Fictional Character Biography

According to Team Fantomen

It was probably the second Phantom who made Walker's Table a home of the Phantom by making a Spainiard king give it to him. His father had never visited the place but instead heard his father talk about it, and from the stories, the 2nd Phantom managed to find and visit it.

The 2nd Phantom is also said to have a short temper and was a little bit short of patience.¹

He married four women, the first being Elena, the forth an English woman of simple descent, named Ann or Anne.

In 1565 he participated in the defense of Malta together with his father against the turkish sultan Suleiman and witnessed as his father was badly wounded but survived. He and his father then returned to Bangalla but the means of traveling were not so advanced in those days so they returned to the Skull Cave first in February 1566, by then the 1st Phantom's powers were finished and he died in the Skull Cave shortly after that the 2nd Phantom, 18 years old at the time, had sworn the Oath of the Phantom and thereby taken up the mantle and becoming the 2nd Phantom.

In 1569, he met the love of his life in Italy. She was named Felicia, but unfortunately, she was tragically killed when she destroyed the plans of a battle wagon that could be used for evil purposes. Night of the Jugglers The Demon in the Tower The 2nd Phantom appears to have remained unmarried for a very long time after that loss, having a son first in 1586, around 17 years later, and then probably having married a year or so earlier (as things tends to be in the Phantom family).

In the last years of his very long life (compared to other Phantoms), he found out that his son had left school and joined Shakespeare in order to become an actor. Enraged, the 2nd Phantom left Bangalla and went to London, where he saw his son acting as Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet", the scene probably made him explode, though that is not explicitly stated in his chronicle. ¹

He tried to bring his son back but the son refused and told his father to let the tradition end with him. The 2nd Phantom then became totally silent, then turned around and travelled back to Bangalla. Later, he came to be mortally wounded, the ring was then sent to his son, carried by Duran, the chief of the Bandars. His son, then accepted the ring and went back to Bangalla, just in time to swear the Oath of the Phantom, before the 2nd Phantom died.

According to Moonstone

The 2nd Phantom was born on May 28, 1556 to the 1st Phantom and Christina. As an infant, he was kidnapped by his mother's cousin who was a member of the Singh Brotherhood, but saved by his father. Blackguard
