Seelenladungen erhält er, wenn Helden in seiner Nähe eine gewisse Menge an Schaden erleiden. Visages passive Fähigkeit Gravekeeper's Cloak erhöht seine Resistenz gegen physischen und magischen Schaden. Diese Resistenz besitzt Instanzen, die bei Angriffen verloren gehen und wieder regeneriert werden müssen. Mit seinem Ultimate kann Visage zwei bzw. mit Aghanim's Scepter drei Familiars beschwören, die an seiner Seite kämpfen. Diese sind nicht nur fast vollständig gegen Magie immun, sondern können gegnerischere Einheiten mit ihrer Fähigkeit Stone Form betäuben, indem sie sich in Stein verwandeln. In dieser Situation sind sie unverwundbar und heilen sich selbst. Getötete Familiars geben dem Gegner eine Belohnung von 100 Gold. Auch wenn die Familiars eine sehr große Resistenz gegen Magie haben, besitzt Visage mit einer Basismagieresistenz von 10% eine überdurchschnittliche Schwäche gegenüber Magie.
- "So I had that dream again." "Hmm? Which one?" The spartan was busy assembling his rifle, only half listening. William frowned and continued. "Oh you know, the one involving an evil coffee conspiracy perpetrated by the devil.." Davi looked up momentarily, a grin on his face visible even through the MJOLNIR helmet. "Oh! Now I know, the one with floating baby bits in the coffee mug right?" "Bingo" Will replied, happy with his partners attention. Davi continued on with his task. "Heh, yeah that one always makes me crack up. You're a fucked up dude, Will. You know that right?" "I guess I'm just a product of my parents, Davi." William crept closer to the edge of the ridge upon which both Spartans rested. Sliding down the binocular attachment on his helmet, he gazed down into the valley below. There was a commotion, buildings being assembled, troops moving into their formations, supplies being ferried and unloaded. All of it had an alien glow surrounding it, a mixture of purples, blues and greens that made William sick to his stomach. "Too flashy." He thought to himself. None of it was important at the moment, their target was yet to arrive. The other Headhunters were still moving into their respective positions. News had spread quickly about the incident at Ouran-9, too rushed and too faulty. They were taking things slowly this time around. Despite that fact, William was impatient and uneasy, hardly what a spotter needs to be. And so he filled the space, and the seconds, with conversation. "So..." Will began, unable to conjure a topic. Davi finished his project, assembling the remainder of the M99 Stanchion with a satisfying click. "Soo...what?" he said, now focusing on the power supply of the rifle. "Well...spotters..spotting." Will said, shoddily beginning to form a concept. "What about them?" "All this fancy tech we got jammed in our buckets basically makes it pointless, yeah?" Will argued."Add in an A.I., AND the fact that we can literally hook the guns up to our neural lace, AND our uhh..'unique' training. It should make the whole deal extinct right? It's like ONI doesn't trust us to not mess this up." Davi responded sarcastically. "Sounds like a coffee conspiracy." "Ahh go fuck yerself" William presented two middle fingers. Davi started the generator, and the powered section of his rifle softly hummed alive. "There we go darlin!" Davi exclaimed happily. Will retreated from the edge and mocked the tinkerer. "And you say I'm fucked up. At least I don't attach romantic significance towards my gear" "What can I say Willy-boy?" Davi said as he aimed down the rifle's sights, "Nothing gets me harder than laying in the dirt for 6 hours just to put a bullet through some split-chin sonuvabitch 5 kilos away." Will chuckled, and began to unpack his rifle. "Actually it's 4.5 klicks pally." "Naw, I managed to tweak this one a bit, the power output should pump it up a bit." Davi was proud of his handiwork. Four hours had passed since their conversation. Three hours had passed since they'd been set up, their eyes focused in on the encampment below. A single hour had passed since Will's patience had ended. "What the hell is taking RED so long? GRAY, BLUE, KING, and ACE are all set up, so why can't those fuckin' bomb-nuts get ready on time?" "Well you know Sappers William..." Davi began to imitate RED-1 "Woon croossed wire, woon wayward peench ahve yadda yadda yadda ah lost me arrrrm boo hoo" Davi put an emphasis on the r rolling it around in a poor attempt at an Ayshiren accent. "Yeah fuck that guy."

