The Ghost hunter known as Craven, (some times referred to as the “Ghost Face Killer” ) is a dead boy who hunts and kills other fellow dead people (zombies, ghosts, ghouls, etc).
He remains mostly mute and only communicates through thought balloons and the skull of his “so-called” Uncle Dario (Dario himself was a monster hunter in his living life and now in the afterlife acts like his trainer and mouthpiece / Think Phil from Disney’s Hercules). Craven doesn’t remember much about his life before he was dead, except that he was very lonely and was always searching for friends and a place to belong, a Happy place.
Due to his dead nature he’s quite durable, able to withstand high amounts of damage ; he is armed with his trusty demon slaying Knife, but much like most dead beings his eyes are his weak points as the eyes are the windows to the soul (he already has one eye damaged) so if you destroy his “good eye”, he will be banished to the netherworld forever unable to return to our world.

During the events of Invitational, we found out that Craven is really the ghost form of a small nine year old boy, his ghost fighter form is a projection of what he wishes to be, a brave and strong fighter.
He is mute due to the trauma of his death, ( he was strangled to death ), yet even with all these revelations, the boy still keeps his cheerful outlook and has forgiven his Uncle in his involvement in his demise.
