It's Assassin Rebecca Crane that rescues him and promptly recruits him to the side of the Assassins.
** ''Videogame/AssassinsCreedII'': Ezio Auditore was the first known instance, being raised in an Assassin family without knowing his heritage. After [[spoiler: his father and brothers are publicly executed]], he discovers his family's Assassin gear and operates [[IWorkAlone alone for a while]] before being formal inducted into the Brotherhood.
** ''Videogame/AssassinsCreedUnity'': Arno Dorian had a similarly unfortunate upbringing, the son of an Assassin, Arno is adopted into a Templar family [[spoiler: after his father is murdered]] with the rare intent on welcoming him to their side of the masquerade. It doesn't end up happening and Arno is recognized by Pierre Bellec [[spoiler: after being thrown into the Bastille for murder]], who brings him back to the Assassins.
** Shaun Hastings wasn't supposed to know about the Assassin-Templar war, but his penchant for looking into conspiracies led him to Abstergo Industries (the modern day Templar Order). Because Templars are fond of [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade killing people who find out about them]], Shaun is kidnapped to be executed. It's Assassin Rebecca Crane that rescues him and promptly recruits him to the side of the Assassins.

Normally a part of FantasticRecruitmentDrive. Related to IAmWho, for when a character learns of his secret parentage. Subtrope of BrokenMasquerade. Compare also WeHaveBeenResearchingPhlebotinumForYears, where the character being introduced is not necessarily a part of TheMasquerade but finds people who can tell him of it, anyway. Also compare with KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade and JoinOrDie. See also TomatoInTheMirror, for when a character sees with their own eyes a revelation about themselves.

* Invoked in the ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' series. When fast-food vendor Zemelda Cleat witnesses a battle between an [[BadassNormal Amberley Vail]] and an alien species she is not supposed to even know exists, said Inquisitor promptly recruits her right on the spot - much to the surprise of Cain, who immediately assumed she would be KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade. It is strongly, ''strongly'' implied that Amberley [[DirtyBusiness would have immediately done just that]] if Zemelda had refused, however...
