Name: Algis Perovitch Murtaugh Origin: Malvanian/Virian Algis Murtaugh was a weak sickly child.   Aside from his illness, he suffered merciless bullying at school.   To escape the loneliness and misery, he began experimenting with trance states.   He spent so much time in the spirit realm of Fravash that he neglected his physical body.   His lively mind and playful nature found a home there.   He was misdiagnosed with autism.   When conventional therapies failed, he was sent to the Freedom House psychiatric facility, where he remained for many years.   He totally abandoned his physical body, allowing the nursing staff to take care of it, while he roamed Fravash.   He became bloated and overweight.   He remained at Freedom House until Sheraleen Conder rescued his physical body and helped guide his spirit back into it.
