The Puppeteer

"Ah, yes, my worthy adversaries. T'was I who was pulling the strings the whole time—"

"Shut the FUCK UP."

The one who's the operator of certain events without anyone they don't want to know doing just that. The audience is usually left to wonder just who is it that's causing all of these strange things to happen. The Puppeteer works through underlings from the shadows who do all of their bidding. As the Puppeteer is often unknown to the audience, when it comes down to show who they are, it's likely a Big Reveal.
