Phantom

Phantom

Phantom was formerly a reconnaissance scout and assassin for the former chief of the Exceed tribe. After discovering that the Palico were relying on Corruption to win the war between the two tribes, the chief sent Phantom off their island to seek help in ridding the Palico of the Corruption Ritual that was placed at the center of their village.

During his hunt for assistance, Phantom was picked up by the airship of Maximilian Caelos V. He was taken to meet and speak to Adam Faera about his request for help for his people. He agreed to work with a team Adam Faera was putting together and in exchange, he was promised that the team would first go to his island to help with the Palico and Exceed problem. He also was given a fancy ball of silky yarn as payment for his assistance.

Him and his new team broke the Palico's corruption ritual and freed not only the island, but the enemy tribe of Felis from the hold the corruption had on them. After succeeding at the job Phantom was sent out to do, he continued traveling with his new team to assist them.
After meeting Samuel Eshpard under Loredas and witnessing Chaos magic for the first time, Phantom aggressively began learning the magic style himself, wanting to achieve the kind of power that Sam used to destroy the shades under the floating continent. At a later time, when traveling on the airship along with Sam, he asked for some personal lessons on Chaos magic and eventually learned how to differentiate the physical and metaphysical elements when casting a Chaos magic spell.
After Jakki joined their team, Phantom quickly took to him and befriended him, learning Time magic from him, as well.

While exploring a cave system in Deridas, they discovered a civilization of Kobolds. Phantom took to one of the first they encountered, a small Kobold wielding an axe. Phantom offered him his fish rations and quickly befriended the Kobold. He decided to take the Kobold in, named him Axew , and the two quickly became inseparable partners and best friends. Phantom would often travel by sitting on Axew's head when he'd get tired of flying.

Upon their return to the island while searching for the pieces to the key to The Lighthouse, they came face to face with Nalfien , the dark elf who gave Corruption to the Palico. Phantom stood up for his people and denied Nalfein's offers of 'power' from the Corruption. After this, the chief of the Exceed handed the key fragment to Phantom, and also passed down leadership of the Exceed to Phantom before passing away. Phantom left the village in the control of one of the best Exceed warriors for the time being before leaving with his team once more to find the rest of the key fragments.

  After finding the remaining members of Ifrah's tribe, Phantom offered to let them move to the island and begin life anew. He offered the same to a group of Canid the group freed from slavery.

Phantom used his nice ball of yarn to create friendship bracelets for himself, Asch Figthorn, Ifrah, Jakki, Crux and Axew. Phantom felt especially betrayed when Asch turned out to be working for the resurrection of Balimor.
When it finally came time to fight Balimor and Sam became a vessel for Balimor to make his destruction easier, Phantom ripped out his own magical spark, a concept he learned after gaining interest from visiting the Avalon School of Blood Magic, in order to weaken Balimor even more and successfully destroy him completely. Phantom, now lacking his magic, took Sam's shepherd's crook and refused to give it back to the gods that had helped them. The shepherd's crook never left Phantom's grasp throughout his remaining years.

Upon Phantom's return to the island, he discovered the Exceed and Palico living together peacefully for the first time he had ever seen. Not only that, they were living with the Avia and Canid's peacefully. The Exceed and Palico together decided to declare Phantom the chief and leader of not only the Exceed, but of the entire island, which he decided to name Unity as a reminder of the different races coming together and living as one civilization. He and some other Felis worked together to create a statue in honor of Sam in the middle of Unity. As a symbol of the two tribe's unity, as well, Phantom adopted a young Palico kitten who's parents were killed by the Corruption that once plagued their village.

A few years later, while Tasir was still a kitten, the island would be invaded by Shadir - God of Hatred. Despite no longer having magic, Phantom and Axew agreed to help Femirex Alder and Alumes fight off Shadir. Not only having his entire island to protect, but more importantly, protect his son. The fight against Shadir was difficult, and Phantom almost lost his life. However, Axew willingly took a hit for his friend and lost his leg, much to Phantom's dismay. They managed to stabilize Axew and keep him living, and Phantom was able to get a prosthetic leg for his friend through connections he gained from his fellow Godkiller friends.

After Tasir sets off on his own journey to Iocrias and returns with not only a way to allow Phantom to fly with him one time, but the news that Asch had been killed, Phantom passed leadership of Unity to Tasir and happily passed on. He now lives in the Afterlight alongside his son's friend, Aria Luxord.
