- Please refrain from editing Ghostbur's relationship with Technoblade to state that they're twin brothers. Wilbur has never canonised that information, only that Techno is two minutes older, and Techno has actively de-canonised it.
- Also, please refrain from adding any information that only relates to Wilbur before his death. That belongs on Wilbur Soot's page.

—Ghostbur to Philza, after Doomsday | ||
Ghostbur is the residual ghost of the person who was known as Wilbur Soot in life. He is said to have re-manifested due to having extensive unfinished business on the server - this unfinished business was assumed to be L'Manberg as a whole.
Due to the extensive traumas of his past, he suffers from severe retrograde amnesia, and could typically only remember happy things. In an attempt to separate himself from the sources of his stress, he considered himself an entirely separate person from his alive self, who he referred to as "Alivebur". Due to his first resurrection attempt, his spirit briefly developed a link to Schlatt's ghost.
After Tommy's second exile from L'Manberg, he followed after his brother-figure, intending to help him stay positive and recover, but was sent away by Dream. Later, after reuniting with civilization, he met up with the survivors of L'Manberg in the aftermath of the Doomsday War and stayed with them up until his first resurrection attempt.
Though he had a house with Technoblade and Ph1LzA in the Arctic, it was unused and unfinished, and Philza later remodeled it into the basis for his own house. He still aligned himself with the intended ideology of freedom that L'Manberg was meant to embody, and never fully gave up on it, despite the country's apparent dissolution.
Ghostbur briefly went MIA, as he hadn't been seen since his first resurrection attempt, and his absence was recognized after the Disc Confrontation by Wilbur and Tommy. He reappeared on the 14th of March, a few days after Dream said he would revive Wilbur.
Aspeto[]
Ghostbur is a humanoid spirit, with light grey skin, black eyes, and brownish gray hair. He wore a yellow sweater, black pants, and gray shoes.
Physiology[]
Ghostbur does not possess any supernatural qualities or abilities, unlike the majority of other spirits said to exist on the SMP. He couldn't fly, turn invisible without potions, or pass through walls, being entirely corporeal to the mortal plane, as if he were a living player. However, he was dangerously allergic to water, and would sizzle and melt should he come into contact with the rain or snow - this didn't seem to cause him much physical harm in short spurts, but would slowly melt him if he stayed without cover for long.
Ghostbur has a scar over his chest underneath his sweater, where Phil stabbed him. Despite being a ghost, it reportedly still caused him pain.
On the Christmas Eve stream, it was further explained that Ghostbur would burn from the inside and dissolve if he was exposed to alcohol (though the entire stream was out of character, and this information was debatably canon at best).
He once claimed he could not touch metal; this fact seemed to have been disproven by his later contact with Gold armor. It was later completely disregarded as a plot point.
He is an effectively immortal as a spirit on the SMP, as it is not possible to kill a person after their final canon death - both attempts to kill Ghostbur just resulted in his return. Ghostbur was aware of this, and used it as an excuse to make people worry less about him when he gets into rough situations. His memory loss did not appear to be as a result of his death.
Ghostbur is able to be technically attacked by a physical weapon, as items did not phase through him, but the action wouldn't achieve much. It was debatable if he experienced pain from physical wounds. The first time he allowed himself to voice sadness resulted in a burst of coughing, implying that Ghostbur's fragile emotional state may have affected him physically.
Personality[]
Ghostbur acts similarly to Wilbur pre-presidency, most likely as a result of his spotty memory. He claimed to have let go of the majority of his lifetime struggles, attempting to find peace again. Despite this, in his own words, existence is pain. He seems to struggle with the realization with the fact that there is no afterlife, talking frequently about the fraudulence of religion.
Despite his calmer state, he seems to be very sad underneath his smile, trying not to focus on deep emotional things as a whole. His main goal was to make everybody else happy. He claimed that he didn't see a point to most superficial things, such as marriage, and asserted that since there is no real afterlife, there's no point in being anything but kind. As a result, he is a lot nicer than he was directly before his death, treating most of his old lifetime friends with a tentative and hopeful new approach. Ghostbur used to not want to be revived, as that would mean his death, but after Doomsday, he came to the conclusion that people would prefer it if Alivebur came back, and became reluctantly enthusiastic about the idea of his second death.
Ghostbur seems to be very tentative, doing his best to stay out of the way of large-scale meetings, dodging serious and heavy topics, and avoiding any and all mentions of his past. Whenever reminded of his history, he became very uncomfortable, almost as if he was experiencing some sort of emotional distress at the idea of remembering. His memory wasn't entirely gone - he attempted to list the things he could recall in his book, What I Remember. He seems to have detached himself from his living form entirely, to the point where he asked to be referred to as Ghostbur, and referred to living Wilbur as if he were a separate person, often using the name "Alivebur". Despite this, Ghostbur was determined to make up for his past self's antagonism.
Although he was rather melancholic, Ghostbur actively portrays himself as innocent or unaware - it is not clear if this was consciously, or subconsciously. In times of trauma or tension, Ghostbur is unable to analyse or be sensitive about the situation, most probably due to his conscious repression of anything negative. For example, during Technoblade's execution, he fixated on his "Friend", unable to comprehend the negative events that were happening around him. Due to his forced innocence and active memory repression, Ghostbur can be easily manipulated, never once doubting people's words as more than what they appeared to be on surface level. This could be seen especially in the failed beach party event, when Dream took advantage of this - he didn't once consider that Dream may be trying to manipulate him out of the way in order to harm Tommy.
