Cool mysterious guys in suits are the best, right?

But I rarely see them, and I imagine when they do appear they are either uncool, not mysterious or plain cringe.

I know this is vague, but if you have novels where there are cool, mysterious and uncringe men in suits appearing and are pivotal somehow to the plot, give recommendations pls

@TenderHuman , are suits compulsory? Or guys from secret organization doing their mysterious cool job is enough? I've read a novel, where some secret organization literally fought local gods on different planets (to save populace from their leaching of power). Will that do (I need to look at my bookmarks on RR to write the exact title)?

Lucifer from 'The Sandman Slim' Series is badass in a suit, Even though we rarely see him in action.

Going with the classics:The gman and slenderman (I’m talk about the Marble Hornets version (the YouTube series, not the awful movie))

Demon lord Retry. It's an Overlord style kind of cool. Badass on the outside, and a normal guy on the inside.

In general, are we talking about an organization or a standalone character? For some reason, I immediately thought of a secret organization (such as "Men in Black") or special agents (such as Agent Smith in "The Matrix"). But, as I see, others offer individual characters (Lucifer, Hakuto Kunai). Then any novel (or other type of story) that has a cool butler should do (they are always depicted in a suit). Even in the "Overlord" series, which I sincerely hate, there is Sebas Tian, who is undoubtedly cool, who plays an important role in the plot.

By the way. "A Normal Everyday Teenager" by Sleepy Traveler on RR features the secret organization, that is mimicking FBI (so, they are wearing black suits). One agent from it plays the role of MC's mentor. But I don't know what makes you cringe. He is a little bit odd and awkward, according to my feelings.

The emphasis is not even on cool, but on mysterious and cool. Whether there is an organisation behind him is not important.
For example, slenderman who was recommended- heck if the author knows if there is an organisation behind him.
Or gman whom I referenced. We know nothing about him.
Both mysterious, cool and uncringe. Pivotal to plot.

the anime getbackers has a relitivly important side character who wears a suit. it starts out episodic while introducing the characters before entering the main storyline.

he is basically similar to hisoka in hxh
