The four Upper Senators of the Eternal Night Council each wore a red mask.
The style of the masks was somewhat similar to the black ones worn by the contaminated soldiers, only more exquisite, with more intricate patterns.
The masks were made from the material of an alien insect hive. The insects within the hive were ranked by color: black was the lowest tier, white was medium, and red was the highest.
The Eternal Night Council used these masks to implement a hierarchical system of spiritual control, controlling the contaminated soldiers layer by layer.
Otherwise, no single person would have enough Spiritual Power to control several thousand contaminated soldiers alone.
The color of the masks was not dyed on. In fact, the masks could not be dyed at all; their colors were natural.
Of the four senators, one was fat and three were thin; three were men, and one was a woman.
The four of them stood around Moon, the Vice-Councilor of the Eternal Night Council.
