Name: The Ghost (real name: Daniel Chance, known only to close friends)
Appearance: He tends to wear lightweight, dark-grey-and-black leather armor, a mask concealing the lower half of his face and a hooded cloak, leaving very little of his body visible – his sharp, emerald-green eyes and perhaps a centimeter of skin around them. When letting his hair down, though, he pulls back the hood and removes the mask, revealing slim, handsome features, pale skin and shoulder-length, silver hair. His build is slim but clearly athletic beneath the armor.
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown; appears to be in his twenties or early thirties, but sometimes implies he's older.
Abilities: An assassin through and through, the Ghost specializes in stealth tactics, deception and rapid, aggressive strikes, using a unique form of smoke power that may be conventional magic or something else, he never tells. These abilities range from smokescreens to blind his enemies to blistering streams of steam that can boil a man alive to turning himself briefly into smoke to glide across the battlefield.
He wields a unique weapon that seems at first to be a pair of three-foot-long sticks, but at the flick of his wrist blades or chains spring out, turning them into anything from nunchaku to kamas to a single staff or scythe or practically any combination of sticks, blades and/or chains. The assassin strikes hard and fast with a blinding array of attacks, but can't take a hit very well and prefers to retreat when the going gets tough. His style is extremely mobile and acrobatic, using deception and distraction to keep opponents off-balance while he goes in for the kill.
Personality: As befits his name the Ghost can be hard to pin down, lying and telling truth in equal measure to keep people guessing. On the surface he seems like a simple mercenary with a penchant for pleasant, conversational behavior and occasional hijinks simply for the sake of it, but some have found that deep down he greatly values genuine friendship, more than any amount of money.
Away from the field of battle the Ghost is known to be gregarious. He enjoys socializing with other champions regardless of their affiliation, from attending Pentakill performances to frequenting the Sinful Succulence bakery. He laughs easily and chats freely, though anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. He does consistently seem to think more highly of people with some exceptional trait besides power, such as intelligence, creativity, combat prowess or simply talent and drive.
Lore: No one is quite certain where the Ghost came from. Not because his story can't be found, but because there are so many conflicting accounts, doubtless spread by the Ghost himself. Some claim he started out as a Zaunite assassin, others an Ionian in the traditions of Zed or Shen, others still insist he was a Noxian urchin who killed his way to prominence. What is known is that he surfaced seven years ago as a freelance assassin, but apparently grew bored of it after only three years and switched to thievery, then treasure hunting. Despite excelling in every one of these fields he has never kept to one for very long, and the League of Legends is his latest vocation.
