just think about it. It wasn't that long since Ala Mihgo fell, at least not compared to the 1000 year war that Ishgard has been having. Yet here they are, welcomed back into the alliance. the "ease of liberating Ishgard" from its longstanding conflict might have caused some resentment among the refugees, who might consider getting Eorzea forced into retaking Ala Mihgo by other means. Being a person of some authority among the refugees, he would also have need of a disguise to maintain credibility, or Ala Mihgo and its people would just be left to the dogs(if they haven't already).
How he could have any autority if everyone knows he killed one of his country men? Thats probably why he needs a mask, to avoid any recognicion. Every Ala mhidgan on the resistance wants ilberd's head at this point.
