Bob is leading a double life, and one of his identities is instructed to spy on, capture, or kill the other. This can occur in a number of ways: When an organization discovers it has been infiltrated and The Mole is given the task of uncovering the spy; or when a superhero's Secret Identity is instructed to find out the identity of his heroic alter-ego; or when a Career Killer who uses an alias is hired to kill his civilian identity, or when a detective or police officer is assigned to solve a crime that he himself committed.

  • Bob is leading a double life, and one of his identities is instructed to spy on, capture, or kill the other. This can occur in a number of ways: When an organization discovers it has been infiltrated and The Mole is given the task of uncovering the spy; or when a superhero's Secret Identity is instructed to find out the identity of his heroic alter-ego; or when a Career Killer who uses an alias is hired to kill his civilian identity, or when a detective or police officer is assigned to solve a crime that he himself committed. Someone in this situation may find himself having to maintain a careful balance. He can't actually kill/capture/unmask himself; but being too intentionally incompetent might either cause suspicion to fall on him or else get another man assigned to the job — someone who won't hold back from completing it. Sometimes a person might intentionally set himself up in this situation, using his position to Destroy the Evidence and cover his tracks. Other times, he may not even realize it himself, in which case the discovery that he's actually been hunting himself will be The Reveal. See also Detective Mole, Mole in Charge.