Ghostbur retains his old affinity for tricks and pranks, and he enjoyed messing with his friends in little ways - usually by going invisible and punching them, or by placing menacing signs around them. He also demonstrated a new affinity for building, known for completing a variety of structures around the (now-destroyed) new L'Manberg. He later lamented their destruction.
He has a continued interest in literature, collecting every book he finds in his now-destroyed personal library. He was fond of reading them to people he likes, even if he didn't remember the context behind some of them. He has used this literature to study further into L’Manberg’s history and core ideologies. Ghostbur retained his drive to preserve L’Manberg’s purpose of freedom, even calling Tubbo, someone he considers to be a friend, into question on occasion.
Mental health[]
Much like his living self, Ghostbur appeared to be rather depressed, stating frequently that his existence is pain, everything is meaningless, and that he would like to stay dead. His sadness was hinted at by his allusions to expressing it.[1] He had selective memory loss (dissociative amnesia), likely due to the trauma he suffered throughout his life. When actively attempting to recall information, he struggled to remember the negative experiences of his past. The memories were not entirely gone, though, as Ghostbur somehow alluded to them in his final version of the L'Manberg Anthem, implying that his mind consciously blocked them out as a natural coping mechanism.
Ghostbur actively denied his sadness, dodging around the topic whenever he let details slip by accident, or was questioned about them by family. For example, both Fundy and Tommy asked about the nature of his "Blue", a substance that supposedly begins transparent and clear, changing with the sadness it absorbs. The "Blue" that was handed out by Ghostbur, however, was always a solid, opaque blue color and has never been seen in its initial transparent form. It could be deduced that he actively forgot things as a coping mechanism, unwilling to face anything that stresses him for fear of turning back into Alivebur.
Alongside his active repression, It's alluded to that Ghostbur's memory was actively deteriorating as a result of said dissociative amnesia, or was, at the very least, fluctuating heavily depending on his levels of stress. He failed to remember writing a book of his memories, despite its creation having been very recent, and stated that he didn't remember half of the things written inside, despite having writing them himself. He also tended to forget the names of people and places, often forgetting and remembering people sporadically when his mind registered them as being distressing. Usually, this forgetting process was instantaneous, as Ghostbur struggled to grasp onto anything that troubles him.
Despite not being fully aware of his traumas, Ghostbur seemingly had a continued lack of self preservation that has carried over from his living state. Despite being aware that rain and snow may melt him, he frequently ventured outside in said weather conditions before, and purposefully touched rain. It would appear that, with his resurrection attempt plans, Ghostbur had a complicated relationship with his continued state of being. He believed himself to be a weak existence, and recognized that the server needs strength, believing that he, in his spectral form, was not enough to help anyone. Despite fearing death, as a result, he had accepted it as necessary.
Ideology[]
Much like Alivebur, Ghostbur values the core ideology of L'Manberg very highly, having done a great deal of research into the nation's history. He believes in the concept of true freedom and emancipation, and voiced discontent at the new angles the current administration is taking, especially the execution cage and the house arrest of Phil. He didn't seem to be able to keep on the heavy political topic for long, but he voiced his concerns to Tubbo before, questioning if he had changed as a President. He returned a peaceful mindset, as seen by how he attempted to enforce the no armor rule.
Ghostbur does not like Alivebur at all, and demonized him whenever possible, but he acknowledged the lengthy period of peace that the nation enjoyed under his leadership. Ghostbur seemed to hope for peace to return, though he complied with the new government in an attempt not to upset them.
Ghostbur disapproves of the destruction of L'Manberg in the Doomsday War, and grew angry when he realized that Phil - someone he once considered a hero of the SMP for killing him - helped the terrorism progress. He continued to hope to rebuild L'Manberg, despite its apparent dissolution, and was resistant to the idea that it may be gone for good. He believes that the world required strength and leadership, something that Alivebur may be able to provide for it, seeing his personal interference as nothing more than a display of weakness.
Historia[]
Arco de Retribución[]
Initial post-mortem[]
During his death, Wilbur supposedly experienced the afterlife, coming to the conclusion that religion was false due to the fact that he saw nothing while there. Somehow, he returned to the server as a ghost spirit. He claimed to have found peace after blowing everything up, though his subsequent despairing language calls this claim into question. Ghostbur showed a tentative new kindness to the members of the restored L'Manberg, and requested a small area of land to build on, which he received. He offered his advice about rebuilding L'Manberg to the new President Tubbo, complimenting his leadership. Later, he expressed a desire to be resurrected to Tommy and Phil.
Using his small area of allotted land, he set up a place of residence for himself - a crane, with a small underground sewer-based living space. In the sewer, he moved the majority of his preserved documents into a barrel, which was later renovated into a personal library. He then took an hour to compose two more verses for the final version of the L'Manberg National Anthem, delivering it to Quackity for him to sing it.
Later, while relaxing, he mentioned to Quackity that Tubbo wanted to take down the Ninja Alleyway, which was a lie. It is unclear if this was out of a malicious intention or not. After talking about the state of L'Manberg briefly, Quackity proceeded to attempt to forcefully remind Ghostbur of his final explosion plot, but Ghostbur denied having ever detonated the TNT, claiming he would never do such a thing.
After collecting more lost documents and setting up a potion brewing service, Ghostbur compiled everything he could remember into a journal named What I Remember. It covered a loose recollection of his past both during and before his life L'Manberg, before ending in a hastily typed ellipses (it is disputed whether or not this was intended to be morse code), and a loosely written 'I don't know'. Notably, he seems to believe he won the Election. The only negative things he remembered while writing the book were Phil killing him and a large explosion (it is unclear if this is a memory of Dream's first detonation of L'Manberg, or his own). Shortly afterwards, though, he forgot having ever written said book.
