== Powers and Abilities ==
'''Mask Manifestation:''' Sophridel can incorporate masks worn by people or creatures into himself. If they wore the mask often enough, he can recreate their personality, preferences, everything they were. This allows him to assume their likeness and recall their knowledge. After a long enough time, he can detach those masks from himself to materialize the being it represents. The effect is diluted if multiple people wore the same mask. If the mask is broken, it is lost forever.<ref name=":0" />

'''Multiple Bodies:''' Sophridel can send his masks, his other selves, to do different things simultaneously.<ref name=":0" />

'''Spellcasting:''' He's described as a superlative magical caster.<ref name=":1" />
