The Faceless Men practice extreme self-abnegation, each devotee believing that they are "no one," with no personal desires, and living only to serve the Many-Faced God. In their at times inscrutable beliefs, they feel that they are only helping to carry out Death's will, and cannot choose their own targets (for personal reasons, such as revenge): they can only target those whom death has selected - the targets of assassination contracts they have accepted. As a result, these assassins view themselves as Death's servants, strictly bound to His service. The Faceless Men see death as a gift from the Many-Faced God to end human suffering: either to euthanize the sick or bereaved who can no longer stand the suffering of living, or as a "gift" to end the lives of those who are causing suffering to others. Īnother statue of the Stranger from the Faith of the Seven - believed by the Faceless Men to be yet another incarnation of the Many-Faced God. Icons from lesser religions and cults are also honored in the House of Black and White, including the Hooded Wayfarer, Bakkalon the Pale Child, the Moon-Pale Maiden, the Merling King, and many others.
