The Front Man

Appareance description (As the leader)

The Front Man is a man of slim build and average-tall height, whose presence is intensified by his air of mystery and authority. He always wears an impeccable black suit, which gives him a sophisticated and professional look. His face is hidden behind a dark-colored geometric mask, designed with sharp lines that accentuate his intimidating and enigmatic aura. The mask completely covers his face, leaving only his eyes partially visible, which reinforces his anonymity and dehumanizes him to those who observe him. His posture is straight and controlled, reflecting a methodical and dominant personality. Even his movements, which are calculated and silent, seem designed to convey a mix of elegance and danger.

Appareance description (As a player)

As a player, the Front Man leaves behind his authoritarian outfit and adopts the standard uniform of the participants: a dark green tracksuit with white stripes, marked with the 001 number on the chest and back. This change camouflages him perfectly among the others, eliminating any hint of his position of power. Without his distinctive mask, he reveals his serious and expressive face, with marked features that denote experience and a life full of difficult decisions. His dark hair, styled simply, reflects his intention to go unnoticed. Although he looks like any other gamer on the surface, his cold and calculating gaze betrays his true nature, showing that his presence in the games has a much deeper purpose than simply surviving.
