Everyone's heard of the mask of the third man, right? That Bladedancer mask that looks like a splinter cell mask and a hive face mixed together? Well it's actually got a creepy background The description says [i]"it wasn't me. It was [b]the third man[/b]"[/i]. The third man is a phenomenon currently experienced in modern day. When people are far from the rest of humanity, for example climbing a mountain far from anyone apart from their climbing group, they begin to experience a feeling that someone (or something) else is there. They hear breathing that isn't theirs, or their groups'. They see footprints that aren't theirs and see things done that they didn't do. The thing is is that the people that have experienced this were often fully healthy and had no real issues, mentally or physically. The phenomenon was named after a line in a poem that tells of two men hiking through a mountain (I forget which one) and says "who is the third man who walks beside you, for when I count I see only me and you" (or something. It's not the most precise quote) The creepy thing is that the mask of the third man claims that the third man has turned from an observing and apparently benevolent spirit to a mass murderer, as the mask claims that whatever the wielder did wasn't the wielder. It was the third man. As a result, it's suggesting that the third man is bored with observing and wants to interact. The mask is used for killing. So the third man, an entity we cannot see and fight, is now a killer. Just thought that was creepy. [b]TL;DR: the mask of the third man is named after a previously benevolent spirit that has now turned to killing[/b]
