masked figure
Anonymous concealed person
A masked figure is a person whose face is concealed, typically by a mask or covering.
The phrase appears most often in descriptions of crimes, horror films, or mysterious encounters: A masked figure emerged from the shadows.
The concealment implies threat, anonymity, or ritual significance—someone whose identity matters precisely because it's hidden.
