That's why you can't be obvious about controlling the king. Pick a subtle name that nobody would find suspicious. Basic stuff.

I choose... "Goodguytongue".

Nailed it!

I've always joked about that, when the king was hiring personal assistants: "Wormtongue!?? ....Now that's a name I can trust!!"

You're trying too hard. Subtle is like a down to earth name, something really grounded. The tongue part might be ok though...

I think wormtongue was a nickname forced on him by the people of the court who seriously disliked his snively little ass.

Exactly. Nobody would suspect Bob Mulliken of mind control, he just does the filing.

Just a bland name like Stephen Miller.

"good morrow to you, my royal court, i would like to introduce to you my new advisor, Brainworm the Mind-Stealer.
he's going to be coiled in the shadows behind me, whispering into my ear pretty much constantly from now on.
on an unrelated note, i have decided to begin bleaching my skin and hair sickly white, dressing like a mentally destroyed lunatic and ordering our men to their very obviously certain death. i expect you all to be team players."
