Mask
25th September 2004, 01:43 AM
The Mask is yet another of the auditors who seek to prevent severe meddling with the timestream, but he is not exactly a benevolent force. Rather than striving to prevent specific crimes against time, The Mask takes the fight to the criminals. He seems to genuinely enjoy destroying groups that would try to alter history, whether they be good or evil, and even if they have yet to attempt any encursions but will in the future.
No one knows who The Mask truly is or what he looks like. He is simply a figure, shrouded in layers of tattered brown cloth that totally conceal his form. His face is covered by a garish wooden mask, painted in red and blue and green, with a massive toothy grin and yellow eyes that seem almost to glow. Hanging from the mask are leather thongs holding bits of fur, bone, feathers, and beads covered with tiny arcane symbols. At least, this is the description given us by those few who have seen his true form.
In fact, The Mask spends most of his time in disguise. Using his spells to alter his appearance, he easily infiltrates any location or group. He has also found some way to avoid magical detection; he gives off no magical aura, no matter what.
His methods vary; sometimes he will live for years as a mole, embeding himself into an organization before efficiently assasinating the leaders. Other times he will simply appear from nowhere, unleash a salvo of spells, and leave piles of bodies in his wake.
Despite his perhaps excessive enjoyment of his work, this never interferes with his performance of his duties; he always gets the job done, though some of his peers often complain of the body count afterwards. Though he may work with other auditors on a mission, he always manages to ditch his teammates and take his own path during the actual mission.
