Uh - this piece of SMEN content I just played seems to be a pretty big, not-very-subtle hint at the identity of the Thief-of-Faces.
(don't click if you don't want to be spoilered - more spoilers follow - read at your own peril)
[spoiler]I re-read the conversation with His Amused Lordship - there isn't anything obvious, but he does remember a lot of the Waltzing Duke's youth - who's a very old man now. If he was a guest at the Duke's balls then, shouldn't he be as old as him now?
Also: "I know why you're here! A colleague of mine mentioned your interest!" Which 'colleague' exactly? Since when do peers of the realm have 'colleagues'?
And finally, of course, his reaction to you talking about Death is pretty suspicious, too - that has been pointed out already, upthread.
Currently, I'd say His Amused Lordship is the Thief-of-Faces. It would also give a pretty compelling reason for his patronage of the Dilmun Club...[/spoiler]

Rupho Schartenhauer has killed a Master, well: most of it.
Cortez the Killer has killed a Master, definitely.
Deepdelver has become the progenitor of London's brightest star. It's... complicated.

I think that's just talking about Spices. Or Veils, but probably Spices. (who stole mr. eaten's 'principle'? wines and spices!)

[spoiler]Eden, it says. Is this the principle the Dilmun Club seeks?[/spoiler]
Having now had a look at some secret recent content, there is of course a different answer possible. Still, how do we know the Thief is always wearing the same face? Seems unlikely - I wouldn't be surprised if we've met it in different guises already!
