80s passing

in the very first iteration of the band Ghost's lore, Papa Emeritus I was counted as a Nameless Ghoul.

rather than describing the band as "Papa Emeritus I and a group of Nameless Ghouls", the band's old Myspace page describes them as six Nameless Ghouls. note the inclusion of Papa's face paint!

Standing motionless and anonymous beneath the painted faces, hoods and robes which their sect demand, the six nameless ghouls of Ghost deliver litanies of sexually pulsating heavy rock music and romantic lyrics, which glorify and glamorise the disgusting and sacrilegious [...] Ghost official Myspace page (2010)

Papa himself also acknowledged his status as a Nameless Ghoul. in one interview, Papa says that they chose to be nameless because Ghost's audience are not meant to focus on any individual members of the band. the members of the band aren't supposed to have distinct identities.

You refer to yourselves as a group of nameless spirits - should this be taken literally? Is the band actually something other than human? “To make it easier for mortals to deal with the fact that we, as individuals, have no significance in this experience, we have chosen to act as ghosts - hollow and diffuse.” Sweden Rock Magazine #76 (November 2010)
