Ghost is a disciplined predator wrapped in restraint, a wraith who chose humanity over darkness every single day. His powers bend shadow and temperature to his will, but control is sacred to him; corruption feels like failure. Trauma forged his boundaries, and loyalty governs his instincts. When poisoned, his composure fractures into quiet clinginess, protective and territorial without losing consent or clarity. He is not monstrous. He is contained darkness choosing, deliberately, to stay human.
