I am Ghost. Creature of the Night. Phantom Halfling. Shadow Lurker.
He was Jenga Hilltopple. Youngest of the Hilltopple family. He married Fittle Tealeaf and lived happily...for a good amount of time. He left the Halfling settlement in hopes of living a different life. He wanted change. And change came his way. He didn't expect that life outside the settlement was pure chaos. Full of murder, robbery, and manipulation. He had to survive. That's Jenga's only motivation. So he changed himself completely. He embraced the darkness surrounding him. He tried to not be himself anymore. It's easier that way. No more fragile little Jenga. Jenga's dead. There's only Ghost.

Personal history
Once upon a time, there lived a humble family of halflings, the Hilltopples, on a grove surrounded by mountains. These stout halflings work with dwarves mining gems for the Dwarf King along with other halflings (High-hill, Tealeaf, Underbough, and Sturdyfeet). The Hightopples are the most diligent miners in the grove that earned them a hill higher than the others where their burrow is located.
Atop this hill, is the Jenga tree, overlooking the entire grove, passed on for generations after generations. Its quite easy to tell that this enormous (for a halfling) sturdy white tree has survived centuries of calamities by the way its roots grab the ground. Sitting below this tree is a pregnant halfling, Firefly High-hill, wife of Eko Hilltopple, holding a single crimson leaf that fell from the tree. A sign that fall has come.
Firefly watched the sun set on the horizon, waiting for his husband to come home and help her walk back into the burrow. When suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on the lower part of her abdomen. Along with the pain, is the sudden shortness of breath as panic arises from her looking for her husband. Fortunately, Eko emerges carrying a sack of fruits and crops, greeting her wife with a smile that quickly turned into worry. He abandoned his belongings as he raced toward her wife which is obviously in labor. He holds her hand while saying "I'm here" multiple times. Amidst the pain, Firefly managed a smile, feeling a sense of security now that his husband is here. With one last push, out comes a black-haired pale halfling baby which will come to be known as Jenga Hilltopple.
Education
Jenga basically learned everything from her Ma. Sometimes from Old Kemoty down by the farm. Other times from his Pa (by observing), especially where not to go (Cave mines) and what not to do (Mining).
Employment
Jenga is self-employed. Or so he thought. Most of the jobs he accepts are requests from The Beggar King. It doesn't pay much but it's better than doing nothing.
