Bauta

Information	Information
Appearances	Abyss Odyssey
The Bautas are Venetian men wearing grotesque masks and black capes. They are forbidden from wielding blades, for their concealed face might grant them the ability to assassinate their fellow man without being identified. The Warlock dreamt of a bauta wielding a poison-tipped dagger and possessed murderous intent. As he approached the Warlock, the bauta's cape blocked out the sky until, soon after, all went dark. The Warlock wrote that he will never forget the pain of waking up to the cold, sharp steel tip of his dagger.

== Notes ==
The Bauta is one of the fastest and most agile characters in the game. He can move around the field remarkably fast and several of his moves actually involve him moving to increase the range, before moving back to avoid getting countered. For these reasons, despite his average health, the Bauta is easily an upper-tier character when wielded by someone experienced.
== Trivia ==
* The Bauta wields his sword in a stance known as the Hanging Point, allowing for unconventional but very effective offensive strikes and defensive maneuvers.
* The Bauta Mask is a mask traditionally worn at the Carnival of Venice.
