Dead Boy

=Dead Boy=
== Summary ==
Dead Boy is a supporting protagonist in the Nightside series written by Simon R. Green, first appearing in the novel Nightingale's Lament. An undead teenager whose soul is cursed to possess its own dead body, Dead Boy is known for his reputation as a vigilante within the city of the Nightside, as well as his equal reputation of being extremely hard to kill through most means.
At the age of seventeen, the person who would later become known as Dead Boy was mugged and killed while walking the Nightside streets, taken for all of the credit cards and loose change on his person. What should have been the end, however, was instead a new beginning, as Dead Boy was soon resurrected by an unknown benefactor and set upon the streets to find his killers. Soon after his resurrection, he located each and every one of them and took his revenge.
Unfortunately, the deal which Dead Boy made in order to return to life came with a cost; even after finishing the task he had set out to perform, Dead Boy's body was denied its rest, forcing him to live on as a spirit possessing its own corpse. By the time the events of the novels take place, he has been undead for over thirty years, and has spent his time doing good deeds and killing those who would do wrong, claiming that it's the only chance he has at breaking the compact he made.
