A large man who wears an ornate armour made of finely engraved golden plates and multiple layers of flowing silks. At least one villain has mocked him for looking like a human Fabergé egg. His mask looks like a solid gold butterfly resting on his face, allowing him to look out through eyeholes on its wings.
He is widely (and incorrectly) known as one of the least effective masks guarding Hope City. His power is to speak the language of butterflies, which doesn't sound too useful. But they are very good for surveillance, and when he calls on a swarm of thousands (especially the giant reds from his home country, that can carry weights up to ⅐oz each), they can transport significant quantities of drugs or explosives to where they'd be most useful.
Appearance
From chapter 4:
a man in an outfit of interlocking golden plates shaped like leaves, a mask in the shape of a butterfly, and a scarlet cape fluttering from his shoulders.
Chapter 11, when he's loosened the armour enough to make his day clothes visible beneath:
“Had a rough night, my friend?” the voice had an unfamiliar accent, maybe reminiscent of some African kingdom, but tempered with overtones of European nobility. A voice that had travelled, and an olive skinned man dressed in what appeared to be interleaved plates of metal foil. The odd outfit was open at the collar, where interleaved tiles of metal just revealed a silk shirt with the top button loose, and a dark green college tie pulled loose.
