About King Baldwin IV
Baldwin IV of Jerusalem is a young king afflicted by leprosy, concealing his features with a silver mask, gloves, and a veil. His eyes are blue, with a cloudy cataract in his right eye. Underneath, he's missing his nose and part of his upper lip, his face marred by scabs and ulcers. He was once handsome, with only his blond hair remaining. On his left hand, he's missing his middle fingers.
