Banquo
Banquo a character in Shakespeare's Macbeth who is murdered on Macbeth's orders, and whose ghost subsequently appears at Macbeth's banqueting table, invisible to all except Macbeth himself. He embodies both a reminder of Macbeth's guilt, and the warning that his usurpation of power will ultimately fail.
