'''History:''' Sammy O'Brian was a writer and amatuer boxer in the 1930s who wrote about a fictional character called "The Spook." The Spook was a crime fighter and adventurer who took on the criminal element with both fists, and sometimes tangled with some creepy cults and ghosts.

One night a man on the run from a rather nasty cult stumbled onto Sammy's doorstep. It seems that this man, who had seen his share of real cults and scares, thought that The Spook was real and that Sammy was the best way to get in touch with him. The man died in Sammy's arms from a gun-shot wound he'd recieved earlier, passing on a ring that he'd wanted to keep from his killers. 

The cultists attacked, but Sammy was able to hold them off with the help of the ring and his own skill. Promising to never let the threats of the night harm those around him, Sammy became The Spook in actuality. The ring, called "The Ring of the Just", allowed the Spook to punch ghosts as if they were real men and a supernatural second sight. Sammy was never able to discover what exactly its true purpose was, but it occassionally revealed other capabilities that he was largely unaware of.

He was always more of a fighter than a thinker, but both his avid reading and his experiences in the field gave him a large body of occult knowledge... and he made quite a name for himself. He wasn't much for gadgets or the like, but he did sometimes use variations on toy noisemakers and smoke-bombs to help scare his more mortal opponents. Clever, quick, and scary when he wanted to be.

He has no idea how he died or his spirit ended up imprisoned in some strange item a few thugs accidentally broke when stealing it, but is putting his memories back together slowly. That, and being a ghost in a world a good 50+ years past his experience, has kept his plate rather full at the moment...
