Ragamuffin was a 400-year-old (as mentioned in issue #13) vampire who fed upon the flesh of the living. One night he attacked a young woman and ate her, but unfortunately, her sister, who happened to be a powerful witch, witnessed the scene. The witch cursed him and mutated him into a doll. A drop of Lenore's blood eventually returned him to consciousness, but since her blood was mixed with embalming fluid the curse was only partially lifted: he will never cease to be a doll. (He was briefly reverted into his original body at the end of issue #11, but returned to his rag doll form in the last frame of issue #12).
