text: who is the guy behind the mask in v for vendetta?is it his real face or a mask? i've seen pictures of the comic book and thought that it was the main charater's real face.now i see the movie clips and it appears to be a mask.who is the man behind the mask?does he have a secret idenity or does he really look that way? you never see him unmasked, as he tells evie "that's not who i am."  in the flashbacks they show he was burned horribly in the fire at the "camp", and evie sees his hands as he cooks breakfast for her.
