Phantomas

* Season 4-5 (Mortal)
* Chronicles: Legacy (God)

## Character

Phantomas was the highest-ranked servant of King Aster, and is known as the "Master/God of Illusions". His appearance is mostly mysterious as he's mostly a shadow. Phantomas made his first appearance in the WC movie where he defended King Aster from the attacks from Blank-X and Vileon. So far he's still alive, but he isn't helping the heroes right now as he's still currently serving King Aster. Although, once King Aster was killed by Zakum he had no choice, but to join with the heroes.

## Role in Weegee Chronicles

Phantomas first appeared in Episode 86 as a high-ranked servant of King Aster to fight against Vitiance, MUTK and Galaxion to get back the Orbs of Reality.

Right from the start, Phantomas demonstrated his unique ability of being able to use Illusions he can use to fake his death, earning him the name “Master of Illusions” or later on “God of Illusions”. He was also able to create counterfeit Orbs of Reality to fool MUTK into using them, which explode on impact. After the fight with MUTK he accompanied the heroes for the fight against Vitiance, but sat out.

Phantomas returns in Season 5, as he has to watch how King Aster is about to be ambushed by a possessed Photohon and Zakum, who kill King Aster after they demand to know the whereabouts of the universal shards. Phantomas was actually able to see through Photohon and saw Demions spirit.

After this, Phantomas joins the heroes to warn them. He joins the heroes in the fight against LUTK. He also joins the heroes in exploring Demions lab. After that he participates in the fight against Zakum and coordinated the combined beam blast against him. He then joined the fight against Photohon, but was demolished by his aura alone.

Photohon brought back Phantomas with his resurrection ability to fight for him, however Phantomas seized control and was actually able to fight back. Galaxion found it strange how Phantomas wasn't glowing blue, an characteristic that all the resurrected ghosts that were brought back by Photohon had.

It was revealed that Phantomas had truly been resurrected, and not merely existing as a ghost, because of his godly nature. However, after that he disappeared in mystery.

Phantomas returns in Season 6 (Chronicles Legacy) to reawaken Zamon out of his coma. His appearance drastically changed, as he became much more muscular and overall menacing looking. Zamon remarks how his energy is massive. He grants Zamon a small amount of his energy to aid in the fight against Vileon and Pureegee. He then travels to the Dream Multiverse to warn Cyro, Cryogen, Zakume, USB and Threeforce about Pureegee. He also temporarily stabilizes Cyros soul to leave the Dream Multiverse.

Again, Cryogen makes a remark about his insane power and ask him how he got into the Dream Multiverse, but as Phantomas interacts with the other characters, signs of cracks in his personality begin to emerge as he makes the remark that Cryogen should be content that he is showing any mercy to Cyro at all.

Later on, he is present when Cyro, Aurora and Echo reunite, and makes the ironic statement that he is glad to see that they're happy that he is still around. He follows by questioning Echos mindset, that they celebrate when Cyro died and why she would be sincere now. He then makes the remark that they didn't care when he died and no one mourned for him. He labels her a hypocrite and asks her how their forgotten allies would feel about the situation. He then announces that he will be training the Demi-Gods but with his newfound perspective to show them how cruel the universe is.

His first lesson is "just in time" as he tells the Demi-Gods to just stand still and watch as Ghostom Face destroys the nearby planets to show them that they can't stop all evil and that it will always exist in some form and will be powerless to stop it sometimes. Echo makes the remark that she can make a difference here and that they need to stop him, but he threatens to kill them on the spot should they interfere.

When Cyro question him if he always felt this way and if he ever cared for anyone else specifically with King Aster, Phantomas admits that he never cared for King Aster and merely worked for him to have more power over mortals and that his primary concern was to regain his godly status.

During the fight between Concordea, Supresence and Unarion against Pureegee, Phantomas prevents the Demi-Gods from intervening. When Concordea asks him why he didn’t help fight Pureegee himself he claimed disinterest and said that he wouldn’t be able to defeat Pureegees new form anyways. He then proceeds to train the heroes alongside Concordea.

Later on, he recruits Ghostom Face to fight against Pureegee, despite Ghostom Face's evil nature. Additionally, he blackmails Zakume, threatening to reveal his failure to Concordea, unless Zakume fulfills a certain task. Zakume reluctantly agrees, and the two join forces against the Geometrians.

