There actually weren't all that many true secret evils. There were a lot of people who wore their evil proudly on their shoulder, and there were a somewhat smaller number of people who everybody knew perfectly well were evil evil evil, but nobody could prove it yet who was willing to push the matter, and ICly some characters didn't know.
But evil characters where the vast majority of characters and players believed they were another alignment, very few that I saw who were well known. Some of them were never exposed while they were being played. Kara Du'Monte was probably the most notorious of them; even a lot of the DM team didn't know she was evil even though she'd been that way for iirc real life years. I only found out myself some months before the N'Jast War when a party she was in was in the Cold Caves, and I opened her character sheet pane to check something, and blinked and went, "Wait a minute, LAWFUL EVIL? What the )%#%$?!?!?" I thought it was a bug, but then I had a chat with Coaan after the trip and was told the truth.
This was such a well-guarded secret that for a time, Wykith helped Coaan maintain a COMPLETELY mirrored character (Nevae'ama) on an alt account. Kara was ALMOST outed when a Mecizq spell stunned her once (for the Order of the Divine Shield, everyone is typically lawful good, so "hammer of the gods" gets tossed around pretty freely). That was also the origin of a plot item for an item that allowed the bypassing of Temple wards.
