The Wraith (Philip Ojomo)
Lore Overview

Once an immigrant seeking nothing more than honest work, Philip Ojomo found solace at Autohaven Wreckers. His days were simple—repairing cars, running the crusher, and holding onto the hope of a better life. To him, the shady dealings of the scrapyard were just background noise, a price of survival he chose to ignore.

That changed the day he saw blood drip from a car awaiting the crusher. Inside was a bound, terrified man. Ojomo freed him, only to watch in horror as his boss cut the man down before his eyes. The truth unraveled in an instant: every car he crushed carried not just metal, but lives. Unwittingly, he had been the executioner of countless innocents.

Something inside him broke. Rage consumed him as he turned on his employer, feeding him to the very machine that had claimed so many lives. With his bare hands, Ojomo tore his boss apart, spine and skull wrenched free in primal fury.

After that day, he vanished—swallowed by grief, anger, and the weight of his own guilt. But the Fog found him. Drawn into the Entity’s Realm, Philip Ojomo became The Wraith, forever cursed to stalk survivors in silence. His bell tolls a death knell for the living, and his cloak hides a killer who once sought peace but found only blood.
