"Oh its just a drangonbo- PARRY THE DRAGONBORN!?"

[_Chaosnight_]

"Oh the weird hat guy is back"

*Everyone in Cyrodil starts sweating profusely*

[trevorphillips]

The thing is this hat is known for making memories disapear. The wearer will be forgotten. There is a guy in the Guild that searches his father and even hires people. The thing the detective said: "Its like he eraised himself from history. Nothing"

[Need_A_New_Game]

In oblivion it's explained that the cowl basically erases your existence from everyone's memories when it's put on it originally had a curse so it couldn't be removed but oblivion protagonist breaks it

[redwind]

Guard be angry because you have more style points.

"You're wanted dead or alive Gray Fox" - Oblivion Guards

[darkmetal]

Gray Cowl is low key super fun to use, putting aside that Guards(And Orcs in strongholds weirdly enough) attack on site it's basically better than Detect Life

[duplicitouscanadian]

The Grey Cowl wipes the wearer from history, utterly. The people don't know what the Grey Cowl means but the guards know it as the symbol of the greatest thief in existence.

[fabiocosta]

On Oblivion the cowl also makes everyone think you are the Greyfox, and gives you 500 infamy. The cowl is the perfect disguise, so as long as you do crimes with it, you get infamy as Greyfox. But, if you take it off, you have the exact fame you had before putting it on.
I did most of the dark brotherhood questline with it, just because i love to use the armor of the nine and have no patience to do the full pilgrimage again just to remove infamy.

[nexusinc.]

They recognize who you are but the memory of tour identity slowly slips away. Thats what the book says

[samdavis]

The Grey Fox was a prominent thief of legend in Tamriel, so I guess it is kinda surprising that he wouldn't be known in Skyrim but also not surprising due to the fact that it's 200 years later.

[JoeByrds]

The guards don't seem to mind when Cicero is wearing the Cowl but the moment that 'Ol Dragonborn wears it, they always remind you to reload your last save!

[classyrobot]

The Cowl no longer has the curse of Nocturnal on it, since Oblivion's Thieves Guild questline. But, if everyone in Skyrim doesnt recognize the Cowl except for guards, how the hell do the guards know? If the guards know, how come the villagers and townsfolk dont?

[inarisarp]

I remember putting that thing on in Oblivion. It turned all the guards hostile as well so theyd attack you, and then the townsfolk would start fighting the guards on your behalf and chaos ensued 😂

[sidewalk]

Thats pretty close to how it actually works in lore

[pluckybellhop]

The disappointing thing about it being from creation club is we'll never hear people respond to you wearing it.

[necessaryevile]

Idda killed that man just to steal his hat...would never wear it...just gotta steal everything lmao

[Realkiroker]

The number 1 ugliest artefact known to man. Like it looks cool and all on the statue you find at Mercer’s house, but how in gods name that thing is supposed to not make you the centre of attention, I don’t know.

[maxaffleck]

Not even headcanon. That is how it works
