"They bare the mask" I still don't understand, so some random person was just chilling and a mask magically appeared on his face and he now speaks for the traveler? Is there any proof that the speaker (past and present) is with the traveler? Did we see them descend from the traveler, did it shine a light on him saying he's the real deal or something. Because if not thats retarded, people would want proof you represent the speaker and not just blindly accept it.
