Harlequins are rarely missed in a crowd. They always wear a white mask, though what the mask looks like differs from individual to individual (clown, drama, devil, featureless). They are never seen without one of these mask on, though some seem to change them in the dramas they portray, but always in a way that there faces are hidden. There are many stories about a harlequin returning to their home town and righting some wrong and no one knew that it was them other than an old lover or family member.
