Veiled Priests, known in Japanese as Kao o kakushita guuji (Priest with hidden face), are hostile male spirits in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. Revered in All God's Village as the religious authorities, the veiled priests represented the four main families in the village's ceremonies and rituals. The veiled priests were charged with protecting the Twin Shrine Maidens and guarding sacred areas of the village, and they continued to uphold the village's spiritual customs even after death. They often attack Mio Amakura during her search for her sister and her investigation of the village's deepest, darkest rituals.
