is the leading character in Kurt Vonnegut's 'Mother Night'. He acts as an American spy in Nazi Germany by posing as a defector cum-radio propagandist broadcasting messages in code in the course of his announcements.

Vonnegut, posing as the editor of the memoir, offers the following moral to the story - "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
