Goldmask

The Ever-Brillant Goldmask, or simply Goldmask is a supporting character in the 2022 RPG-action video game . He is a wise and legendary scholar and Golden Order fundamentalist of unknown origin, who is well-known for his studies on the Golden Order. 
He travelled to the Lands Between, where he began his researching and studying on the Golden Order's current and imperfect state, leading him to seek to "perfect" the Golden Order and bring true order in his own way. Completing his questline will allow the Tarnished to achieve the Age of Order.
His vocal effects were provided by Ryan Morris.
==Appearance==
Goldmask appears as a slightly tall, thin and gaunt person, with charcoal skin and a golden sun-shaped mask over his face.
==Personality==
Goldmask is an enigmatic individual who is mostly silent (though he often can be heard breathing), and prefers to communicate via body language, such as changing his position to random areas of the Lands Between. As a result, not everyone understands his motives and idealism. Despite this, he is an eminent scholar who seeks to fulfill his idea of a "perfect" Golden Order, believing that its current state and imperfection is the result of the fickleness of the Gods and had come to conclude that they are no better than men.
Because of this conclusion, Goldmask became ambitious in restoring order, by bringing forth his own "perfected" version of the Golden Order, though this led him to lose the support of his loyal disciple Corhyn, who would eventually denounce his own master as a madman and a heretic for his ideologies and suspicion regarding the Golden Order's holism.
==Biography==
Nothing is of Goldmask's origins nor his real name, but what is known is that he is a Tarnished scholar and a staunch fundamentalist of the Golden Order. Having predicted the guidance of grace and being beckoned by it, this led him to travel to the Lands Between to contemplate the Golden Order.
Despite being a Golden Order fundamentalist, Goldmask is opposing towards the hunters who hunt Those Who Live in Death, lamenting of on what they had become that their learnedness had been reduced to fanatical raving, believing that all the good and the great wanted, in their foolishness, was an absolute evil to contend with, which Goldmask believed didn't exist as a concept in the Golden Order.
While he is busy contemplating the Erdtree in Altus Plateau, he was approached by Brother Corhyn, a cleric of the Golden Order, who wished to travel with him, and Corhyn took it upon himself to become the scholar's disciple, such as having to chronicle his wisdom, decipher the meaning of Goldmask's movements, which the latter changes every minute. Reaching Leyndell, Goldmask suddenly became perplexed by the identity of Radagon, a great champion with flowing locks of red hair and the husband of Queen Rennala of the Full Moon, the former ruler of the Academy of Raya Lucaria.
Radagon's existence caused Goldmask to question the principle that Marika is the one true god. Because of he is confounded by this, he ceased all movement and became still. After receiving some help from a Tarnished of no renown, Goldmask learns the revelation that Radagon is Queen Marika herself, as they are in fact a single being and they share the same body as one. Having learned of this truth, Goldmask and Corhyn continued to travel the Lands Between before stopping at the Mountaintops of the Giants.
There, Goldmask suddenly became suspicious regarding the Golden Order's holism, which Corhyn rejects as heresy in his mind. Though he continues his service to Goldmask, he has started to lose faith in his master and even began doubting him. While still doing his service, Corhyn was wracked with doubt.
===Death===
Later, after the Tarnished sets the Erdtree on fire, following their defeat of Maliketh, the Black Blade and releasing of the Rune of Death, Corhyn had now lost faith and he denounced Goldmask as nothing more than a madman who rejects the perfection of the Golden Order and is seeking to replace it with his own "perfected" version of order. Corhyn ultimately lost his mind.
As he had returned to Leyndell while the Erdtree burns, Goldmask discovers a mending rune and apparently modified it based on his transcendental ideology on true order. He eventually died from an unknown cause, possibly because the Rune of Death has been unleashed by the Tarnished. Upon finding his corpse, the tarnished can obtain the Mending Rune of Perfect Order, which can allow them to perfect the Golden Order and fulfill Goldmask's legacy, thus bringing forth the Age of Order.
