Name: Letholdus, or Leth.
Age: Really old. Like, centuries. Over a thousand years.
Appearance:
Except slightly transparent. Like, you could see a wall right through him. And there's a big knife sticking out of his back. While we're on the subject of appearance, if you're wondering why he doesn't look like a little medieval squire or whatever, it's because his form ever so slightly changes over the years, kind of like natural selection. But faster. It does this to fit in with others at Avalon.

Supernatural: Ghost, of course.
Special Ability/Power: Can possess a person for a short time. The person is pretty much trapped into a tiny corner of their own mind, and cannot do anything until either Leth leaves or his time limit runs over. He can also go through walls, coz yeah, he's a ghost.
Unusual Defect/Oddity: He's transparent... duh. Oh yeah, he has a knife sticking out of his back.
Personality: Leth has a quirky sense of humor that normally makes him friendly with the other students quite fast. He enjoys sticking his head through walls and surprising people on the other side. He
Bio: Leth was born in the year 1078. He grew up in a small village in England, near Whitby. He had two brothers, and a sister. When he was thirteen, his father, a knight, began teaching him on the valued art of swordplay. He was quite good at it, and when he was seventeen, he was regarded as easily the best in his village. The first Crusade was announced a few months later. He eagerly signed up for it, thinking it would be short and he would return with riches.

It wasn't. Leth was killed on the first battle, a small skirmish between their army and a band of travelling warriors. While he had been fighting one warrior, quite skilfully, another had sneaked up and knifed him in the back. His sudden, and violent death, jolted him out of his body, and unlike the usual way of death, Leth was not sent up to Heaven, and not down to Hell. He was stuck in between. He watched from above, an invisible figure as his friend, Dain was desperately parrying blows from a trio of enemies. He was caught on the shoulder, and a sudden spurt of blood covered the warrior. He had to do something to help! But what? Leth suddenly had the sensation of a sucking feeling, and suddenly he was looking at Dain. His sword was stuck in his friends shoulder. How could this be? He didn't know, but what he did know was he had to help him. He yanked out the sword and swung a mighty blow at the warrior on his right. The surprise blow caught the man off-guard and lopped his head clean off his shoulders.

The other warrior turned in surprise just in time for Dain to slash the back of his head and he too, fell to the ground, covered in blood. No sooner had the man hit the ground, then Leth was in the air again, looking down. The warrior was looking confused, and as Dain tried to thank him, the man regained his senses and struck him through the chest, bursting his heart and killing him. An archer killed the man soon after, but Dain was also among the dead that day.

Letholdus drifted away, going back to his home village. He watched as his family received the news, and as they mourned and held his funeral. It was eventually to much for him to bear, seeing his family alive, and he left. He found a small cave and fell into a deep, sleep-like state.

[ABOUT A THOUSAND YEARS LATER]

'Come on Jim!' the small girl cried. She raced into the cave, puffing with each step. Ancient dust was heaved into the air with every movement. A small boy, presumably Jim, followed her. 'It's not fair, Isabelle, you're way faster than me-' he said than stopped suddenly. 'There's a boy here,' he said nervously.'What?' his sister replied. Jim walked over too a sleeping boy. He looked about fifteen, and by the dust lying on him it was clear he hadn't moved in a while. The weird part was, Jim could see the ground through him. Like, literally. He rolled the man over and screamed. There was a knife in his back, and a massive bloodstain.

Jim and Isabelle ran faster than they had ever ran before, almost breaking the records for running at their school. They ran to their mum, who called the police. But when the kids showed the cops the cave, there was nothing there.

Leth had been woken up by the kids screaming. He had watched, confused, as the two children, clad in strange garments ran out of the cave and looked as if they had seen a ghost. Oh wait, they had. He spent some time checking out the world, finding a lot had changed in a thousand years, before encountering a mad scientist.

To cut a long story short, Leth fell into one of the big bad machines and was transported to Avalon, where soon after he found the school.

Well, since that was about four paragraphs over the limit, heres a shortened version:

Leth be medieval. Leth go crusade. Leth die. Leth go home. Leth leave home. Leth go sleep. Leth wake up thousand years later. Leth fall into travel machine thingy. Leth go to Avalon.

Studying: See 'Stuff'. He still pops into a random class every now and then though.
Stuff: Leth isn't actually a student at Avalon, he's more like a guy who hangs around the school doing stuff. He fills in for absent teachers every now and then. Most of the students and teachers know him, and he just kind of floats around the hallways during classes.
Other: Avalon is the name of a playground near my house.
