Ghost (assassin)

Ghost is an assassin who belongs to the Night Masks. He has spent at least three lifetimes perfecting his craft.

The Ghearufu
Ghost killed by swapping his spirit with his target's spirit using a magical device called Ghearufu. The Ghearufu consists of a small, gold-edged mirror on a golden chain and a pair of mismatching gloves - one white, the other black. After switching bodies Ghost would than use the target's body to kill his previous owner. The target's spirit then leaves the dead body which can now be reclaimed by Ghost's spirit.

The divice is said to be created in the lower planes millenia before it came to be found by Ghost.

Cadderly Bonaduce finally destroyed the Ghearufu with the help of the red dragon Fyrentennimar.

Ring of Healing
In order to use is own body over and over again after killing it, Ghost used a ring of healing. After the kill the assassin just waited for the ring concealed in his boot to heal his first body. When it is alive again, he transfers back, leaving the targets body spiritless, dead and unmarked.
