(Character) Masquerade

[OctoberRaven]

Fred Young always wanted to be in movies. Unfortunately, nobody wanted someone with a face that looked like a car crash starring in a motion picture. He had to settle for being a costume artist, something he was very good at.

 

Eventually, though, his employer, Dreammaking Studios, closed down. When he found out that his girlfriend (the only person who, he thought, loved him) was sleeping with someone else behind his back, he left Hollywood in greif and went to Hudson City.

 

Eventually he was 'discovered' by the Mafia, who offered him a small fortune in exchange for his services. Being a master of disguise, he could infiltrate almost any area, and this made for a valuable spy and assasin.

 

His ability to change his appearance is so impeccable he can even alter his COM with his One Thousand Different Faces power, turning him from a very ugly individual to a handsome gentleman. He has several different aliases which he uses as covers, making him a difficult foe to track.

 

He is not a combatant by nature, and rarely brings firearms with him unless he knows he is going to kill someone. When he does, he carries a Luger P-08 with him, which is a 'calling card' for the man now known as Masquerade, Master of a Thousand Disguises.