Attempting to settle down[]
Ghostbur requested for Tubbo, and then, later, Jack Manifold, to write custom books, in order to add them to his collection. He assisted Fundy in helping tear down the Orphanage structure erected around his house by Captain Puffy. Later, he would request for another book - titled Arrival - to be written, this time by Philza. He spent some free time with his father, playing music in central L'Manberg, reading some of his book collection, and working on Phil's house together.
After retrieving Fundy's lost items, he attempted to return them in hopes of repairing his relationship with his son. Fundy informed Ghostbur that Eret had proposed the idea of adopting him, and that Phil would likely agree to it. Upset, he went to ask Phil about it, learning that Phil was still in the deciding stage, but would lean towards approving it. He pleaded for Phil to explain his bad history to him, but backed out of the conversation when things got too dark. Ghostbur went for a silent walk in Pogtopia before leaving when that also overwhelmed him, coming to the resigned conclusion that Fundy needed a dad, and he would do whatever he could to make up for his past.
Ghostbur accidentally stumbled across the old button room, but when Phil and Tubbo offered to explain it, he backed out of the conversation immediately. Later, when Phil was consoling Fundy about his failed adoption, Ghostbur attempted to engage conversation, tagging along in secret to their fishing session. After being discovered, Fundy demanded to speak to him, and the two went down to his sewer to talk properly, but Ghostbur refused to acknowledge the darker topics, stating he didn't remember doing any of what he was being accused of. He claimed to have forgotten the adoption process entirely, and attempted to deflect with another fishing offer before escaping with an invisibility potion.
After hearing about Techno and Phil being somewhere out of L'Manberg from Tommy, Ghostbur went to try and find them at Techno's old base. He met up with them despite Tommy's vocal dislike of Techno. Ghostbur didn't seem to grasp the divide between the family, hoping that everyone could re-befriend each other in a conversation, before leaving with Tommy upon his insistence. While returning, Tommy tried to explain Ghostbur's past to him without explicitly saying any names, in hopes of jogging his memory. Ghostbur voiced that he believed he did remember the history of L'Manberg, and recounted all he remembered in response, but his recount was still flawed, and he failed to remember who blew the land up.
Tommy and Ghostbur encountered Connor together, and Ghostbur attempted to get Connor to write a book for him, but failed to find one for him to write in on the spot. Instead, he promised to get one for him later. Together, Tommy, Ghostbur, Sapnap, and Connor planned to make some apology drugs in the Camaravan in order to try and prevent Tommy's exile the next day. Ghostbur expressed confusion at Sapnap being part of L'Manberg, stating he remembered seeing him on the other side in the war for independence, and accused him of being a traitor, like Eret. Once again, Ghostbur described death to Tommy upon his request, and then swore on demand.
When Tommy found Ghostbur's stash of golden apples, Ghostbur explained that he was hoarding supplies to cure villagers for Fundy. He then tried to advise that Tommy should free a bat from a container of glass, to which he received backlash from the entire group, leaving briefly. Ghostbur went and told Tubbo about the gift, accidentally ruining the surprise, before returning to help complete the brewing process despite Tommy's irritation at him. He then showed off a flying Strider he tamed with Fundy to the small group, before they went to gift Tubbo his drugs, supporting Tommy.
Ghostbur and Tommy separated from the group after the exchange to speak privately about how badly the gift giving went. Tommy asked Ghostbur for advice on what to do if he gets exiled from L'Manberg, and asked if he would still be there for him. Ghostbur proposed that Tommy should make a house outside L'Manberg, and Ghostbur expressed that he didn't wholly understand the ongoing drama, but voiced that he would be wherever he is needed. Tommy questioned why Ghostbur was still in existence, and Wilbur explained that he tried not to think about it, in an attempt to avoid forgetting further. He continued to try and reassure Tommy through his distress, wondering aloud who else on the server needed his help, before coming to the conclusion that Tommy was the one who needed his help more than L'Manberg did, now. Ghostbur proposed the idea that he should pretend to be like his alive self in order to go and help Tommy make a new nation, and stated he would follow Tommy, no matter what happened the next day.
Exilio de Tommy[]
Ghostbur willingly followed after Tommy, after Tommy was exiled from the entirety of the server - though, he didn't seem to properly grasp that Tommy had been permanently exiled. He asked why Tommy got thrown out, but never received a clear answer. Along the way, he tried to cheer Tommy up, despite not fully understanding the situation. While Tommy and Dream spoke, Technoblade contacted Wilbur in private as they set up a new spawn, asking for their coordinates.
Ghostbur in exile
The two started afresh together, 2,000 blocks away from spawn, having lost almost all of their items to Dream's TNT. Hurt from the past ordeal, Tommy asked why Wilbur made Tubbo president, and Ghostbur expressed that he genuinely didn't know, entirely separating his current self from his living self. He tried to distract from the conversation when Tommy seemed upset at him.
Ghostbur proposed they make a house to stay in, but Tommy declined, declaring they were only making a campsite, and Ghostbur agreed with the sentiment. Ghostbur spoke up about what he remembered of Pogtopia, noting the similar situation, wondering how it went, and Tommy explained that it went badly. Tommy blamed Tubbo's presidency on living Wilbur, accusing him of having orchestrated this outcome, to which Ghostbur tried to backpedal once more, explaining he did not like to think about his living self. Ghostbur told Tommy about Techno's contact, and seemed confused by why Tommy hated him, before declaring to Tommy that he was going to make up for whatever Alivebur did to him.
