word request - What do you call someone who has a lot of power and keeps a big secret?


I need help for a name of an essay for a school project.


What do you call someone who has a lot of power in maintaining order in a country and keeps a big secret that affects everyone but doesn't want to say it in fear he will lose his position. I need a noun.



Answer



Depending on the details, perhaps:



  • A conspirator (someone conspiring in secret, often to seize or keep power)

  • A fraud (someone who deceives others, perhaps about their own credentials)


  • A schemer

  • A plotter

  • A despot (someone with absolute, unlimited power)

  • An imposter (someone who ought not be in the position they are in, perhaps by pretending to be someone they are not)
