A Faceless is a background from Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. It represents a character who lives a double life, hiding their true identity behind a carefully crafted persona. This allows them to navigate different social spheres, protect their loved ones, or operate in secrecy.

Unlike other backgrounds that define a character’s past profession, the Faceless focuses on identity and deception. The character maintains an alternate persona—whether a masked vigilante, a political agitator, or a secretive agent—allowing them to influence the world while keeping their true self concealed. This background fits spies, outlaws, actors, and anyone with something to hide.

Faceless characters gain proficiency in Deception and Intimidation, enhancing their ability to manipulate and influence others. They also receive a disguise kit and one additional language, making them adept at maintaining their hidden identity. Their unique feature, Dual Personalities, lets them adopt a second persona that people recognize separately from their true self, allowing them to evade consequences, infiltrate groups, or operate in multiple roles unnoticed.

Roleplaying a Faceless introduces intriguing moral and psychological dilemmas. Does the character see their alternate identity as a tool, a mask, or an extension of their true self? Is the deception empowering or a burden? The Faceless fits campaigns involving intrigue, espionage, or rebellion, adding layers of complexity to storytelling.

Whether an elusive assassin, a secret revolutionary, or a hero with a hidden face, the Faceless offers rich storytelling potential. It challenges players to balance their two lives while navigating the dangers of exposure, betrayal, and self-discovery.