When Tommy declared he needed his discs, Ghostbur questioned him about their worth. When Tommy mentioned Tubbo, Ghostbur tried to recall his past motives about promoting Tubbo in the first place, wondering if he may have made Tubbo president because he wanted someone with discs to be in charge, or if he'd had faith in his leadership skills. Later, Ghostbur reminded Tommy of his initial victory in the War for Independence, recounting the duel between Tommy and Dream, and when he gave his discs up for L'Manberg on two occasions, praising him for his past, and offering him reassurance about his bravery.
When Techno joined the call, Ghostbur greeted him fondly and tried to invite him to join them, describing his location aloud to him, despite Techno and Tommy clearly disliking each other. Ghostbur voiced that he only had good memories of Techno and Phil, saying that he wanted the family to reunite once more in exile. When he visited briefly, Ghostbur greeted and chatted to Technoblade with joy, despite Tommy's anger at his presence, and stated that he hoped to go back to L'Manberg soon with them. When Techno mentioned they were anarchy brothers as he left, Ghostbur reacted with confusion, to which Techno reassured that he would explain later. Ghostbur went back to trying to make Tommy feel better, trying to distract him from the drama going on. Together, they named the new settlement Logsted, formally known as Logstedshire. Ghostbur constructed the majority of the new nation’s base, and Dream gifted Ghostbur a book to write in, and some drugs. Upon Tommy’s request, though, he gave the book to him.
Repairing relationships[]
Ghostbur traveled back to L’Manberg briefly in order to retrieve some of his books from his home library and take screenshots to hang around Logstedshire. He offered to take Tommy with him, but Dream convinced him not to. Ghostbur later made a Lodestone Compass that would point directly to the White House, where Tubbo lives, and gave it to Tommy as a gift. Later, in a visit to L'Manberg, Phil gifted him a Friendship Emerald from Techno. He then took Tubbo to Logstedshire while Tommy wasn't there in order to show him around. Tubbo offered to explain the events properly to him, but Ghostbur said he'd rather keep avoiding the sadness. Ghostbur asked what Tubbo did to Tommy, and acted encouraging when Tubbo expressed a desire to fix their relationship, complimenting his presidency.
After discussing his old Presidency, Ghostbur expressed vocal sadness at the fact his living self never received a gravestone, further separating his current existence from his living self, talking to Tubbo about how he had supposedly come to peace with the fact that his old self was "awful". Tubbo tried to explain that it was because he was still around, but Ghostbur replied "I'm not him." He led Tubbo back to his L'Manberg base in order to give him a present - a Lodestone Compass that would point directly to Logstedshire, where Tommy lives.
The next day, Ghostbur readily helped Tommy and Dream beautify the Logstedshire Beach, in preparation for a beach party (or as Phil called it, the “beach episode”). He happily agreed to hand out the invitations, handing out half of the invites as requested, but Dream interrupted, offering to take his role. Informing him that Tommy didn’t want him there, Dream sent him far into the snowy wilderness, where he got lost for about a month.
Return to society[]
Ghostbur came back on the day of the Butcher Army's attack, arriving at Techno's base in an attempt to shelter from the rain and help him, but Techno sent him away with a task to lead a blue sheep away in an attempt to protect him.
Unaware of the conflict, he led the hunting party straight to Technoblade, visibly confused about the mixed stories he was being told - Techno told him the butchers would kill him, but the butchers told him that Techno would hurt him. He tried to keep the butchers away anyhow, struggling to keep up with the situation. He watched the conflict in the background with Phil, and followed after the group, providing them a lead in a trade deal. On the way, he voiced concerns about the sight of the destroyed Logstedshire, but was shut down by the butchers calling him senile.
Upon witnessing the display of violence, he asked Tubbo if he'd changed. Concerned, he offered the butchers blue, to which they asked if he was sad, and he once again deflected. He voiced concern about Logstedshire to Phil, going into his house to shield from the rain, wondering what had happened to Tommy. He voiced that he was reading history books, and noted how the land was built on the idea of freedom, voicing concerns on how L'Manberg was being run in a way countering its core ideology. He also questioned Techno's lack of freedom, and his status as a fugitive, and their attacking Phil. Ghostbur questioned Tubbo's morality, to which Phil told him that Tubbo was no longer the good guy.
Ghostbur voiced that he believed Phil to have been right in finally ending Alivebur still, but stated that he had noticed that L'Manberg had enjoyed peace longest under his leadership, and voiced that he believed Eret to be a terrible person. He noticed Tommy arriving, and leapt to talk to him, asking about the beach party, to which Tommy explained that Dream had never been on his side. He started mentioning how invitations went out but were never received, but Tommy left before he could hear it, and wondered aloud if everyone was angry at Quackity.
He sang the anthem with Phil while looking at the cage, voicing that writing it was a happy memory. He decided to get rid of the cage, voicing disapproval at Phil's house arrest. Upon seeing Fundy, he tried to act friendly, but Fundy denied his advances. He started talking about L'Manberg was losing its freedom, and tried to convince the cabinet to let Phil out, as their decree broke the core ideals of emancipation. Ghostbur remarked on Ranboo's loyalty, likening him to Aaron Burr. After realising it had been a month since he died, he celebrated the fact with Phil and Ranboo briefly. He then decided he would go and find Techno.
Ghostbur accidentally killed Friend while trying to move him, and was immensely wounded by it, stating it was the worst thing he'd ever seen. He voiced he had another bad memory, calling back to the fishing trip with Fundy and Phil, but failed to recall the details of the event, having forgotten Fundy's accusations of him, and convinced Phil to join them despite his house arrest.
