Physical Description Ghost is short and slender, having more the lithe musculature of a runner rather than being bulky. His skin is the color of chocolate, a natural shade, as he is almost never out in the sun. Being a Haithian, he has a precious stone embedded in his forehead - a diamond. And since Haithians always have the same eye and hair color as their stone, his are transparent. His irises are like slightly frosted glass, though it is hard to tell, as they make his pupils look overlarge thanks to their lack of pigment. Unable to keep out light, he must wear a thick blindfold if faced with sunlight or anything brighter than a single candle. His hair, kept long at shoulder length, gives the impression of being white when all together (much like a polar bear's fur) but upon closer inspection the strands are like filaments of glass. He generally wears flowing white or gray clothes, similar to robe tops and loose pants. If he is out on a mission, which are done exclusively at night so he may see, he naturally dons black clothes to help him blend into the shadows.

Personality Soft spoken, Ghost generally doesn't make much of an impact on a room if he chooses not to. He is polite and well versed in etiquette, yet still seems to be lacking a certain amount of 'people skills' that shows in certain situations. He's not had much one-on-one interaction with people due to his reputation for being mysterious and shut off from the world. Truthfully he simply has to stay in dark rooms, with no more than a single candle for light - not the most inviting atmosphere for most people. Other than that, he seems rather transient - like he has no real place in the world, and simply drifts. He doesn't seem to have any attachments, and he offers his skills for hire to those who would have need of them - however he does seem to have standards for who he's willing to work for. He is passive and gentle, but sometimes in flashes, it appears as though he is forcing himself to be as un-aggressive as possible.

Magic/Abilities
Dowsing - using a diamond on a silver chain, probably the only thing of worth he owns, Ghost can perform extremely accurate dowsing. From finding items, to answering yes/no and either/or questions, his ability to determine the truth is almost unparalleled.

Empathy - Haithians are natural empaths, able to sense the emotions of any living thing, specifically fellow humanoids. Ghost can sense people, even if he cannot see them, making him an exceptional scout. His ability to sense the true emotions of people also helps in his spy work. DOWNSIDE - Haithians are not just basic emotion-sensors, they actually are able to feed off the emotional energy. The pain of others is particularly potent, like a drug to a normal person, and once exposed to it a Haithian can find it all but impossible to resist the urge to cause pain in others just to feed off the energy.

Scout/Spy - Ghost is incredibly quiet when he needs to be, all but silent when he moves. He's quick minded, able to make split second decisions where necessary, and he's nimble, fast, and flexible - all good traits in this line of work.

Pianist - A hobby more than anything, Ghost enjoys the haunting tune of the piano and so he taught himself to play, and has continued to practice through the years. Since he is often unable to look at the beauty of things, he enjoys music far more than your average person, as the lighting doesn't matter when you're listening.

Relationships
Qiana, Queen of Serendipity - His latest employer. He's quite honored to work with royalty, but his overall demeanor has not changed despite the fact she is the Queen.

Other positions open! Past employers, people he's met on his travels, etc.

History
Ghost doesn't usually open up about himself, generally rebuffing questions about his past with questions about why it matters in the first place. He spent a fair portion of his childhood in La'Marri, though he was an orphan and generally kept to himself thanks to the limitations on his vision. When he was sixteen, he began to travel and offer his skills as a way to feed and clothe himself. It's been an eternal journey since then, though he doesn't seem to have any real end goal in sight for his travels.