- Founder members Steve Strange and Rusty Egan were hosting club nights at Blitz nightclub in Great Queen Street, London at the time and were eager to find new music to play, ultimately opting to create music themselves. Initially, the band was composed of Strange, Egan and Midge Ure. Ure and Egan began working with Strange during their last days with the band The Rich Kids, with Strange himself being at a loose end after leaving the new wave band The Photons. The trio recorded a demo which included a cover of the Zager and Evans hit "In the Year 2525". The band's line-up was completed with the addition of Ultravox keyboardist Billy Currie and three quarters of the post-punk band Magazine – guitarist John McGeoch, keyboardist Dave Formula and bassist Barry Adamson (who left the band early on after the band's debut single, but returned as a session musician). Producer Martin Rushent had heard some of the band's material at Billy's nightclub and financed further recordings with a view to signing the band to his then-new Genetic Records label. Visage recorded their first album at Rushent's home studio in Berkshire, but Rushent's label collapsed before it had gotten off the ground and the band instead signed to Radar Records, a new independent label run by Rushent's former colleague Martin Davis (the pair had worked together at United Artists Records). Visage released their first single, "Tar", on Radar in September 1979, though the single failed to chart. Although the band's self-titled debut album had been completed for several months, it was not released until November 1980 when the band was now signed to the major label, Polydor Records. The band's second single, "Fade to Grey", was released at the same time. The single became a huge hit in early 1981, making the top ten in the UK and several other countries, and reaching no.1 in Germany and Switzerland. The album also became a Top 20 hit in the UK and was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry. After further hits with the singles "Mind of a Toy" and the title track "Visage", Strange struggled to reunite the band's members again to record a second album because of their commitments with their respective bands (Ure had now joined Currie in Ultravox, Formula and Adamson with Magazine, and McGeoch with Siouxsie and the Banshees). In the autumn of 1981 Visage went into the studio again and recorded The Anvil as a five-piece band without McGeoch and only limited guest work from Adamson. The album was released in March 1982 and became Visage's only UK top-ten album, producing two top-twenty singles with "The Damned Don't Cry" and "Night Train". Like their first album,The Anvil earned a Silver disc in the UK. Following this, Ure left the band to concentrate on his work with Ultravox, who were by now becoming even more successful than Visage were. Creative differences with Strange were also cited as reasons for his departure at the time. Visage, now without Ure, McGeoch and Adamson (who continued collaborating with Pete Shelley, and joined Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) but now with the addition of bassist Steve Barnacle, recorded the stand-alone single "Pleasure Boys", which was released in October 1982. The single failed to prolong their string of hits and peaked just outside the UK top 40. Although still recording, Visage then took a two-year hiatus from releasing any new material due to contractual difficulties with their management company. Polydor issued a "best of" compilation in 1983; Fade to Grey - The Singles Collection which included all of the singles released to date and the previously unreleased "In The Year 2525". Limited quantities of the album were issued with a free "Pleasure Boys" 7" picture disc single, whereas the cassette version of the album featured remixes of the singles. Although the album was certified Gold in the UK for pre-release sales to stores, it only peaked at no.38 after its release in November 1983. In 1984, with their contractual problems resolved, Visage returned for what would be their third and final album to date. Beat Boy was released in October 1984 but was a critical and commercial failure, peaking at No. 79 in the UK. Two singles from the album; "Love Glove" and "Beat Boy" also failed to make the UK top 40. By this time, Billy Currie and Dave Formula had also left the band (though they received a "special thanks" credit on the album sleeve for their input), leaving only Strange and Egan from the original line-up along with newer musicians Steve & Gary Barnacle and Andy Barnett. A decision to make Visage a live band instead of a strictly studio-based project also failed to meet with success and the band split in 1985. Their final release was a Visage VHS video compilation of the band's renowned promotional videos and also included footage of Strange's trip to North Africa the year before. The compilation does not, however, include the original video for the "Love Glove" single which was filmed at a late-night Dockland location in London in 1984. Following the demise of Visage, Strange then formed the short-lived band Strange Cruise. They were signed to EMI and released two singles; these being "Rebel Blue Rocker" and a cover version of Sonny and Cher's hit "And The Beat Goes On". Neither of these singles made the charts. The band also released one album in 1986, though this too proved unsuccessful. Visage returned to the charts once more when a Bassheads remix of "Fade to Grey" was a UK Top 40 hit in 1993.
