The CAS hates the NAN, The NAN hates UCAS, UCAS tries to get on with various
nations at various times but relations always seem tense, Japan has grown in
power, Europe has fallen to pieces and _everyone_ hates Atzlan.

I think Wordman says it better, have a look at;

They will come from a metaplane to earth at the height of the mana cycle
(about 4030 something, Harlequin recons mankind will have created
magical/cybernetic weapons sufficient to fight them by then). They like
eating things; some just feed on living things, others feed on emotions (and
do things that would put Francis Bacon off his lunch in order to get them).
They are basicly evil on a stick.

The Great Ghost Dance created a mana spike which some of them got a cross
in. Some of the low powered ones can survive 2060's mana level. They would
have got to earth sooner but a team of three Shadowrunners by the names of
Bypass, Amber and Silvermane along with an Immortal Elf called Harlequin
found a woman called Thayla on the metaplanes whose voice was enough to keep
them from getting to Earth. :)>

Wraiths are an example of Horror constructs, and in my world so do;

For more information take a gander at Harlequin's Back or pretty much
anything Earthdawn.
