Fals-Semblance is a master of disguises, able to look like anybody he pleases. He is the son of Guile and Hypocrisy. However, he most often appears as an itinerant priest or hermit who preaches poverty and chastity. However, beneath this holy exterior, Fals-Semblance is corrupt, winking at sin in exchange for a hefty penance, refusing to give "spiritual help" to poor people and using his worldly power to bring down those who speak against him. Fals-Semblance has a certain comic air to him, thanks to his brazen acknowledgment that he is a rogue, a hypocrite, and a fraud.
