Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom's History
The true origins of the infamous Phantom of the Opera remain a mystery. Some claim that he was a prisoner of the Ottoman Empire who was mutilated by his captors before escaping. Others say he was a brilliant composer who's face was horribly burned by acid during a fight. Still other stories claim he was born with his deformities and escaped from a traveling freak show as a child.

Whatever his past, the Phantom hid from society in the sewers and former dungeons beneath the Paris Opera House. He remained a loner until he met a young singer named Christine Daea, who he fell in love with. Under the Phantom's teaching, Christine soon became a star with her magnificent voice. However, the Phantom soon became dangerous when Christine was reunited with an old childhood friend, who she favored over the mysterious, domineering Phantom. This, combined with the Opera House's refusal to cast Christine in leading roles, led to a reign of terror as the Phantom struck back.
