Mask is the calculating, mysterious god of shadows, thievery and thieves in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons and Dragons setting - created by Ed Greenwood.
Mask is a Neutral Evil Lesser Power whose symbol is a black velvet mask tinged with red. His divine realm is Shadow Keep in the Plane of Shadow, and his Third Edition AD&D domains are Darkness, Evil, Luck, and Trickery.
History
During the Time of Troubles, Mask—as the sword Godsbane—was caught up in the plots of Cyric and was used to help kill Bhaal. He was stripped of his portfolio element of intrigue by the upstart Mad God, which he eventually regained.
Relationships
Mask himself doesn't tend to make enemies—excepting Cyric—however, it is his nature to oppose Waukeen and Helm, and he has earned the enmity of Shar, Deneir, Oghma, Torm, Tyr, Selūne, and—worst of all—the entity known as Kezef the Chaos Hound, who pursued the Lord of Shadows during the Time of Troubles, but who Mask managed to get off his trail by acquiring a magic sword called Houndsbane.
