Those who see it are compelled to join in the performance and both daemon and mortal alike are compelled to join the show. When dancing the Masque enchants all who watch with the mesmerising rhythm of their movements and depending the glorious tale of Slaanesh being enacted the Herald’s golden mask changes to match the roles of the characters being played. The Masque was condemned as a traitor and Slaanesh weaved a curse that caused the Masque to dance forever. Seeing the dark mood of their master, the Masque tried to ease his heart with their most energetic and scintillating dance but Slaanesh only saw mockery and became enraged. However during the Great Game Tzeentch tricked Slaanesh into an unwinnable battle against both Khorne and Nurgle that resulted in his defeat and humiliation. The Masque once served as the chief attendant of Slaanesh and when Slaanesh was grim the Masque would dance to lighten his thoughts with the most dazzling of acrobatic displays.

The Masque is a Herald of Slaanesh that was the former chief attendant of Slaanesh but now cast out and cursed to dance for eternity.
