THE FATUI HARBINGERS ARE USING MASKED ROLES FROM THEATRE WORK PARTICULARLY Commedia dell'arte,
Il Capitano (The Captain): A self-styled war hero who is actually a massive coward. He brags about his many victories and ladies, but screams and runs at the first sign of danger.
Scaramouche (Scaramuccia): A hybrid role combining the Zanni (servant) and the Capitano. He is a "little skirmisher" who is clever and artistic—often carrying a lute—but he is also a boastful buffoon who is frequently beaten off stage by Harlequin for his cowardice.
Tartaglia: A high-status role (often a lawyer or notary) defined by a severe stutter. His social anxiety and speech impediment provide the "lazzi" (rehearsed comic bits) for his scenes.
Columbina (The Clever Maid): Often the smartest person on stage, she is a sharp-witted servant who facilitates the plot, helps lovers, and outsmarts the older characters. She typically does not wear a mask, allowing for full facial expression.
Arlecchino / Harlequin (The Trickster): A nimble, acrobatic servant in a colorful diamond-patterned suit. He is often hungry and driven by physical needs, alternating between brilliance and idiocy.
Pantalone (The Old Merchant): A wealthy, greedy, and often lecherous old man who serves as the foil or master to the servants. He is frequently the target of pranks.
Pulcinella: A dual-natured character who can be either a master or a servant. He is a cynical self-preservationist, often portrayed with a humpback and a long, hook-nosed mask.
La Signora is a high-status "Vecchi" (elder/master) or "Innamorati" (lover) variant who is often the foil to younger, more innocent female characters. She is always overdressed, adorned with too many jewels, flowers, feathers, and ribbons, and wears heavy makeup.
Sandrone He is a clever, crude, and cunning peasant who acts as a spokesman for the humble, ill-treated commoners. He is often hungry and uses tricks to make ends meet.
