Full Backstories of Every Phasmophobia Character

For players seeking to understand the game’s lore or choose a character, here’s a detailed breakdown of each ghost hunter’s backstory. This information may also provide context for future content, including the upcoming Phasmophobia movie and the full 1.0 release.

Amir Kelly

Amir is a hacker who feels most at home behind a computer screen. Despite being told to "find a job and get a life," he somehow ended up in this line of work.

Nic Karlsen

Nic is a quiet, soft-spoken Professor of Parapsychology. His beliefs were once dismissed, but his new position has given them credibility. He was previously nicknamed "Professor Spooky," a title that continues to follow him.

Vince Ravenhill

Vince was wrongly accused of a crime and served time in prison. After his release, he sought a second chance in life. The Ghost Hunting Division (GHD) was one of the few organizations that offered him that opportunity. Known for his friendly demeanor, his "golden retriever" personality may now be at risk in his grim new lifestyle.

Robin Byrne

Robin is a gifted, cocky individual who enjoys playing devil’s advocate. Despite his intelligence, he remains unsure of his life’s direction, which is why he now risks it all to figure it out.

Bryce Noble

Bryce is the unspoken leader of the GHD recruits. After being forced into early retirement from the army, he now seeks an excuse to avoid returning to civilian life.

Dustin Park

Dustin is often told he doesn’t take anything seriously—especially by his mother. However, he remains unbothered by the criticism. This position with GHD is the second high-stakes job he’s landed, suggesting he might care more than he lets on.

Winona Fields

Winona is a skeptic at her core. She only believes what she sees—and even then, she requires additional proof. Her work with GHD has introduced her to strange and terrifying phenomena.

Kira Calcada

Kira is a former competitive athlete who transitioned into ghost hunting after a career-ending injury. Her competitive drive now fuels her pursuit of the supernatural.

Grace Xu

Grace is a medical professional with a deep interest in the paranormal. Her expertise in trauma and emergency care makes her an invaluable asset to the GHD team.

Evie Petrova

Evie is a historian with a passion for the occult. Her knowledge of ancient rituals and supernatural lore makes her a key member of the team.

Meg Marrs

Meg is a journalist who specializes in investigating paranormal activity. Her skepticism has been tested repeatedly, leading her to document the unexplained with an open mind.

Zara Doshi

Zara is a tech entrepreneur who developed advanced ghost-hunting equipment. Her inventions have revolutionized the way the GHD operates, making her an essential part of the team.
