Born in 1704 as the fourth and youngest son of the 8th Phantom and his British wife, he was given the name Kit-Four. His three older brothers were triplets born in 1703, and named Kit-One, Kit-Two, and Kit-Three.
Kit-Four was much smaller than his brothers and was called "The Runt". When his older brothers travelled to England in 1715 to be educated, he stayed in the Jungle and trained hard to get stronger, but never became a tall man. His brothers returned seven years later, only to tell their father that they were hoping to pursue their careers instead of becoming the Phantom, and return to England again.

Kit-Four then travelled to Vhatun Dhatun, where he fought and defeated Khan's 6-foot tall daughter, the 18-year old warrior princess Vhatta Khan. Vhatta followed Kit-Four to the Deep Woods, where he became the 9th Phantom. They were going to be married by the Council of Chiefs, when Jhatun Khan appeared, only to give them his blessing and wed them himself. The Fourth Son

In 1735 he sailed a burning ship against the pirate ship Barracuda in the harbor of Bengalitown after the pirates had captured it. He had to jump from the ship just as it exploded. The explosion made him blind. The pirates caught him hand brought him with them. However, Barracuda was in so bad condition that it sank after a few days. The pirates had realized that the ship would sink soon and therefore made sure that it sank near the coast. The 9th Phantom was left onboard and went down to the bottom of the sea with Barracuda. A small portion of air was kept in the wreck so he could survive for a while inside it. Desperately searching through the wreck, he finally found a hole that had been torn up by the explosion. He reached the surface and started to swim, his only mean of finding a direction to swim at was to listen for the sound of the waves hitting the beach. He managed to reach land and collapsed there. Hours later, his son found him there and brought him back to the Skull Cave where he died two days later. The Treasure of the Barracuda
