On his face it's attached one of his many masks, hiding his true identity behind it.

The Laughing Rogue:

Personality: A carefree individual, he attempts to make the most out of life while dealing with things as they come. We will all die someday, no need to rush it after all. During social interactions he carries himself with a smile, and upbeat personality. He does not hesitate to make jokes when it feels appropriate to do so, be it slapstick or puns, as he is very passionate and dedicated to his arts and crafts. While not open about it, Archibald is disdainful of authority or similar figures, be it religious or political as they are "too serious" for his tastes. Additionally, he fancies himself as a trickster, plotting pranks or plots to cause annoyance or pain to his victims.

Storytelling is also another hobby of his, after the Eternal Divide happened he fears much of the past has or will be lost, he sees it as his goal and duty to collect and preserve the myths of old and the history of the human race. It's important to note that he is pragmatic, cheating is just as valid as any other tactic.

Once he becomes the Laughing Rogue, his jokes and trickster nature are cranked up to eleven and take a more malicious direction, some would say even psychotic. His mad laughter echoes as battles rage on and delivers one liners with sadistic glee as the enemies fall.

As long as the Dagger can't use skills when shifted into a mask, I'm fine with it.
