...being born? [ the "how" is kind of straightforward and kind of not. ] The timing is different for everyone, but my powers manifested when I was ten. I kind of trained at camp for a little while but I left after a few weeks. I ended up being trained by a ghost while I was gone, but I didn't go back to stay until last year.
[ he brought it up, but thinking about it means he still looks a little frustrated suddenly. ]
A terrible one. [ point blank. he takes a moment to think. ] He was a judge in my father's domain, but when he found me he had another agenda in mind for revenge. I didn't realize it at first. I was focused on other things and...it made it easier for him to almost succeed. But he taught me enough of how to control my powers for me to overthrow him in the end.
Definitely not. It's not always so bad, especially since I have more awareness and can block them now. Or get them to work for me instead. [ sometimes. ghosts actually are bad. but he kind of shrugs. ]
As far as I know, he's still a judge. I haven't seen him since I stripped him of his title and banished him. The man he wanted revenge on allowed me to release his spirit to be escorted back to the Underworld, and he's still building bridges and underpasses in Asphodel. So at least there's a sort of happy ending for him.
It's a little complicated to explain. [ it's not. he just has decided that's for a different time so he stops dropping information everywhere despite the fact he's kind of intrigued that there are other worlds like this out there. ]
Banishing? Yes. Stripping his title? Not really, that was just a bonus. [ ... ] But it's stuck since then, so I guess it really is mine even now.
About the same as anything else undead. I can direct them to my will. I can physically hold them or silence them as I need to. But there are still some ghosts stronger than me, so it takes other means sometimes to bring them back under my control.
I wasn't. [ he was, just a little ] Even if you still had that power, it's not like it would work on me now that I'm just human again. So...I kinda figured it was a moot point.
[ honestly he's pretty sure that's true, but he does not need to tell danny he has the ability to turn mortals into ghosts and send them straight to the underworld. so he just nods. ]
Definitely a moot point. [ ... ] I should head back to where I was going, but...we'll probably see each other around sooner than later.

And they're usually the type to be short-sighted enough to be overthrown.
What happened to him after that?

What's with all the 'stripping him of his title' and banishing stuff? That part of your powers too, somehow?
