    That could just be what he wears when he goes on super secret missions or something and the Grail put him in his prime so he constantly wears it.

    Oh and I remember a mention in FSN saying that all Hassan's grind their face's down or something.

    Well they didn't all come from rome. Anyone could come under the "holy" banner of the crusade.

    Well, they brought it up again in Zero Material, too, when they were talking about the female Assassin. Like "that's what she would look like under the mask if she had a face (but she doesn't because Hassans don't have faces, right?)"

    And then they showed chibi Hassan clearly having a face.

    Yeah the HGW hassans don't have them to reflect that they have no metaphorical face (face is a metaphor for personality right?)

    They don't have literal faces, which is metaphorical. What is a metaphorical face?

    Personality so yeah that. The no face thing = no personality in life or in grail summoning.

    Why are you pretending that Hassans have no personality?

    Zero Assassin probably has the most personality out of anyone in the entire Nasuverse!

    Isn't sad how Zero Hassan main schtick of having many skills was stolen by Chiron?

    Poor dude/dudette can't catch a break.

    My understanding is that all Hassans grind their face so they can wear whatever disguide they want completely changing their facial structure and shit.

    Heres a question about Zero Hassan Zabaniya. So did him history wise have the ability to divide his multiple personalities in many bodies, or was that just the Holy Grail going all nuts at him having multiple personalities?

    That's the whole point of all the Hassans though. They all got subsumed into the original's identity.
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

    Fate/Zero material - Encyclopedia: Hundred-Faced Hassan [Servant], p.103
    Hundred-Faced Hassan [Servant]
    The Assassin Heroic Spirit who participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War. One of the "Old Man of the Mountain" amongst the generations of Hassan-i Sabbah.
    He was an exception in Hassans, as he did not undergo the body modification called "Zabaniya". Instead, he took advantage of his affliction of Multiple Personality Disorder and acted as an assassin without a true identity.
    When summoned as a spiritual entity and emerged as a Servant, segments of his compartmentalized soul each materialized as an individual. However, due to the potential of the spirit being only that of one person, the abilities of the Assassins produced by the division were extremely low, reaching the nadir of the capabilities of Servants.
    In addition, each personality has his strengths and weaknesses. Among them, there are impatient glory-hounds who ignore orders like fools, and individuals who are terrible at ambushes despite being assassins. However, if one can comprehend their characteristics and apply their skills in the right situations, the Hundred-Faced Hassan can be a very dangerous Servant. Unfortunately, because his Master had no intention of winning the war, he was damned to the fate of a voyeur.

    I guess Zealot really did scare the fuck out of everyone, but with her having all the Zabaniyas, i can't help but think 100 Faced Hassan was a pretty lackluster dude having only multiple personalities
