The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Harlequin]] Company. Known as tricksters, manipulators, and riddle-smiths, the Veiled Path are capricious even by Harlequin standards. Other Harlequins see them as dangerously untrustworthy, for they have been the architect of countless atrocitietsatrocities. It was they, for example, who sent one of their number to manipulate [[Prince Yriel]] into taking up the [[Spear of Twilight]]. It was the Veiled Path who indirectly set [[Lady Malys]] upon the road for her strange encounter in the [[Webway]] and the bond with the [[Laughing God]] that resulted.{{Fn|1}}

[[Image:VeiledPath.jpg|thumb|right|Warrior and rune of the {{PAGENAME}}]]
The Masque's battles and performances are hallucinogenic tangles of double-meaning and mirage. It is not unknown for spectators or allies to vanish without a trace, and the Veiled Path has betrayed pacts without number. But far from being repugnant of their deeds, they seem to take a malicious glee in their treachery.{{Fn|1}}
The Masque has recently become heavily involved in [[Imperial]] affairs at the behest of [[Eldrad Ulthran]], aiding mankind in the closing stages of the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] and helping in the revival of [[Roboute Guilliman]].{{Fn|3}}
The Masque of the Veiled Path later organised a wake for the recently assassinated Overlord of [[Commorragh]], [[Asdrubael Vect]], but the entire affair proved a trap to resurrect the [[Archon]] with new power.{{Fn|4}}
