Iron Mask for G8M
This Iron Mask is based both on the design in the 3 Musketeers film The Man In The Iron Mask and on an actual historical figure whose true identity has been debated for centuries.
The Man in the Iron Mask, who died November 19th 1703, was an unidentified prisoner of state during the reign of King Louis XIV of France (1643–1715). Warranted for arrest on July 28th 1669 under the pseudonym "Eustache Dauger", he was incarcerated in August of the same year and imprisoned for 34 years in the custody of jailer Bénigne Dauvergne de Saint-Mars, in four successive French prisons (including the Bastille!) When he died, his burial certificate bore the pseudonym that convinced some historians that he was a missing diplomat, however his true identity remains a mystery. It has been extensively debated, and various theories have been put forth in numerous books, articles, poems, plays, and films. One proposed by the French philosopher and writer Voltaire, claimed in Questions sur l'Encyclopédie (1771, 2nd edition) that the prisoner was an older, illegitimate brother of Louis XIV. This assertion has been echoed multiple times since by authors who proposed variants of this theory.
The Man in the Iron Mask has been the subject of many works of fiction; In the film this model is based on, the man is portrayed as Louis XIV's identical twin, imprisoned and forced to wear an iron mask.
What is included:

Usage Tips or Limitations:
The Iron mask is made in two variants. The first one is conformer, AKA a wardrobe item which supports character head morphs and/or expressions, but on higher settings can be deformed by said morphs. The other is the ERC figure, which is parented to the selected character's head (It comes with ERC controls for opening the rear parts.) This version does not support morphs, instead maintaining the same shape and expression. With use of some morphs or expressions, you might need to scale the mask up so it will fit, Character features or expressions will not be visible under the mask (which, in my opinion improves realism!) There are three surfaces on which you can apply any of the six texture variants independently of each other.
