The only non-Bible case I could think of is Coleridge's "person from
Porlock", he who interrupted Coleridge's recording of his Kublai Khan

There is the ubiquitous man in the Macintosh in Ulysses, who appears at
a funeral Leopold bloom attends, and reappears throught the day. His
identity is one of the 'riddles of Ulysses.' I wouldn't call him a
'celebrity' though.
