Eugene Smith

Eugene Smith is a ghoul.

Quote: "Sorry, this section's closed to the public. Come back tomorrow."

Overview

From childhood, Eugene Smith always earned the description "morbid." As a youngster, hist first question upon getting a pet was how long it might live. He was always intensely curious around the elderly - they might die at any moment! It wasn't that Eugene was obsessed with death. He just wanted to be prepared.

Eugene decided that he wanted to be a mortician, to dress up and beautify death for people. He laughed at others who feared death - it was natural, inevitable. What was there to be afraid of?

Eugene's plans were disrupted by the draft, however. He served his time in the military, fought in Vietnam, and retuned knowing more about death than even he had ever wished. He took a job in a cemetery as a groundskeeper and tried to stay away from people. People, after all, were temporary. He had no desire to see them pass. His fascination with death was long gone.

And then Death visited him.

Death walked in the shape of a man and wished for Eugene to be its servant and caretaker. Death - under the unassuming name of "Gideon" - wished to vanish into other worlds by day and return by night. Eugene's job was to see that it wasn't disturbed. In return, Gideon gave Eugene a kiss and freed him from having to fear passing. As long as Eugene served faithfully, Gideon would leave Eugene alone, unchanging and undying.

Concept

Never quite all there to begin with, the Caretaker has become even more disconnected from reality since becoming a ghoul. He believes that he serves Death in exchange for immortality, and either he doesn't know or he willfully ignores the fact that his master is dead.
