Mask of V

Description

V is a mysterious anarchist vigilante and freedom fighter, easily recognizable by his Guy Fawkes mask and dark clothing. V’s true identity is a mystery, and he visibly removes his mask only once during the entire story.

The mask you see worn at Anonymous protests is called a Guy Fawkes mask, so named for a seventeenth-century Briton who infamously attempted to bomb the House of Lords. He was planning to assassinate King James I so that his Catholic daughter could ascend to the throne.