En la nieve[]
He forgot about killing Friend almost immediately, giving Ranboo the resultant mutton while travelling with him to meet Techno, and showed Ranboo how to heal Zombie Villagers. The two got lost on their way to Techno's base, and bonded over their memory loss, and their aversion to the rain. They walked in on Techno and Tommy's discussion, and Tommy started to voice his anger at him for the beach party. He explained his absence to Tommy, and explained that he could not go back to Logstedshire or his sewer, making him fundamentally homeless. Tommy offered him a room next to his raccoon hole, despite his anger at him, but Wilbur decided to simply build a new house next to Techno's.
After a few days' wait, Ghostbur decided to go and actively find the reincarnated version of friend. In order to do so, he accompanied Tommy on his search to gather oak wood. Upon voicing concerns about Tommy preferring Alivebur, Tommy told Ghostbur that Alivebur was a terrible person, and that his death was the best thing ever, which seemed to cheer him up. He advised Tommy to simply deny the existence things that troubled him, describing it as one of his go-to coping mechanisms, before explaining the history of friend to him. He separated from Tommy's side in order to go out and search further for friend, but it started snowing, so he had to go inside.
Later, he encountered Dream, who had friend with him. In an act of hospitality, he started to lead Dream to the cabin, unaware of Tommy's runaway status, though Tommy was quick to inform him of it. When Dream arrived, Ghostbur attempted to cover for him by pretending that Tommy wasn't present. However, his lies had several holes in them, and weren't very believable. During the visit, he voiced his mild fear and appreciation for Dream, who seemed to "appreciate" it. Though Dream at one point seemed to see through the lies, Ghostbur managed to safely send him away, saving Tommy for the day.
Ghostbur attempted to tutorial Tommy on building, giving him advice on making non-square structures. Seemingly unprompted, he stated that he didn't want to be brought back to life, explaining that he was scared of dying, and reviving Alivebur in his place, as most people prefer him as a ghost. In an attempt to help him, pointed Tommy in the direction to his old base, letting him know that most people might assume that he'd committed suicide.
De vuelta en L'Manberg[]
Later, Ghostbur moved Friend to Phil's house in order to have him look after him. However, as Phil wanted to work on his basement, he was unable to look after him 24/7. Despite trusting Phil, he would repeatedly check in on Friend, growing paranoid about his safety, to Phil's annoyance. This led to him saying "yes" (even if he was unsure of friend's status) every time Ghostbur asked if he was alright, until he went to check on him to find him gone.
One of the reasons why friend kept escaping was due to Ghostbur consistently breaking Phil's front door, claiming it got in his way. Upon being found out for his minor vandalism, he called Phil spectrophobic for assuming he could just phase through walls. Fortunately, Ghostbur was able to find Friend at the Camarvan. Irritated, he called Phil a horrible pet-sitter, ignoring him when he complained that he never really asked to be one.
During the babysitting, Phil lost Friend, so Wilbur found him and asked Fundy to look after him instead. Phil asked Wilbur to bring him soul sand, so he delivered some from his ex-house, dropping friend back off when he did so. On the way out, he once again stole Phil’s door on the way out, explaining that Friend didn't seem to like going through open doors. When Fundy asked about Friend in chat, he stated "He is the girlfriend of mine," in Dutch, implying that the two moved past the platonic stage of their relationship and have since begun dating. Though it is possible that Ghostbur meant the female variant of a platonic friend, his usage of predominantly male pronouns for Friend in the conversation, and his subsequent clarification in English, calls that assertion into question.
He watched Tubbo give Phil a cursed monitor anklet, questioning why he was being nice, and offered to kill him canonically as retaliation with his crossbow. He fired a single shot as a warning, before apologizing immediately. He offered to enchant a fake monitor helmet for Phil, after accidentally making the decoy plan known to Tubbo. He sided with Phil in his attempts to avoid the helmet monitor.
When given the cursed helmet to look at, Wilbur equipped it, and it got stuck, so he was placed under mock house arrest with Phil. He offered to shoot himself to get it off, and requested for Antfrost to kill him in order to get it off. He once again voiced concern about Tubbo changing ideologically. Ghostbur called Tubbo out for his altering of L’Manberg’s idea of freedom, but the topic was lost, and he instead opted to praise Tubbo’s presidency, avoiding the topic.
Juicio Final[]
(Artículo: Guerra del Juicio Final)
After having spent a little time away from the community, Ghostbur arrived at L'Manberg just in time to see the aftermath of the Doomsday War. He was spotted by Nihachu, who didn't know that he existed, and assumed that he was a hallucination. He voiced despair at Friend’s death, and yelled at Phil after discovering that he’d helped destroy L’Manberg, finally spilling his frustrations. He joined the fleeing L’Manbergians, letting Tommy know that he’d finally decided he wanted to be revived, and that only Dream could help him.
He asked for opinions on the issues of Schlatt’s and Alivebur’s presidency, before Fundy arrived in order to explain his antagonism. Ghostbur acted uncomfortable around his son’s distress, leaving with Quackity to talk. While talking, Quackity lied to Ghostbur about the continued existence of the Community House. Quackity told Ghostbur that he was upset when Alivebur died, prompting Ghostbur to wonder how disliked he really was. After meeting Eret on their walk, Ghostbur voiced his weird opinion on him, claiming to like him. He then went on to keep voicing that he wanted to be killed (resurrected) in a lighthearted voice.
