Heir to a famous plantation in Louisiana, Armand knew from a young age that he had to ignore the whispers of the specters that shared his living space and seemed to so want his attention. It wasn’t *normal* after all. Alas the spirits seemingly enamoured by his presence wouldn’t let him ignore them forever. And during his engagement celebration caused a tragedy. His family in a bid to sweep away what they saw as a stain on their family honour sent him away to an asylum where he spent the next few years with tortured spirits of a different kind. He might very well have died or truely turned insane if in a fit of desperation he made a contract with a ghost to escape .

Transport: Made a contract with a ghost -- ended up in the future.
