The Faceless Man

Character from The Black Company by Glen Cook

One of the Taken — the name says what's wrong with him. Don't look. Killed in the northern wars.

The Faceless Man rounds out the Ten Who Were Taken. His name — like all Taken names — describes his defining feature. He lacks a face in some meaningful way, whether literally or through sorcery, and this absence is apparently disturbing enough to become his identifier. Killed during the northern wars.

Appearance

Has no face, or a face that's wrong, or a face that changes. The specifics vary; the discomfort is consistent. He's the Taken whose appearance is itself a weapon — looking at him is an experience people avoid.
