Dead Beat[]

In Dead Beat, the body of Alicia Nelson had been stolen, or occupied, by Corpsetaker and is the one that Anastasia Luccio ended up getting when Corpsetaker forced her out of her own body. Just prior to this, Luccio had stabbed this body with her sword during their sword fight and that's when the Corpsetaker switched bodies.[4] Waldo Butters tended to her wounds and they turned out not as fatal as Luccio originally believed.[5]