When trying to find who could revive him, Eret suggested that Phil could bring him back. Having already forgotten his argument with him, he contacted his father in an attempt to get resurrected. He and Phil planned to attempt the resurrection on the 10th of January. After asking Phil his opinion on the detonation, he asked for his opinion on rebuilding, but talked over Eret’s hesitation. On his way out, he came across the real Community House, but didn’t think much of it.
First resurrection attempt[]
artículo principal: Wilbur's resurrection
Shortly before his revival, Ghostbur turned up at the scene, searching for Friend. He mentioned how he found Friend the last few times, to which Phil and Eret questioned aloud if Dream had lied to him about the legitimacy of Friend's identity. Despite that, he decided to go out and try and find the reincarnation of Friend while the setup for the resurrection continued anyway, describing how he initially spawned in the arctic, and how Dream found him in L'Manberg.
Upon the completion of Eret's resurrection shrine, he, Phil, and Ranboo made their way towards it in order to begin the resurrection. They went through the process once, only interrupted by Ghostbur's fear of death, but the resurrection did not work. Ghostbur found himself in some sort of state of death, coming into contact with two figures, (presumably Schlatt and either Mexican Dream or some version of Alivebur.) but he didn't have time to identify them before returning to life. Frustrated, the group decided to go and find Friend, worried they'd missed something. While there, Fundy tagged along, willing to lend a hand.
They returned to the shrine for the second time, upon which they sped through the ritual once more. However, it failed once more. Ghostbur disappeared, and the voice of Schlatt rang out, as if the resurrection process had disturbed him. When he came back, he stated that he'd only seen one figure, instead of two, and began to act strangely, as if Schlatt had left a strange impression on his spirit. Shaken, he initially wanted to go and do it again, but the group decided to hold off on it so that they could get a totem of undying for the next attempt. Feeling unwell, Ghostbur agreed, leaving for the rest of the day.
Mourning Arc[]
Second Return[]
Ghostbur later appeared on March 14th after a long absence. He strangely claimed that it had been days since he last spoke to Tommy but it had been weeks since Ghostbur had been seen on the server and Tommy had been locked in the prison for a few weeks. Ghostbur had a conversation with Tommy, seemingly struggling to grasp with Alivebur’s worse state, and sometimes forgetting L’Manberg’s state of destruction. Tommy asked Ghostbur if he knew about him talking to Wilbur in the afterlife but Ghostbur told him he had no idea Tommy had even died.
He traveled to Snowchester to see MICHAEL, and came across Connor on the way back, having entirely forgotten his presence. Connor returned his knife to him, and Ghostbur asked for his crossbow, Chekhov's Gun, back, only to find it’d been destroyed. Ghostbur accompanied Tommy to his Prison Break Watchtower, watching them build it as it rained.
He continued to hang around with Ranboo and Tubbo, complimenting Ranboo’s appearance. Ghostbur claimed to have been sleeping for a long time when Ranboo asked where he’d been, citing his resurrection as a stressful time. He claimed that he returned when he learned that Tommy needed him, because Tubbo told him about it. He proceeded to ask Ranboo more about the plan to kill Dream, openly wondering about what Ranboo was so scared about.
Ranboo explained to Ghostbur that Dream is manipulative, to which he seemed confused, asking again what he could do. Ranboo talked about resurrecting people, and Ghostbur missed his point, assuming that Mexican Dream was the main threat. He wondered about the Alivebur resurrection, mentioning that some people were still keen on it, and voicing that he was scared of death.
Ghostbur mentioned reading Alivebur’s now-destroyed memoirs, and talked about how, prior to the Election, he was actually alright. He also brought up how he was likely scarred, and that he had good intentions. Ghostbur reiterated his belief that the world needs a leader, and decided he would help the person who ended up in charge however he could. He disappeared after talking about going to get snacks, and returned briefly to dispense blue and hand Ranboo some of the food.
Authorship[]
Much like his living self, Ghostbur has a continued interest and passion for literature, and has spent a long time reading about the past of L'Manberg. He has continued to create important documents where possible, and it is rumored that he has been working on more unrevealed books.
L'Manberg National Anthem - Originally started by Alivebur, this is a formal written version of the L'Manberg National Anthem. It was finished and published by Ghostbur after his death.
What I Remember - This is a personal list of Ghostbur's memories, compiled in response to his increasingly faulty recollection of the past. Ghostbur would forget writing this book shortly after its signing, likely due to the emotional strain of authoring it.
Items[]
Unlike Alivebur, Ghostbur has a much higher amount of personal tools that he keeps on his person, named and attached to his identity. Alongside these items, since he has emptied his Ender Chest of literature into an actual library (that has unfortunately been destroyed), he keeps resources such as ores in his chest. Though the majority of his historical book collection has been lost in the Doomsday War, one book remains safe in his ender chest. It is not yet clear which book it is, though.
| Personal items | |
|---|---|
| Name | Notes |
| Mending; Piercing IV; Quick Charge III; and Unbreaking III
Usually loaded with Spectral Arrows, as Ghostbur mainly uses these. Was in Tommy’s possession, but was blown up by Dream. | |
| Efficiency V; Fortune II; Mending; Unbreaking III
Was in Tommy’s possession, but has since been blown up by Dream. | |
| Archivo:Blue Dye.png Blue |
Blue Dye Ghostbur gives out, saying "have some blue, calm yourself". It is said to start out transparent and turn blue when it absorbs sadness. Ghostbur's blue has never been seen in a transparent state. |
| Archivo:EnchantedDiamondSword.gif Ghostbur's Stabbing Knife | Sharpness IV; Unbreaking III
A sword personalized to Ghostbur's name. He doesn't seem to use it as much as the crossbow. It was later given to Connor before he gave it back. |

| Archivo:Blue Sheep JE4.png | Alive
(Died Twice, but supposedly has infinite canon lives) |
The button room or Dream's vault | Friend is a blue sheep Ghostbur took as a pet while on his way back from Technoblade's cabin for his execution. Ghostbur accidentally killed him, and immediately repressed the memory. Phil also mentioned that friend has infinite canonical lives. Dream rescued Friend after his respawn at L'Manberg and brought him to Ghostbur.
