Harlequin

Harlequin is the name Lucca granted to a particular fey who, between his mannerisms, dress, and the mask that seems to replace his face, very much resembles one. He has never disputed this title, though other fey have been heard to call him the Alley Lord. Though he superficially appears human or elvish, Harlequin has white skin and hair that shifts length, colour and style to match the mood he's conveying, though it can never be seen actively changing. His mask does the same: its expression changes to convey emotion, never once appearing to move. He never opts to speak, instead using minor illusions to create props, puppets and other items to communicate through mime and show; it was thought that maybe he could not speak, but it was determined that he has every ability to, just that his voice is rough, hoarse and dischordant, and possibly hurts him to use. 
Harlequin is the self-professed lord of the Mirilarin cities in Etheria, claiming rights over the major hubs in Asanon and Yeto. The actual extent and legitimacy of his domain is unknown, but he is certainly an extremely powerful magical being. His abilities to cast spells and work magic appear to be limited only by what people wish of him; in exchange, he collects IOUs, making his influence over mortals and fey both broad and deep.
Harlequin has shown several different forms: besides his usual, human-like appearance, he can also appear as a thin, gangly being with inhuman proportions and a near-featureless mask, or as nothing more than a mask. In this bodiless form, he can exist in Materia for extended periods, something that seems to be outside of his normal power, but in exchange he is bound within the item and must be carried around by a host of sorts. Lucca acted as this host for a period of time.
Harlequin was the being who collected a band of heroes from Arlington to defend the world from the invading All. He accompianied them as they journeyed, helping when it struck his fancy.
