Mask Maker

"A wonderful thing to have, a face. Not a thing with which we all are blessed. For this kingdom's faceless, I shall provide."

- Mask Maker

Mask Maker is an NPC in Hollow Knight. They provide lore on masks and on Hallownest's history.

Lore Mask Maker provides "faces" for the faceless of the Kingdom. They compare a mask to a face and believe that a face is needed to define, to focus, and to exist.

While they say that they provide masks for the Kingdom, none of the masks which can be seen in their room correspond to the head of any bug found in Hallownest. Mask Maker comments on this, claiming that in Hallownest it is difficult to decipher whether a bug's face is a mask or their actual face.

Mask Maker knows about the Vessel corpses sealed in the Abyss and about the ancient caste's attempts at ruling the entirety of Hallownest. They also have knowledge of the Knight's Void nature.

In-game events 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 themself and frantically working on simultaneously carving and painting more masks. Upon entering the room, Mask Maker has a chance of wearing one of three different masks.

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

Location Mask Maker is found in the northwest part of Deepnest.
