The Faceless Ones (also known as "Faceless Men") are secretive intermediaries between the Assassins' Guild and those who would hire their services. They may be whispered of in Darkside on occasion, but very few actually know anything about them. Most of the Faceless Ones do not actually perform assassinations themselves, but there may be some who prefer a more "hands-on" approach. It is quite probable that they have magic users in their ranks (or have some in their employ), for the most noteworthy feature of the Faceless Ones is just how frustratingly hard it is to make out any details of their faces. Anyone who attempts to describe a Faceless One is bound to recall nothing so much as a blur where the face should have been.
