The ghost army becomes increasingly less transparent until it appears he really is surrounded by a maddening horde of the undead.

Background

Apollo is the Grass Spider's foremost expert in stealth and thievery, most notably in high end heists and extreme spy missions. Apollo works mostly on missions that involve stealth and thievery, preferring to avoid missions involving direct combat. Considering the number of missions younger members of the organization are typically involved in, Apollo proudly boasts the lowest kill percentage of any member of the organization.

Apollo's love of thievery stems from his days as a child, Apollo was born on the streets of The Imperial Capital as an unclaimed orphan and was forced to fend for himself. In his battle to survive in the forgotten underbelly of Creation's capital Apollo became a low level pick pocket, thriving off the heavy change purses of the Princes of Creation. However, it was only a matter of time before he stole from the wrong person, even despite is considerable skill a particularly astute Dragon-Blood caught him. Luckily for Apollo he was not given a terribly harsh punishment and instead of losing his hand, or even his life, he was sent off the Blessed Isle to a prison in the coast of the south.

Apollo's life in prison is thought to have originated his proficiency in stealth as well as his dislike of both sunlight and physical violence. But for all the negatives of being a young child in the harsh life of prison it taught him many life lessons that would contribute to his skill as a member of The Grass Spiders. Apollo likely would have spent his entire life buried away, forgotten about in that prison if one event hadn't changed his life entirely. As he was coming into his own in the prison during a prison riot, that he claims he had nothing to do with, he suddenly exalted while trying to discretely escape. The exaltation was a curse and a blessing, the show of exaltation ruined his attempts to escape, but Dragon-Bloods do not stay imprisoned for long.
