"I'm the master of disguise
I can vanish from your eyes
I can be in different places
With my many funny faces in disguuuuiiiiise!"
— Robbie Rotten from LazyTown, although his disguises are less than masterful to the viewer.
Use your alternate personas to spread chaos and confusion, as much as you can get away with. You can do an amazing imitation of the prince, the leader of a local gang, an up and coming politician - just about anything with enough preparation. As long as you don't have to be yourself, you are Everyman... or at least, every man's nightmare.

"Oh, that’s rubbish. His mask looks exactly like him, so why even bother? I bet he isn’t called the Master because he’s a master of disguise, that’s for sure."
— Sue on the Doctor Who episode "The Claws of Axos", Adventures with the Wife in Space
"There is no such thing as a master of disguise. If there was, I'd be one myself."

...Jodilynn excels at disguise and charm. Like a traveling player, she shifts roles depending on her "audience's" desires: for a clergyman, she becomes a penitent virgin; for a rake, a wanton slut; for a Baron, she's the wife she's always wanted; for a wizard, the eager apprentice with talent enough for two. No matter what disguise Blake chooses, the game remains similar: enter, entice, corrupt, expose, laugh, run, and disappear again.

Radar: [on the phone] I gotta go, Sparky. Col. Flagg just walked in.
Colonel Flagg: Alright, what tipped you off?
Radar: Well you don't look anything like you sir. And since you're a master of disguise I figured you were the only one who could look so much not like you, sir.
Colonel Flagg: I'll buy that.

"So this is what you look like. Many of us have wondered during the past two or three years. How much speculation there's been! How many contradictions... 'He's tall, you know; no, he's of medium height. He's blond; no, he has dark black hair. Very light blue eyes, of course; no, quite clearly, they are brown. His features are sharp; no, they're really quite ordinary, can't pick him out in a crowd.' But nothing was ordinary. It was all extraordinary. Your features have been softened, the character submerged. Change your hair, you change your face... Certain types of contact lenses are designed to alter the colour of the eyes... Wear glasses, you're a different man. Visas, passports... switched at will."
His agents know that Harvey takes on dozens of guises: he could be the man in the winter coat and scarf, sipping coffee in his car in the parking lot; he might be the state cop parked next to the billboard east of exit 35, he could be the bland-looking salesman chattering into his cell phone while he finishes his turkey club on wheat. If he needs to speak with a minion face to face, Harvey does so at night, arranging to meet behind a building in the glare of his car headlights. When he has a victim in his custody, he makes no effort to disguise his appearance, revealing himself to be tall, rail-thin, with a beak-like nose and narrow eyes that seem constantly in motion.

"And this is Mr. Shark, master of disguise. Apex predator of a thousand faces. His greatest trick? Stealing The Mona Lisa disguised as the Mona Lisa! Dig that."
