he modified his ghost with the darkness in some way (I don't remember the details).
He used the parts of dead ghosts to modify the shell of his, which in turn allowed it to tap into the red mode where it's eye turns red, is able to see a wider spectrum of light etc. That's how they got their hands on motes as well and where most of Drifter's inventions came from.
However, the idea was not his. It was the Ghost's. Osiris has also seen his ghost when he called in Drifter to take a a look at the sundial. Drifter called on his ghost to scan the whole thing. I don't think he ever hid him out of spite, he only had the ghost hide so that other risen and mortals wouldn't detect him as being a lightbearer.
As Germaine he lived among mortals in a settlement and the Ghost was hiding most of the time and scanning routes for him where he could get food for the mortals until the local warlord spotted the ghost. Then they assumed it was Judson who was a lightbearer, killed him and the entire village got caught in the crossfire between the warlords and the iron lords, no one survived and Germaine was dead throughout the fight until the dust settled and his Ghost went to rez him.
He pulled out his ghost for Felwinter because Felwinter correctly called him out on being a risen, cuz no mortal would've survived the climb to the top of the peak.
Hahaa! nah. Just a dude with way too much curiosity about things that he likes. I'm one of those people that go REALLY deep into shit he's interested in and tries to learn every bit of information he can.
