Learn English – what is the word that describes someone who keeps their real personality secret

word-choice

I knew a word for this a while ago. It sounded French or Italian and may have begun with im or em or something. It basically describes somebody who gives off one type of personality and keeps their own secret or I guess just someone who keeps their own personality secret. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
