The Choir is a Mourner form twice the height of a Mourner, ringed by Mourners. It shares EXT-03's designation because it came through the same overlap. Classification by origin says nothing about whether it is the same kind of thing.
Its rule is that recognition by any member of the group is treated by every member as recognition. Centring its face in view sets off every Mourner near it at once, and the Choir charges.
The face
Its face is both where it is weak and what sets it off. The Mourner punishes looking closely. The Choir has to be looked at to be hurt. A wound from in front of its face lands guarded, while one from the side or behind lands whole, and at each quarter of its integrity it turns to face the operative.
