So I've become eager to know the significance behind the rake's mask. I don't exactly know what to type in a search engine to look into it ("small masquerade eyemask" doesn't ring any bells on Google,) yet it's such an iconic symbol that I can't believe I don't know more about it.
Anyways, my question is why did CA choose to have our rakes wear them? They certainly carry on the flavor of quirky, yet sinister charm that these times are so abundant with, yet don't immediatly seem fitting on a character that is essentially a military spy, and that just bugs me. Perhaps it was simply for the sake of making the UI more friendly- so that a rake's portrait is more recognizable from the crowd?
