Moth

Moth was once a carnival illusionist named Marcus who specialized in sensory deprivation acts, until the night a patron—who was far more than human—attended his show and became obsessed with his work on perception and blindness. The entity offered Marcus a "gift" of true sight beyond mortal understanding, but the transformation was agonizing and incomplete; his eyes were consumed from within by something vast and incomprehensible, leaving only ragged voids in their wake. Desperate to hide his transformation and the whispers that now echo through those empty sockets, Marcus fashioned the bone-white mask from his mother's burial remains, finding that the mask somehow dampens the entity's influence just enough to let him think his own thoughts. He discovered he could move through shadows with preternatural grace and slip through locks as if they were suggestions rather than barriers, abilities granted by his hybrid nature but not fully under his control. Now he operates as a rogue for hire, taking contracts that feed the strange hunger growing inside him while searching for a way to complete or reverse the transformation—though he can no longer remember which outcome he actually wants. The other thieves in the underworld call him Moth because he's drawn to the light of secrets and burns through them indiscriminately, leaving only ash and confusion in his wake. His voice, when he speaks, sounds like something trying to remember how humans communicate, filtered through layers of reality that were never meant to touch.
