Pretty much every such character will no doubt be revealed at some point. There's always some new writer or artist that comes in thinking THEY are the right person to finally reveal the visage beneath the mask...and it almost every time results in the downturn in the character's popularity. The closest I've seen to any character sticking to their guns in this regard is Judge Dredd, who has yet - in over forty years - to take off his officer's helmet. I think after a point, it's a mistake to ever have a character who's identity is so tied into this concept, go on to reveal their 'true face'. It very rarely satisfies anyone and unless there is some world-changing revelation to be uncovered in doing so, really, what could live up to the expectation? Ultimately, in light of a character taking the step of unveiling, we're almost always left with the inverse realisation of The Dark Knight Rises' Bane's thoughts on the subject:- No-one cares who you are, once you take off the mask.

The Goblin Slayer is so similar to Mando in character it's weird... he doesn't take his helmet off either. He has the same bad-ass aloofness, the unexpected caring side, the niavete about sex, and human relationships, the sens of honour, the one eye'd pursuit of his goals, the amazing tactical competence...

You don't see the faces of any of the other Mandos from the first season. Mano looks like Corey Feldman... it's a big let down XD

Characters you never see their Face: Phantom of the opera, “V”, Dr. Klaw, not really dangerous characters but all the adults from both Charlie Brown and the Muppet Babies, Charles from Charlie’s Angles, of course SnakeEyes, Destro, Cobra Commander, Dr. Victor Von Doom, Rorschach from Watchmen, BoBa Fett, Marvel’s Mysterio and WWE’s Ray Mysterio, too many to list. But I get what you mean. I don’t have any character like that. But if I had to choose which of my characters, it would be Voltfor. The Male SolarCell from my childhood is an all mask guy but I remember him not having a mask in the beginning before becoming a supervillain.

Not really the same, but I have a secondary character (who I hope to use more) who is always playing a "role." Quinn is nonbinary gender, a former thespian and master of disguise. I used the character once undercover as a female character whose job it was to distract Kaida. I have rudimentary scripts to use Quinn again as a male character gathering intel. I've shown Quinn's "true face" once (wig and make-up removed) just to establish the undercover identity.
