I am taken from the world to give judgment.
I could be the devil with the power of the fool.
Together with the traitor we are death;
A difference to he and she who rule.
Before the sign of the unknown,
Mine own in front of the old man is found.
As you see, to some I am I,
But to others I am he who will confound.

Who or what am I?

Major effort, but you've got it all upside down (a temporary reversal, we predict).  There's a good deal of information buried within this riddle.  Take another look, turning each element over in your mind one at a time. With a little sleight of hand and digital manipulation, the proper course will be revealed.
