The Faceless (顔の無い者, Kao no nai mono) are a group of assassins featured in Saint Seiya: Episode G - Assassin. They claim to have ripped off their faces, abandoning their human identities to become killers. However, Cancer Deathmask explains that they are actually the damned souls killed and gathered in the Cancer House over the ages. They were freed after the Cancer House lost its integrity and entered into a pact with the saints and gladiators of the Lost World. In exchange for their service, they are promised freedom. They are invisible to people that have no cosmo and occasionally act as assassins for the Japanese criminal underground.
