Scarf of the Discreet Visage

The scarf worn around Ash's neck almost never leaves his side, the bright piece of his attire is finely crafted and the fabric never fades. Woven mostly of natural fibers it contains a single strand of each type of jade as well as a single strand of starmetal. The magic metal is impossibly thin and difficult to notice, the materials give no additional bonus regardless of the exalt's type. In order to reap the benefits of the scarf, the wearer must spend a scene attuning to its essence and commit a single mote of essence. If a mortal wishes to attune to the cloth he must commit a single willpower point and can only benefit from the base powers of the artifact.

When attuned to the scarf the bearer cannot clearly be remembered by anyone who meets him. No one can describe anything about his appearance, dress, or mannerisms. Repeated and prolonged meetings gradually counter this effect, allowing the bearer's family and close companions to remember him clearly. Remembering the bearer after one encounter requires a successful (Intelligence + Awareness) roll at difficulty 3. Repeated or extended contact lower this difficult by 1 per full day spent largely in the wearer's presence, or by 1 for ever three shorter encounters. In almost any case where the bearer is remembered, the brightly colored scarf is almost always one of the first things to come to the persons memory.

As an additional effect, the bearer of the scarf can spend a willpower point to obscure his actions from the loom of fate for a scene. When the bearer spends a willpower point his actions become clouded within the loom of fate and he becomes more difficult to locate in this manner, add the bearers permanent essence to all rolls to detect him using the loom of fate.