Friend was killed a second time when L'Manberg was destroyed, along with Philza's House, he was later found by Philza during Ghostbur's resurrection. Friend's status as a "pet" is debatable due to the presumably romantic relationship between him and Ghostbur. His infinite respawning is also questionable, as it is very likely that both Phil and Dream lied about it to make Ghostbur feel better. When Dream took Tommy and Tubbo down into the vault, he revealed all of the things that people on the server cared about. A version of Friend was there, but it is unknown if this was the actual Friend. Ghostbur still seems to believe that Friend is dead, even though he is still in Dream's Vault, as shown on Ranboo's stream. |

Relationships[]

| Ghostbur followed after Dream as he banished Tommy, something that he thought was a holiday vacation initially, blissfully unaware of Dream's manipulation. Ghostbur seemed to try to grapple with the idea that Dream was a bad guy, but the sentiment didn't seem to stick in his mind.
Although Ghostbur was supposed to give out the invitations to Tommy's Beach Party, when Dream stopped him, he followed Dream's instructions without a second thought, implying that Ghostbur does not see any reason to distrust him. Ghostbur doesn't seem to understand that Dream was lying to him, even when being informed of his manipulative tendencies. He seems to be fond of Dream and doesn't refer to him as an enemy. However, he does feel fear towards him on occasion, recognizing his power. | ||
| Ghostbur and Eret used to be on strained terms, as Ghostbur only remembered Eret's involvement in the War for Independence through his reading on the history of L'Manberg. He used to voice a supposed dislike, especially after Eret's attempt to adopt Fundy, which placed a significant amount of stress upon his shoulders. However, Ghostbur has come to like Eret, acknowledging that he must've done something bad, but lacking the heart to continue blaming him for it. Ghostbur has even offered to rewrite him into the anthem in a positive light, once again treating him like a good friend. | ||
| Archivo:RelationshipNeutral LargePixelArt.png Neutral | Ghostbur recalls Fundy fondly and has made multiple attempts to connect with him, though Fundy is incredibly resistant to his advances, holding a lot of resentment towards him. Ghostbur is desperate to restore his relationship with Fundy. He does not seem to fully understand the scope of his past neglect, though, and seems to keep treating his son like a baby, much to Fundy's annoyance. | |
| Archivo:Relationship Neutral HD.png Neutral | When Ghostbur first met Lazar, the two were on good terms, and Ghostbur was even nice to Lazar by trying to sell him and Vikkstar a home. However, later on, Tommy and Ghostbur trapped Lazar in an alleyway and "mugged" him. Despite this, the two seem to be on neutral terms, and there don't seem to be any lasting hard feelings between the two. | |
| Archivo:RelationshipNeutral LargePixelArt.png Neutral | Nihachu was close friends with Alivebur, and is one of the only people who Ghostbur completely remembers. This is because Alivebur had zero to none bad memories with her.
However, despite remembering her, Ghostbur and Niki have never interacted. This is because Niki does not know that he exists, and only recently discovered that Alivebur was even dead. The two have only ever interacted once, and the sight of him caused Nihachu to have a panic attack. She also thought she was hallucinating, which helped cause her spiral into villainy. | |
| Ghostbur does recall that Phil was the one to kill him, but does not seem to remember why. It's hard to decipher how he feels about the situation with his now limited knowledge of the past. Despite that, Ghostbur seems to enjoy spending time with Phil, and is eager to be around him, and Phil is equally fond of his son. Ghostbur set up a small noteblock piano in front of Phil as a sort of personal concert, and played "Mary had a Little Lamb". Phil placed a sign on the front labeling Ghostbur the "best musician in town", much to Ghostbur's happiness.
Ghostbur seems to prefer asking Phil questions about sad things over anyone else. For example, after being yelled at by Fundy, Ghostbur's first instinct was to go to Phil to ask him how terrible of a person he was. When Phil responded honestly (and a little vaguely), Ghostbur expressed gratefulness towards him, instead of his usual resistance. After L'Manberg was destroyed in the Doomsday, Ghostbur was very upset at Phil for teaming up with Dream and Technoblade and destroying the nation; he also blamed Phil for the death of Friend. This interaction briefly hurt their bond, but Ghostbur promptly forgot it happening, and continued to think of Phil fondly. It's not clear how their argument will affect their future relationship. | ||
| Immediately after the events of the Manberg-Pogtopia war, they seemed to be on tentative new terms after Wilbur's reappearance as a ghost, though Quackity had some lasting issues with Wilbur as a direct result of its detonation. Ghostbur has expressed a desire to be Quackity's friend. After the butcher execution, he wondered aloud if everyone was against Quackity.
On Doomsday, Quackity shared his grief, and he was open to sing the L'Manberg National Anthem with Ghostbur one last time. Ghostbur properly expressed his desire to repair their relationship, and Quackity revealed that he'd been saddened upon his death, which seemed to cheer Ghostbur up. The two split apart on good terms. | ||
| Ghostbur seems to be fond of Ranboo, though he voiced concerns about his lack of moral ties, likening him to the character of Aaron Burr from the musical "Hamilton". However, when Ranboo explained that he only had loyalty to those who help him, Ghostbur seemed to understand. The two bonded somewhat on the journey to check on Technoblade after the butcher assault, finding common ground in their bad memory and their aversion to rain and water.
