Phantom of the Opera

, Class Name , is an Assassin-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
==Profile==
===Identity===
A masked killer. The mysterious person who appeared in “”, a novel set in the 19th Century――perhaps, the person who became its model. Settling down and inhabiting in an aqueduct that is like a vast underground labyrinth beneath the opera house (), he was charmed by a young and chaste actress who was viewed as purity itself, even guiding her into becoming a diva, and conducted serial murders on behalf of his unfulfilled love.
Fate/Grand Order material II - Phantom of the Opera, p.046-055, translated by Kinalvin at Reddit.
===Appearance===
A man who conceals his accursed and grotesque face with a mask modelled after a skull.
Due to his Innocent Monster Skill, he, who is the model for “The Phantom of the Opera” novel character, has received the influence of that work and his face has changed into something grotesque, and both of his arms also already transformed into something that belongs to those of a grotesque monster's. If he completely removes his black gloves, claws that are even more sharper and dangerous than large knives are stretched out, and both grotesque hands become exposed out in the open.
===Personality===
Fundamentally, he is gentlemanly, normally. However, he is not a true gentleman; rather, he is doing no more than consistently playing the part of “himself as a gentleman”. An enormous sorrow and anger are being hidden beneath his mask, and he is deeply conscious that once they start to overflow, a tragedy will be brought forth.
He constantly works to restrain himself and kill that impulse. While holding conversations, he openly sings to show that his suppression of those impulses is being effective. But if he stops singing, evidence of his real nature as the “Phantom of the Opera” begins to appear, a figure who is insane and viewed as cold-hearted by dealing with the obstacles in his path through their elimination, becoming a slaughterer if it is for the sake of his purpose. He likes girls with a beautiful voice. At such a girl where his eyes are affixed to her, he will also appeal that “she will mature into a diva if she is under his guidance.”
As for the Master, he somehow becomes emotionally attached to them while saying “what a magnificently beautiful voice.” He is mixing them up with the diva of his past. Although he acquired an insanity because of his Mental Pollution, he is very obedient as a Servant. However, because those utterances are always like conversational singing, practically, what he is trying to say aren’t transmitted very well.
The wish he wants to make on the Holy Grail is “for the diva that he guided to receive the honor of being the best in the world.” If possible, he wants to bring up the Master as a diva (regardless of gender). Therefore, he will probably care for the Master more than anything else.

==Role==
===Fate/Grand Order===
====First Singularity: Orleans====
Under Jeanne Alter's command, the Phantom controlled the ruins of Lyon.
In search of the Dragon Slayer spoken of by Martha, Ritsuka's party encountered the Phantom after fighting off the undead in the city. After he is defeated, the Phantom remarks that his mission is already complete, though he would never be rewarded. He warns Jeanne d'Arc that her evil has grown more powerful than her, and that they should run to the ends of the earth as the Evil Dragon arrives. Before he continues with more ominous warnings, Mozart finishes him off.
====Miss Almost Weekly Santa Alter====
When Gaius Julius Caesar is mistaken for Santa Claus, the Phantom was made by him to sign off as the buyer of Darius III‘s possessions. Unable to get Christine as his present, he wallows in sorrow when Caesar runs off.
Later, he voices his lamentations aloud about Christine along with his frustrations at couples, Santa Claus, and Christmas, and claims that it makes him think Christmas is called a night for loved ones. However, when Santa Alter reveals and introduces herself as Santa Claus, he becomes enraged and tries to kill her for her presents. After he is defeated by Santa Alter, the Phantom is left depressed by the realization of what he had done. Then, after confirming Darius III as the same Darius that wrote a letter to Santa Claus, he is given Christine as his present.
==== Event: Prisma Causeway ====
The Phantom and Edward Teach overhear Ritsuka's conversation with Romani Archaman and learn they've been to a world of Magical Girls. The two confront Ritsuka in the hallway and demand to accompany them back to the First Lady's Reality Marble. Ritsuka ignores them and continues on their way.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, 1ins: A Strange, Strange Land of Sweets I
Later, joined by Gilles de Rais and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, the Phantom and Blackbeard find their way into the Reality Marble. Sharing in their desire to be Magical Girls themselves (except for Diarmuid), the quartet form the Magical Gentlemen. When Ritsuka, Mash, and Chloe von Einzbern are summoned to the Reality Marble, they see Blackbeard and the Phantom wearing miniskirts on their regular outfits. Blackbeard and the Phantom tell them of their faction and its desires. Although she considers Blackbeard and Phantom’s desire to be with Magical Girls harmless, Chloe nonetheless attacks them for turning her first mission into a farce. She misses, however, even with Caladbolg III, forcing the pair to retreat.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, Magical Gentlemen - The Encounter
Confronting him in the Land of Sweets, Ritsuka's party listens as the Phantom compares Magical Girls to songbirds. Mash thinks him harmless, but Chloe asks what he'd do to a bird that doesn't sing. The Phantom answers he would kill it, the same if it has a horrible voice. If it has a beautiful voice, he would lock it up against its will. Realizing he's crazy, the group proceeds to defeat the Phantom.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, White Masked Gentleman - The Destiny
====Final Singularity: Solomon====
The Phantom is amongst the "Orleans" Singularity Servants assisting Chaldea against the Demon Gods Pillars.Fate/Grand Order - Salomon: The Grand Time Temple - Act 02: I / Blast Furnace Naberius
====Subspecies Singularity I: Shinjuku====

