Lieden

This article contains spoilers. Read this at your own risk.

**Lieden Angstrom** (also known as **Mister Death** and **Harpyface**) is a plot-significant character who is a deuteragonist and minor antagonist of Frail Faces, a notorious killer, who was responsible for war crimes during the Middle War Conflict and fled to Wortelm, where he continued his tyranny. Despite the fact that Lieden is mostly paralyzed, he is an extraordinary human who has several powers at once, which completely compensate his lack of mobility and speech. Many Wortan masks tried to stop him, and this often ended fatal for them.

## History

### During the Great Havoc

Once Lacuna arrived, Lieden attempted to single-handedly destroy it, but was defeated. Desperate Lieden told Lacuna about the existence of powerful people and beings that could pose a threat for Lacuna. Since Lieden had to deal with masks and he knows about the weaknesses of each of them, he offered Lacuna to become its jailer and catch every mask, to which it agreed. Lieden realized that he had no interest in living in the world destroyed by Lacuna, and when he will finish his job, it would get rid of him as the most significant threat, so Lieden secretly came up with a plan. For six hours after the Great Havoc, Lieden defeated most of the masks and imprisoned them in the prisons created by his power, feeding the keys to void fiends.

### Frail Faces

In order for his plan to work, Lieden needed a man who was strong and who didn't know about his dreadful reputation, and he had one in mind. He went to the outskirts of Wortelm to find one of the survived mask wearers,  Iance. At the beginning of the game, Lieden finds him and brings him up to speed on the case, hoping that he will become a savior who will gather a squad of surviving masks who will follow him, and they will be able to defeat Lacuna.

## Additional Values

### Weight

In most cases, the player will have to fight Lieden at 7-1. Lieden is a rather dangerous and smart opponent, but like all masks, Lieden can be defeated in a couple of hits. Instead of a health bar like the rest of the bosses, Lieden's bar is his energy, which he uses to activate his abilities. Lieden's energy is being restored all the time, and the less the amount of energy, the faster it is restored. As long as Lieden's energy bar is above 100%, a successful hit will not kill him, but will stun and completely deprive him of energy, at this moment Lieden is completely vulnerable.

**Lieden the Harpyface** is one of the most powerful masks in the game. Lieden possesses an innate artifact that, when receiving damage, takes away all energy, instead of losing the mask if the energy is more than 100%. For this reason, Lieden is the most survivable mask in the game. Due to his ability, Lieden cannot receive energy from attacks, but he quickly regenerates it. To unlock Lieden as a playable character, you will have to complete the game as  Iance without picking up any other masks. Upon successful completion of this challenge, Lieden will meet you at 7-1 and give you his mask, if you defeat Lacuna with his mask, you will unlock Lieden Mode, which allows you to play as Lieden from the very beginning of the run.
