Im sure many assassins have noticed that only female characters are shown with their face covered when wearing the shrouded cowl. I think this is kind of odd especially since i found an item called MASKLESS shrouded cowl, which would indicate the standard shrouded cowl should be MASKED, right?

Does shrouded have something to do with an enchant ? lol

Maybe it's a glitch or masks were dedicated to females only, nobody really knows...

its the dark brotherhoods (assassin guild) headpiece for their armor set
