Is that the face of a Master? (I'm referring to the icon for Direful Reflection, in case some webcode changes)

From "A Waking Dream of Reflections"; Trade in "Having Recurring Dreams: Is Someone There?" as part of the option "A kind of monster": "A guest waits at the gate of your dreams, like an assassin, a pedlar, a creditor, like an unwanted suitor. Let the Nadir have that guest."; Outcome titled "Lost to sight" ends with "... But you saw its face."

The language used to describe the guest evokes "a master" and all of those roles are facets of The Masters, so perhaps the Direful Reflection of the guest who waits at the gate of your dreams is of that race. This occurs in the Cave of the nadir, under the Forgotten Quarter, where a fog of forgetfulness-inducing Irrigo conceals an ecosystem where the humans who wander in (like yourself) are persuades to use their eyes for the nesting of Lovecraftian horrors. Perhaps only some fraction of those humans ends up as one of the Eyeless Skulls littering the Forgotten Quarter, and another portion go on to have successful careers as Masters of the Bazaar.

As a citizen of Fallen London, does this speculation make you more or less interested in wandering though the Cave of the Nadir?
