A lot of the information in this article is erroneous. For example (unless proved otherwise in the graphic novels), Odd has reason to believe the Todd origin of his name is fabricated, and it is heavily implied if not outright stated that the inability of ghosts to speak is by design, not by choice (as a few of them make many frantic attempts to do so).

If I knew how to properly cite these facts, I would edit myself... Aryst0krat (talk) 02:24, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty clearly stated at the end of the second book (when Odd "dies"), that the dead do speak, it's just that the living either don't hear, or choose not to. Although after this supposed revalation, Odd goes on to later ponder why the dead don't speak.
