Born in 002 AE to Charlette and Phillip Norris. Phillip was an abusive alcoholic, and Charlette was terrified of him. Ghost was subjected to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of his father. At the age of 7 and unable to take anymore ghost ran away to the Vancouver streets where he was quickly picked up by Lorne Jin a local pimp. Ghost spent the next two years as a child prostitute on the Vancouver streets.  011 AE Robert ran into him accidentally while meeting a Orientani informant late one night in a Vancouver Café. Sensing his magical nature and observing his skittish behavior and circumstances, over the next few months Robert visited Vancouver and Ghost regularly, slowly winning Ghost's trust. After finding Ghost in the hospital after a particularly bad night with a John, Robert offered to get Ghost out of the life - and told him of IS 51. Ghost was suspicious but felt it was better than the direction he was heading. He agreed to go with Robert, and was transferred to IS 51 Brazeau River Base where he started to adjust to a more normal childhood. He has come to trust IS 51 Operatives (esp Robert) as if they were parents - but holds no illusions about what his job will be.
