CLASS
 III

Conspectus Humanoid Delineation

Examples: Zombies, Animated Skeletons, Dark Servants. Hive-mind or swarm intelligence. Anonymous hauntings or entities.

CLASS IV

Conspectus Humanoid Delineation
(Type 2: Identified)

Identity is established alongside personality; possible autonomy. May be a spirit that has retained the functions of their previous life, or an entity that exists within their own social structure as an Individual.
Note: Type 1 subclassification does not mean Identity is absent, only unknown. All Class IV entities begin as Class III until an Identity is confirmed.
Examples: Historical Ghosts. Cursed or Immortal humans. Morphological transmogrification where Identity is withheld.

CLASS V
