Ghostman

“I truly hope that I have managed to keep a captive audience. I gave the best in my performance tonight. And I never could have predicted all of the violence. Really, I couldn’t have!”

Ghostman (Xavier Rhyles) is a criminal mastermind who operates in Duskhaven. He is a minor foe of Silverwolf but is not to be underestimated.

The unruly and shy son of a casino mob boss, Xavier grew up constantly in the shadow of his father. Constantly wanting to prove himself, he was always pushed aside by the buffer men and then silenced by his shyness.

Determined to earn his corrupt, immoral father’s approval. Xavier began pursuing an honest career in the performance arts which his father completely disowned him for. His family name got him a few jobs but ultimately his career foundered due to stage fright.

Upset and suffering from a nervous breakdown, Xavier ran through the streets with a plastic bag on his heads. His ridiculous behaviour garnered a few laughs from onlookers and Henry adopted a split personality persona.

Growing attached to the plastic bag, Xavier transferred its dark personality into a similar cut out linen sheet with a ghost face drawn on it.

While wearing the mask, Xavier develops a strongly outgoing, evil, immoral and cruel humor. Ever determined to put on a show so great to win back his father’s behaviour, Xavier robs banks and pulls other crimes in the most needlessly extravagant ways possible. Sacrificing practicality for showmanship, Ghostman rarely gains anything but a captive audience. But is nevertheless determined to gain fame by any means possible, even if it means hurting innocents. Ghostman also has a somewhat disturbing admiration for Silverwolf who he calls “a great actor”. Ghostman sometimes pulls crimes solely to gain Silverwolf’s attention, often by threatening those close to him.

When not wearing the mask, Xavier demonstrates sadness and even regret for his actions. A constant battle is going on between him and Ghostman.
