The Troupe Master is the lead performer and battle-leader of a Harlequin Troupe, a warrior-dancer whose mastery of the killing arts borders upon the divine. Where every Player is deadly, the Troupe Master is peerless, weaving through storms of fire untouched while dealing death with embrace, caress and blade. In the great performances that are the Harlequins' reason for being, it is the Troupe Master who takes the central role, and in battle that same authority becomes flawless, lethal choreography, each strike and pirouette timed to leave a trail of the slain. They bear the finest wargear the Masque can provide, from power weapons to the fabled Harlequin's Kiss, and their holo-suits scatter their forms into shards of rainbow light. To face a Troupe Master is to duel a living work of art, beautiful and wholly without mercy, for whom your death is merely the final flourish of the dance.
