Ghost

Add a picture of the character.
Claudes appearance is that of a 28 year old wannabe. Clothing thats cheap but wants to look expensive, a gold chain, a chin strap beard and short hair. Blue eyes and a face that might be handsome if the constituent parts weren't mismatched - eyes too wide apart for a small mouth and a big nose. His ghost bears the wounds that led to his death. Three gaping holes made by silenced 9mm rounds decorate his chest and back. These shots were clustered to ensure a painful death, not a quick one.


Background
Claude Donato was always small-time. Abandoned by his mother to the auspices of his petty father, Claude grew up streetsmart and schooldumb. At age 10 he stole his first bike, and by age 15 he was stealing cars. By 18 he was stealing anything that wasn't nailed down and selling it for petty cash; cash he used to support his habit. Not drugs, he was too afraid to get involved with that. Not hookers, he didn't really like women that much either. Food. Claude Donato loved food, though you couldn't tell it by his shape - his metabolism let him consume unheard of amounts of food with no weight gain - and not just any food, but the worst - fast food hamburgers, greasy pizza, and his favorite, poutine.
If Claude had ever been with the 'right crowd' no one knows - he was perpetually involved with the shadiest people in the city.
Claude had made contacts with some thug looking to hire a runner, and Claude got the job through schmoozing and luck. It was easy work; bring packages here, get some cash, bring it back. No questions, no problem. They even gave him a crapbox car to do it in (old stationwagon), and paid his gas. It was good, while it lasted.
Then Claude got another job offer. And in the end that was what got him killed.
Work for the police or go to the house for 15 years on trumped up charges of trafficking, resist arrest, escape lawful custody.
He couldnt go to jail... the food in the big house was horrible.
So he made the ill fated decision, strapped on the bug and took to work. He started hanging around longer than usual at his drops, asking questions, and generally being the worst snitch possible.
And it cost him.
Claude never saw the guy who killed him. He was dropping off a package, and he'd just started asking questions when he felt 3 pricks in his back. The guy he was delivering to just looked on with utter disdain - like he'd just watched a dog shit on his shoe. Then all Claude saw was darkness.
He awoke more pissed off than ever and looking to get even.
He doesn't really know that he's dead, or that his anchor is actuallyone of the detectives who was working his case. All he cares about is how hungry he is...

Concept
Small time criminal killed while making a drug deal in a haunted house.
