"I am a trader of masks and stories, and the makings of an interesting tale indeed."
The Happy Mask Salesman to Blue[2]

The Happy Mask Salesman was a Hylian travelling salesman who encountered Blue, San II, and Dario Nethneth on Drackovack.

History[edit | edit source]

In 150,082 CMT, the Happy Mask Salesman stalked Blue, San II, and Dario Nethneth on Drackovack and noticed that Blue had been cursed with a spell that kept her trapped in the form of a four-legged cat. He revealed his presence to the travellers by starting to play the "Song of Healing" on his organ-piano, which led them to investigate the source of the music and discover him. The Happy Mask Salesman told them that he would remove Blue's curse if they agreed to take him with them in their travels in return. Without waiting for an answer, the Happy Mask Salesman completed the Song of Healing, which expelled the curse from Blue's body and trapped it in the form of a blue "neko mask". The Happy Mask Salesman then replaced the organ with a large mask-filled backpack and made to add the neko mask to his collection,[3] but Blue grabbed and destroyed the mask before he could because she didn't want random chunks of her soul lying around for anyone to find.[4]

Blue was annoyed that the Happy Mask Salesman had acted without her consent, but acknowledged that he had freed her from her curse, so she reluctantly allowed him to tag along.[4] Likewise, the Happy Mask Salesman was annoyed that Blue had destroyed a mask that could have been worth "20 rupees from a desperate thief", but dismissed it and introduced himself as a "trader of masks and stories, and the makings of an interesting tale indeed".[5] Blue snapped at the Happy Mask Salesman and accused him of being a thief himself because he had tried to take the mask that came from her,[2] but was then distracted by the presence of a rockfall that blocked their path.[6] The Happy Mask Salesman remained silent and unnoticed until after San had cleared a path through the rocks, when he speculated that the path ahead could have seemed suspicious because someone was waiting for them. He then produced a mask in his hands which seemed to have been designed to resemble a rock, but it was so inconspicuous that it remained unnoticed by everyone else.[7]

The travellers eventually arrived at Jackieranda and Elric's cottage,[8] which the Happy Mask Salesman followed the others into. He complimented its occupants on their lovely home[9] and made himself a cup of tea.[10] He then seemed to disappear and all characters present forgot about him, because he was not seen or mentioned again.

Abilities & Powers[edit | edit source]

  • Song of Healing: The Happy Mask Salesman had the ability to expel curses from characters' souls and convert the disembodied curses into masks by playing a "Song of Healing" on a gigantic organ-like instrument that he brought with him wherever he travelled. He attempted to add the resulting masks to his collection whenever possible, but was prevented from doing so on at least one occasion by Blue.
  • Unidentified Relocation Ability: The Happy Mask Salesman had an unidentified ability to move or replace objects near his person without touching them, such as his organ and backpack.
