QUOTE:  "In a second I'm not gonna be the only dead man in the room..."

BACKGROUND: 
This disembodied spirit is amnesiac, and has no recollection of who he is or how he got into his current state. Nonetheless, he has shown great dedication to the cause of justice and while he supports the group, he isn't hesitant to provide a dissenting voice if he feels that the group has lapsed in its dedication to the heroic cause.

During the period when the group was stranded in the Valley of the Blessed, Wraith was briefly embodied, albiet in a body which bore no signs of life. He also began at this time to call himself the "Spirit of Vengeance" and proved capable of summoning the Furies, perhaps even being one of them himself. En route back home after this affair, he vanished from the plane for parts unknown, taking with him a possibly cursed artifact. His security clearance has been revoked, pending a proper explanation for these actions.

MOTIVATION: 
Vengeance against the one who put him in this state.

TACTICS: 
Wraith has only a limited ability to interact with the outside world, a fact which has been both a boon and a curse to him. While his immaterial state protects him from most attacks, it also strongly limits his ability to 'lend a hand' where needed. In combat, he has been able to assist via the spectral revolver that is his primary form of attack, though he can also unleash an NND when he gets close enough to an opponent.

KNOWN STRENGTHS: 
Immaterial and thus impervious to most attacks.

KNOWN WEAKNESSES: 
Vulnerable to magic attacks. Since he is immaterial, he has trouble interacting with objects on the physical plane.

OFFENSIVE POWERS: 
Spectral pistol RKA. Touch-based NND.

DEFENSIVE POWERS: 
Immateriality.

NON-COMBAT POWERS: 
Danger Sense. Demonstrated the incredible (and dangerous) ability to summon forth the Furies, unaligned spirits of Earth-shattering power.

FOCII/EQUIPMENT: 
Spectral Pistol. Has possession of the mystical Jade Skull.

LOCOMOTION: 
Flight.

KotC ENCOUNTERS: 
- first appeared during chaos surrounding Crucible's memorial service.

- thereafter aided group in freeing Hazardman and Sub-Zero from the clutches of the Master Planner.

- formally accepted as a member of the group for his dedication to the cause when the group was thrown back in time.

- disappeared from the group without warning just after the conclusion of the business in the Valley of the Blessed, bearing with him the Jade Skull.

- was encountered again in the pocket plane of Limbo that has spread through the Emile F. Chopin Home for the Criminally Insane. Muttering about "purity" like the other victims of Avatar, he and Templar went at it in a take-no-prisoners kind of way, but were separated by the flow of the battle before either was killed.

KotC COMMENTS: 
- Phoenix: "This should be interesting to watch."
- Perseus: "Your dead can roam around?!? Humans are a most unusual species."
- Hazardman: "Oooh, scary!"
- Templar: "It is not meet for an unaligned spirit to wander the mortal plane. I can try an exorcism to deliver you to your final rest at any time..."
