Retribution appears to be the spirit of retribution. When an act needs retaliation, Retribution is there. He semi-narrated horror/suspense stories, acting as retribution for those needing retaliation but could not do it themselves. He achieved retribution for an Egyptian priestess and for an old, rich uncle.

He either appeared in solid or ghostly form and dressed in a dark blue hooded robe trimmed in white. Judging by his face, he appeared to be a Caucasian man in his mid to late 30's. Whether he was a real man with super powers or a real spirit is unknown.
