A hood used by the Hidden Ones

A hood is a type of headwear that covers the top and sides of the head but leaves the face open. Often an extension of a wider apparel, it is normally draped around the neck, hanging to the back, and worn by being pulled up and around the head from behind. The simple garment has an extensive history across human civilization owing to its basic utility in protection against the elements.

Although the hood leaves the face largely exposed, it can also serve as a means of shrouding one's identity to an extent. The Assassins, known for their unparalleled expertise in stealth operations, has a long tradition of donning hoods to lessen their profile in public. The hood was so central to Assassin attire that it quickly became a signature feature of their uniform, a recurring element that persisted throughout the ages and across disparate cultures even as fashion trends evolved continuously. The universal design standard of the Assassin hood was for it to be shaped into a beak at the top in homage to their mascot, the eagle.
