INTRODUCTION:
Resist. Your enemies. Your fate.
“The Mask” gives power to those who wear it.
At times that means endless possibility, or unimaginable tragedy—.
Peru, pupil of the legendary mask maker Gaston Roux, becomes controlled by the “Mask of the Warrior God” he happens to pick up, and unintentionally kills his friends and even his own master.
In order to prevent this type of tragedy from reoccurring, Peru swears to destroy all of Gaston’s masks that are spread around the world. Confronting the sins that he has committed, he embarks on his voyage.
