Bacteria cell that lives inside other organism's cell.

Examples: some nitrification? and cellulose?-digesting Bacteria.

Eukaryota's organelles with [double membrane]?, most notably Mitochondrion and Chloroplast?, might be also endosymbionts.

Nucleus, while being organelle with [double membrane]?, is most probably not an endosymbiont, as genetic code of Nucleus is used to build parts of cell outside itself.
