drawn across to finish the job. The planning was so precise that the AlternateTimeline armor was delivered to Owyn on the morning after his arrival, having been ordered decades earlier.

* ''VideoGame/MasterDetectiveArchivesRainCode'': Everything that happens in the game can be traced back to [[spoiler:the scheming of [[BigBadEnsemble Makoto Kagutsuchi and Yomi Hellsmile]] in order to get into power over Kanai Ward's citizens. To single out their overarching schemes, however, Makoto brought the Master Detectives to Kanai Ward so they would oppose Yomi while he kept them clueless to the citizens actually being homunculi, and pretty much everything in the game that doesn't happen because of Yomi is instead happening because of Makoto. As for Yomi, he secured his position over Kanai Ward by working with Amaterasu Corporation's head researcher and bribing other factions into submission, in turn keeping anyone from removing him from his position by conventional means, which is what urges Makoto's actions.]]

* ''VideoGame/KnightBewitched2'': Despite his nervous disposition, the whole plot more or less goes according to [[spoiler:Hermes's plan. He knows the Vulcan Stone is in the Underworld, so he tells the dwarves about a passage to it so that they'll organize an expedition to Deepforge I, putting the party in a position to find the Vulcan Stone pieces. He then tells Lissandra about the expedition and arranges for the party to find the pieces so that Lissandra doesn't have to risk her life. When the party finds the pieces, Hermes gives the pieces to Lissandra and allows her to escape, but then he tells the party where she's going so that when they reclaim the stone, it'll be in its completed form. In the final dungeon, this allows him to use the stone to remove "Lilith's Blessing" from Lissandra, bringing her back to normal at the cost of his own sanity and humanity.]]

* Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader in ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'' wears a scarf with a chessboard pattern and claims to be the diabolical mastermind behind a NebulousEvilOrganization. [[spoiler: While this ends up being a lie, Kokichi shows hints of being smarter than he lets on more and more frequently as time progresses. While at first glance his actions are chaotic, there's a calculated madness in them. He never wants to play the Killing Game the way the mastermind wants, so he becomes the biggest naysayer in trials and clashes with Kaede and Shuichi because they dance right into the mastermind's game. His decision to manipulate Gonta into collecting everyone in one place in the second chapter is so everyone can watch each other's motive videos and know just who they need to watch out for. He trolls Maki into revealing her true talent after seeing her motive video and recognizing its danger. He even [[ThanatosGambit arranges his own death]] [[CrazyPrepared in advance]] so the mastermind is as blind and powerless as everyone else in the Killing Game.]]
