The Banshee Leader

A Banshee, a variant species of phantoms.

Banshees were the most popular type of incorporeal netherans in Weeping Town.

They were, however, different from zombies, in the sense that they couldn't be spawned sporadically. 

A Banshee could only be birth when a lifeform is killed by another and fulfills certain conditions. Jake had no idea what the condition was, but he knew a few of them.

A Banshee had to be a female, there were only a few male banshees. 

A Banshee had to had died with immense grief, hence while they were synonymous with tears.

A Banshee had to have been filled with negative emotions before becoming one!

There were mainly other theorized conditions, but these were the ones that were certified. For instance, Jake knew that the location was important for a banshee's birth, but he didn't quite understand how it factored into the equation.

However, one thing he knew was he should never listen to the cries of banshees.
