Overview

The Mirage Pavilion Master always wears a mask — and the true face beneath it is the game's most closely guarded secret. As the leader of the most powerful intelligence network in the empire, the Pavilion Master operates outside all factions, selling information to the highest bidder and manipulating events from the shadows. Their INTJ personality manifests as infinite patience and terrifying strategic depth.

Route Strategy

The Mirage Pavilion Master cannot be allied with in the traditional sense — you can only negotiate temporary arrangements. Their true identity, when revealed, reframes the entire story. The reveal is foreshadowed across multiple chapters, but most players miss the clues on their first playthrough.
