Wraith

Wraiths were a type of non-corporeal undead.

They were different from ghosts in that wraiths had no will of their own, nor much of a sense of self. This made them excellent henchpeople and servants for magic-users who didn't mind the ethical implications. Living people could also magically be turned into wraiths by means of cursed toadstools; the Queen of the Black Market's supplier of the same even managed to create virtual curse toadstools that could turn digital intelligences like Temps into wraiths.

The Queen of the Black Market used wraiths as spies, household staff, guards and enforcers around her Interdimensional Black Market. She also used them as a source of immortality, draining their life-force to restore her own if she was injured or killed, and occasionally attempted to train individual wraiths to make them into novelty pets, such as Wallace.
