Mask Maker

The Mask Maker is found in the northwest corner of Deepnest. They sit behind a desk surrounded by masks of all shapes and sizes, mumbling to themselves and frantically working on simultaneously carving and painting more masks.

They compare a mask to a face and say that a face is needed to define, to focus, and to exist. While they say that they will provide "for this kingdom’s faceless", there are very few bugs who are confirmed to be wearing masks. Moreover, none of the masks which can be seen in their room correspond to the head of any bug found in Hallownest. Mask Maker also comments on this, claiming that in Hallownest it is difficult to decipher whether a bug’s face is a mask or their actual face.

Performing Desolate Dive or Descending Dark on them reveals a grey face with swirling eyes. However, Mask Maker mentions that this face may simply be "another mask".

Trivia

 * Upon entering the room, the Mask Maker has a chance of wearing one of three different masks.
