Variable name - 7th level wizard spell.

For the next 24hours; nothing about the targets identity may be discovered by magical or mundane means. Anyone inquiring about the target has a plausible and consistent story placed in their mind instead; it doesn't matter what the target tells them or what they see.

Someone with the Truesight ability; will know that there is magical concealment active, but will be unable to discern any details about the target.
