He is a ghost who was formerly a circus acrobat named Boston Brand who was murdered by a mysterious assailant. His spirit was granted the power to possess any living being by a god called Rama Kushna in order to search for his murderer. However, Brand found himself feeling personally obliged to help others in addition to his search using his power to intervene more intimately than what is normally possible.
