Which ghosts would make great pcs?

[Shades of Eternity]

I created a Fate fugitive where a ghost or other spectre is turned into a semi-physical form and therefore a viable PC. They retain many of their ghostly characteristics, but are "freed" from their tale and given free will.

Which ghosts throughout various tales would you want to see turned into an adventurer and why?

The ghost of Sergei von Zarovich - a noble, devoted paladin with a radiant heart, he now has a chance to stop the cycle of corruption started by his brother

 

[Baron Opal II]

Captain Daniel Gregg, one of the last sea captains of the Age of Sail. Resistant to change, tough as nails, desires to leave his estate to form a retirement home caring for the less fortunate or crippled sea captains that come after him.

This one is friendly. I picture him as a wizard learning from Wendy.

Yeah I dunno if Macbeth or the White Lady make for good PCs, Macbeths more the villain and the White Lady an NPC.

Sir John Moore would be a good option though

The Macbeth entry was a little misleading. It has more to do with the ghost of one of his victims, Banquo.