He is part of the Phantom Demon Alliance along with James Moriarty, EMIYA Alter, Yan Qing and Hessian Lobo. He resides in Kabukicho, commanding hundreds of Coloraturas.
==== Halloween Event: The Mysterious Country of ONILAND!! ====
The Phantom, Christopher Columbus, and Mephistopheles, are lost in Oniland’s house of mirrors. They run into Ritsuka's party, Blackbeard, and supposedly Henry Jekyll, who are also lost, and travel with them. Everyone goes their separate ways, though, when they come to a four-way intersection. The Phantom, Columbus, and Mephistopheles travel together, but they return to the intersection upon hearing Blackbeard’s scream coming from there.
After learning Blackbeard was stabbed in the back, Columbus assures none in his group are the culprit. Jekyll, however, accuses him, Mephistopheles, or the Phantom of being the culprit, having heard that Gold Servants are only made from copies of evil Heroic Spirits. The Phantom admits his claw tend to find themselves in the flesh of others, which Ritsuka doesn't find to be a helpful defense. Columbus states neither of them could possibly sneak up on Blackbeard without being noticed and finds it convenient for Jekyll that they’re the suspects. But, refusing to come quietly, Mephistopheles triggers a battle between everyone when he attacks Jekyll with his bombs.
The Phantom comes at Ritsuka with his claws, but stops and pulls back at the last moment, saying his claws mustn't be used to harm or kill Christine. Mephistopheles asks Jekyll why he only stood idly by and how long he’ll keep his farce up. Realizing it’s pointless to bluff now, Jekyll turns into Hyde, revealing himself to be the Gold Servant in charge of the house of mirrors. Shuten-douji arrives to help defeat “Hyde”, leaving once Sitonai collects his gold fragment. Mochizuki Chiyome asks Columbus, Mephistopheles, and the Phantom why they didn’t take part in the battle. The Phantom only says he has no right to hear Christine's beautiful voice.

Together, he and and the Phantom repeatedly praise the names of their loved ones.

Romani Archaman guesses that the Phantom was actually searching for traces of Christine.

=== Skills ===
==== Class Skills ====
*Presence Concealment (A Rank): A Skill suitable for espionage activities, suppressing one’s presence as a Servant. It is nearly impossible to be detected if one suppresses their presence completely, but the rank of Presence Concealment drops greatly when preparing to attack.
==== Personal Skills ====
*Mental Pollution (A Rank): Due to possessing a distorted mentality, it is possible for one to shut out any mental interference thaumaturgy. One is not able to come to a mutual understanding with individuals who do not possess an equivalent rank of Mental Pollution.
*Alluring Euphony (B Rank): A natural constitution of having a beautiful voice. It works as a fascination magecraft-like effect towards females, but evasion is possible with a Magic Resistance Skill. Even without Magic Resistance, one can abate it to some extent so long as she maintains a will to resist. Using this beautiful voice, the Phantom conversates while openly singing like he was right there on the stage of the opera house.
:*Call from the Garnier (B+ Rank): Upgrade from Alluring Euphony in Fate/Grand Order.
*Innocent Monster (D Rank): One who had been distorted into a monster by the current state of the past according to the image cultivated in one’s later years. One’s abilities and appearance have been completely transformed. He, who is the model for “The Phantom of the Opera's” novel character, has received the influence of that work and his face has changed into something grotesque, and both of his arms also already transformed into something that belongs to those of a grotesque monster's. If he completely removes his black gloves, claws that are even sharper and more dangerous than large knives are stretched out, and both grotesque hands become exposed out in the open.
=== Noble Phantasm ===
His Noble Phantasm is Christine, Christine. An ominous and gigantic musical instrument that is much like a pipe-organ, constructed by combining some of the corpses of the Phantom’s former victims. By matching it with the Phantom’s singing voice that is owned by his grotesque vocal organs, this Noble Phantasm scatters invisible magic damage to the surroundings.
==Development==
===Creation and Conception===
Phantom of the Opera. was designed by Shimaudon in Fate/Grand Order. His scenario writer is Hikaru Sakurai in Fate/Grand Order.
====Comment from Illustrator====
"Although he already turned into this kind of character because of an original version of an event, his design was initially drawn up with an elegant image. However, after Mr. Takeuchi said that “he should be even more of a mysterious person”, he settled down into this current design. Also, when I was looking up various mediums of “The Phantom of the Opera” to get that touch in drawing his pictures, I found that the “Phantom of the Opera” in the olden days was conscious of himself, given that there was a side to this mysterious person who was conscious of his entire face, so it is different when the visuals show him concealing only the right side of his face with a mask; personally, I resolutely created a “young mysterious person who was possessed”, and I did an illustration to represent that in his last Ascension. In this game, because he holds a Noble Phantasm that is overall valuable as an Assassin, I am grateful that he greatly plays an active role in the Ember Gatherings." (Shimaudon)
