I can do some easy retrofitting by helping the players to uncover new information that contradicts earlier revelations. My paragon tier bad guy has been out of the world (petrified ) for 10,000 years, and only revived in the last 6 months, so it makes perfect sense that even with great skills, he simply would not know enough to really cover all the facts. So, I can start exposing my players to the holes the disguises as they start wrapping up with the heroic tier bad guys and discovering that some of them have alibis. That will help suggest that the villain has been directly involved for awhile now.  And I can start to foreshadow with rumors of powerful people acting strangely or contradicting themselves, suddenly spending alot of money, etc... When it comes to a fight, the shapeshifter can have already switched back...leaving a built-in escape plan. Willing agents can say things like "so-and-so left me here to deal with you." And unwilling agents can be a little confused...  vielen dank!</blockquote>
