Faust is a descendant of the original Faustus, a man who made a pact with the devil. In Shaman King, Faust the eighth was a lonely boy who had only one friend, named Eliza. But Eliza suffered from a deadly disease that no cure, so Faust devoted his life to find one and evetually did it. He became a doctor, saved Eliza's life and married her. They lived together in their clinic in Germany until one night a burglar broke in and shot Eliza dead.<br /> <br /> Broken Faust turned to his ancestor's black arts, necromancy, and now fights in order to become the Shaman King and bring Eliza back to life.<br /> <br /> His spirit is Eliza herself, and his medium is her skeleton, which is always tied to Faust's arm in a chain.<br /><br />
