Oh yes, that's why I said it was so obvious as to surely not be the
answer. The problem with the Faceless Man for me was that you don't
obscure your face without a very specific reason. And in books that
reason is usually that we already know who this person is. But there
just really weren't that many viable options of characters we had met
who could plausibly also be Faceless. So David Mellenby popped right
out on that short list. Of course [extended redacted Hanging Tree
commentary about the Faceless Man and facelessness in these books as a
thematic statement] so there's that.