On March 14th, Ranboo and Ghostbur talk some more. Even though Ghostbur disagrees with the plot to kill Dream, Ghostbur and Ranboo seem to be friends. Ranboo feels safe letting Ghostbur be around MICHEAL, and Ghostbur brings Ranboo some snacks. | ||
| Archivo:RelationshipNeutral LargePixelArt.png Neutral | Ghostbur does not remember who Schlatt is at all, having blocked out all of his harmful memories. He seems to be faintly curious about him, having no strong opinions either way on him. Ghostbur seems to be more concerned with the idea that he may have at one point been worse than Schlatt in life. He later states that Schlatt was one of the "bad guys".
| |
| It would appear that, in his undead state, Ghostbur does not remember their alliance. Despite this, he has a positive relationship with Techno, even though he has a limited memory. He seemed to react positively to Techno's suggestion of calling the Lads on Tour the "Clown Circus", almost adopting the name despite Tommy's protests. He has also offered Technoblade some Blue, which is often used as a symbol of his friendship, which was accepted.
Despite being in a high-stress situation, Techno took the time to ensure Ghostbur's safety during his preparation for the Butcher attack, attempting to send him away to save him from the violence. Though Ghostbur didn't understand the weight of the execution, he accompanied the group all the way, excited to be around him. Later, when assessing the situation, he voiced a dislike for the discrimination against Technoblade that L'Manberg was enforcing, taking his friend's side in the Butcher situation. After hearing of Technoblade's destruction during Doomsday, Ghostbur reacted with disbelief. It's not yet clear if he has altered his stance on his friend as a result. | ||
| Ghostbur does not fully remember the context of Alivebur and Tommy's relationship. Ghostbur has stated that no matter what, he intends to support Tommy.
After Tommy's exile, Ghostbur displayed a willingness to keep following him, reaffirming his intent to help, even though he remained unaware of Tommy's permanent exile. Ghostbur considered Tommy to be a close friend, even though Tommy seems to consider himself as being fundamentally alone. Ghostbur is less insistent on being different from the alive Wilbur when he's with Tommy, largely for his sake. He appears to be less distressed about his past identity around Tommy, though it is not clear how much of his altered attitude is an act played in order to keep Tommy happy. Despite disliking lying, and typically being very bad at it, Ghostbur covered for Tommy without hesitation, so it is clear that he cares for his brother-figure very, very strongly. He has since gifted Tommy his significant items, potentially in preparation for his departure from the server. | ||
| Ghostbur and Tubbo seem to have repaired their relationship, and seem to be on friendly terms, having come to peace even through Tommy's exile.
After the butcher execution, Ghostbur called Tubbo into question, wondering if he was straying from the beliefs that L'Manberg was built upon. Phil later informed him that Tubbo was no longer a good guy. It is not yet clear if Ghostbur has taken this to heart, but he does seem to have seriously considered the notion that Tubbo has changed for the worse, later remarking that Tubbo was "being mean". | ||
| Archivo:Relationship SlightlyNegative LargePixelArt.png Neutral/Negativo | As a fully separate identity to his past self, Ghostbur lacks a significant knowledge about Alivebur's actions. Regardless, Ghostbur is solid in identifying him as a danger to L'Manberg, and a villain to the Greater Dream SMP, leaping at any chance to slander his past identity and thinking of Phil as a hero for ending his life.
Despite being wholly against his past identity, Ghostbur has acknowledged that Alivebur managed to lead L'Manberg through the longest period of peace the nation ever experienced, and as a result, his opinion of him is not explicitly negative. | |

Trivialidades[]
- In life, Wilbur often refused to wear armor (initially due to a peaceful mindset, and later due to a lack of self-preservation). However, in death, he does not seem to share this same ideology, readily wearing any armor that is offered to him.
- Despite having once be able to recall her and even saying that that a fish Fundy was holding was going to make him act up, Ghostbur does not remember Sally, even though he was once in a romantic relationship with her.
- It would appear that, despite being dead, Ghostbur has a continued sexual attraction to salmon. This continues to make his family uncomfortable.
- Wilbur's favorite food is salmon.
- In the book that Ghostbur wrote, What I Remember, he writes that he used to spar with Techno when they were kids.
- Ghostbur's memories are increasingly unreliable. He falsely claimed that Fundy is only 14 years old.
- Ghostbur likes to hand people what he calls "Blue", an item that supposedly starts transparent and turns blue when it absorbs sadness. Notably, none of Ghostbur's "Blue" has ever been transparent. This might suggest that Ghostbur's sadness is so strong, that before he can give "Blue" to someone, it always fills up, or that Blue is not a real sadness absorber.
- He is persistently trying to remember his past, but dwelling on the topic for too long usually results in him forgetting anything of value.
- After the first death of Friend, Ghostbur considered becoming vegetarian. This implies that ghosts eat.
- Ghostbur referred to Friend as his girlfriend, despite Friend being presumably male, and everyone exclusively using male pronouns for him. It’s not yet clear why, but this implies that he is not as straight as once assumed.
- Ghostbur is incapable of drinking alcohol, as it burns him. He seems to suffer no adverse effects from consuming potions, however.
- Each time Ghostbur dies, he jokes that "another G is added to his name." He has been killed twice now, so his name would be GGGhostbur.
- Ghostbur stated that he cannot smell.
- Ghostbur is afraid and uncomfortable with rain as it 'burns' him because he is a ghost.
