My name is Casi Clarity. I was 26 years old when I died in 1969. Then I woke up in the 21st century - whole, sane, and unblemished. And at the same age I was when I died. What's more, when I came back, I brought a friend with me. His name is Coheed. He's a corporeal spirit, and he is also my protector. Against what, you ask? Well, it seems that ever since my return, I've been chased by ghosts. Demons. Ancient evil. Monsters. You name it.
