## Biography

As a ghost, Harold did remember his life as a mortal, though some particular details have become hazy and obscure with time.

Born in the Nassau County of New York, Harold Charlie Emerson was the youngest of three children.

He and his elder sisters had a good, well-to-do middle class upbringing. A bright student, Harold worked hard on his studies and eventually graduated with honors in economics from a well-known University, and soon found himself a job as a junior trader at a local investment banking and brokerage firm.

Quite a control freak with a business-oriented mind, Harold worked hard to achieve profits in the business and was praised by his superiors.

Quite pronounced and dedicated, Harold worked hard and ruthlessly, quite determined to fulfill his ambitions, and gain power and influence in his business, and managed to rapidly climb up on the corporate ladder.

Unfortunately, despite his hard-working and ambitious nature and prowess in business, Harold had quite a mercurial personality, often prone to go into depressive moods, at which point he could find himself quite detached and apathetic to the people around him.

Despite that, Harold was quite determined, and even during his depressive moods, he was determined to outperform his fears and insecurities and achieve great ends in his business.

His rapid profits and promotions in business and work made his control freak nature accentuate, which he tried to use to his advantage to further develop his skills and prowess.

While achieving prowess in business, Harold had quite an estranged relationship with his family, with virtually no ties with his parents and siblings at the time of his death.

Along with his estranged family, Harold had very few friends as well, though he did manage to maintain close relations with some of them.

His lack of ability to maintain a positive relationship with his family and remain connected with them did bother him quite a bit, though he hoped they would be able to reconnect, which never came to fruition.

One day, while making his way to work on a cab, another car with failed brakes crashed into the cab, killing him and a few of the other passengers instantly.

While dead, Harold was for a moment surprised and almost crossed over to the afterlife.

However, vexed by his short life, his ambitious, radical and stubborn personality gave him enough willpower and force of determination to remain as a ghost, tethering his Praxis of Corpus to a watch he possessed, a gift one of his closest friends, and one of the few people he had managed to establish a good relationship with, had given him.

His willpower and dedication were so great that he managed to become a powerful level-Seven Specter ghost.

Harold spent the next few months quite somewhat overwhelmed with the new reality he found himself in, and decided to travel the Shadelands and Brightlands to get a better understanding of this new reality, and met other ghosts in the realms, possessing a wide range of abilities and skills.

Wanting to understand the Veil and develop his own abilities and skills, and gain a new purpose in this supernatural reality, Harold put his control freak nature to the test, trying his best to study and understand the underpinnings of the Veil.

With time and effort and hard-work, Harold eventually managed to gain a good knowledge of the Veil.

Along with that, his frequent travels made him establish connections with various other ghosts, who eventually joined together to form a ghost society/cult, with Harold assuming leadership.

He began to recruit a wide group of ghosts into the society, trying to find benefits and uses of every type of ghost he recruited, and eventually became dedicated to the association, with the ghostly society and his extensive study of the Veil giving him continued purpose in this new reality he had found himself in.

## Physical Appearance

As a mortal, Harold was possessed of a tall frame, and had charcoal black hair and light hazel eyes. His gaunt face, adorned with round spectacles, was almost always thoughtful or serious-looking in appearance, due to him being obsessed over some matter or other relating to his work as a trader.

As a ghost, Harold had retained the gaunt, serious-looking countenance and control freak mannerism, though his preferred "Apparition-form" as a ghost has him completely grey or pale white in colour, often looking as if formed out of mist.

## Personality

Mercurial to a fault, and quite radical-minded, Harold has got quite a control-freak nature, with a keen desire to learn about things and matters to their utmost details before acting on them and obsessing over particular issues for days and even weeks before they are resolved to his utmost satisfaction.

Though intelligent and quite creative at times, Harold has quite an egotistical and prideful nature regarding his intellect, and often tends to flaunt and exaggerate his intelligence.

Harold likes to think of himself as an intelligent, business-oriented person, possessing an organized mind, a sharp eye for detail, and the ability to observe and calculate things deeply before acting, and dedicated to achieving his goals and gaining power and influence in his business..

He is the sort of person who cheers in exhilaration at an achievement but is prone to tear his hair apart at a defeat, despite careful planning.

Quite mercurial, Harold has often a tendency to go into depressive spirals for a while, in which cases he is rather prone to irritation and anger, and feels quite detached with his associates, feeling apathetic and not able to "connect" properly with people around him.

Although he has an organized mind and likes to plan things carefully before acting, he can become excessively angry and impatient when things don't go his way or his plans don't succeed properly.

Quite stubborn and prideful, Harold often has a tendency to take a lead in things and make things go his way, and not listen to other opinions, which many a times puts him at odds with his allies and friends in the ghost cult.

Despite his various faults, Harold can be quite driven and determined, and is very much zealous and stubborn and ambitious in his beliefs and commitments, and is dedicated to his cult and its members, and truly wishes to see his ghost society develop and grow.

## Relationsips

As a mortal, Harold's relationship with his parents and siblings were quite estranged and he had very few friends at the time of his death. His inability to maintain a good relationship with his family and the few friends he had was a source of regret for him later in life when he became a ghost.

It was this regret that made Harold make an attempt to establish good connections with the ghost cult he now leads, though his egoistical and stubborn nature in leading that can often put him at odds with other cult members.

Also, at times during some of his bad mood swings, or when quite depressed when things don't go according to plan or pressurized and tense while dealing with a crisis, he can be quite cold and ruthless and apathetic to everyone in general.

Despite that, Harold truly is dedicated to the cult and its members and wishes to see the association grow into a prominent and diverse ghostly society, and frequently looks forward to recruiting more ghosts to it for the benefits it gives to the society and cult.

## Powers

As a powerful Level-7 Specter Ghost, Harold possesses most of the magical abilities a ghost of his power scale is equipped with, including powers of Whisper, Apparition, Wraithgrasp, Flicker, Materialize, Shift, Veilguide, Dislocate, Realmwalk, Veilway, and Incarnate.

## Skills

Harold likes to think of himself as an intelligent, business-oriented person, possessing an organized mind, a sharp eye for detail, and the ability to observe and calculate things deeply before acting. His nature as a control freak makes him obsess over certain details and matters for quite a time, before they are resolved to his satisfaction, which he tried to use to his advantage to understand and study his Praxis of Corpus deeply and master it thoroughly to become a powerful Specter-level ghost. His control-freak also assists him to understand things and matters to the utmost detail, and gain thorough knowledge about important issues and problems before dealing with them. He is also very hard-working and often works with quite a determined approach to fulfill his motivations and achieve his goals.