He then gathers Malleo and Sanic to help him fight against The Outsider. He mocks The Outsider and threatens to kill him, but The Entity interferes, and he leaves Malleo and Sanic with The Outsider, to fight The Entity with his illusions. However, The Entity is fighting with illusions as well, so the fight never truly happened. He then insulted The Entity and called him a bad team mate that he wouldn’t even bother to show up and who resorts to sending minions to do his bidding, all while secretly aware that Concordea is secretly observing the situation.

**MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD**

Phantomas returns for the finale episode of Weegee Chronicles/Chronicles Legacy to fatally wound a weakened Pureegee, displaying a brutal and shocking action that even surprises Concordea. He then proceeds to strike Concordea out of her Deathly Enrage, while launching his Hellfire attack on the heroes, killing Cyro, Exemplacy, Echora, Senya, Zelos, Zamon and Dwaccadian.

After that he mortally wounds Demion, leaving him on the verge of death. He then taunts Concordea, that all of her efforts were for nothing because she trusted the wrong person. He then attempts to kill Concordea, but she teleports away.

After that Phantomas confronts Galaxion, Photohon and Unarion in a battle.

Unarion points Phantomas is the reason why Demion turned out the way he is in the first place, because he refused to hand out the cure.

Phantomas retaliates, revealing his desire to kill them and their parents for the past decade.

Malleo, Sanic, Hermin, and Nightshade join the fight, but Nightshade's true identity is Masteritis, resulting in the deaths of Sanic and Hermin.

Phantomas explains how after King Aster got killed, he seeked help from The Entity to regain his godly status which was right after Masteritis demise, while the heroes were exploring the lab.

The Entity took him to the Dream Multiverse to meet the Geometrian Emperor.

Following the battle with Photohon, Phantomas is rewarded for his loyalty and regains his godhood.

Around that time, Atropos was brought back by The Entity, and the Geometrian Emperor ordered Geon and The Outsider to work with them and form an alliance.

Together the five of them plotted the downfall of the heroes for years by infiltrating their group.

Masteritis secretly killed Nightshade while none of them were around to take his image.

Malleo asks why he brought back Zamon if he killed him now and Phantomas explains that it was to defeat Vileon and that his purpose has been fulfilled.

After that he asks why he has trained them, to which he replies that he wanted them to defeat Demion and Pureegee, so he could fight them all together when they were weakened.

Malleo transforms into Light Angel Malleo to engage Phantomas in battle one last time. Malleo manages to inflict mortal wounds on Phantomas, but Phantomas defies the odds and ultimately defeats Malleo.

Malleo questions why Phantomas betrayed them, to which Phantomas explains that he has multiple reasons but one of them is that in the fight against Photohon no one mourned or cared for his death and that they continued like nothing happened. It made him realize that they didn’t care about the people that died helping them and claims that their other fallen allies would have felt the same. This solified his decision to help out the Geometrians and begin the plan. Phantomas expresses his regret at being unable to kill Photohon to even the score.

When Malleo suggests the idea that Masteritis will eventually betray him as well, Phantomas briefly questions the alliance for a moment but swiftly moves on to request Malleo's final words before his demise. Malleo declares his inner peace and his reunitation with his brother, while Phantomas labels peace as an unworthy set of last words and goes on to finish the job.

He then recruits Ghostom Face, revealing that he has been watching him for years and that he will be the ideal leader for the Inquisition, a group that deserves directly to Masteritis and Phantomas with the goal to hunt down any mortal deemed slightly above average. Individuals must either join the Inquisition or face death.

Having demonstrated his loyalty to the Geometrian cause, Phantomas is appointed as the Black Knight, serving as Masteritis right-hand man and his primary enforcer.

## Abilities

Phantomas does have the basic abilities as everyone else has, but he does have several abilities. His most notable ability is his ability to create illusions, he's able to create physical and accurate illusions from a completely different location as shown against Vileon and Blank-X. He's also been shown to be able to phase through certain attacks just like Hermin-X can do. An interesting ability that Phantomas has is a sort of "determination" ability that Hermin used against Photohon.

## Relationships

* **King Aster**

Phantomas is one of King Aster's most trusted allies, and is technically second in command for King Aster. He has also saved King Aster multiple times from Blank-X. His loyalty to King Aster is large as even though he's against odds that would most certainly kill him he still doesn't budge from his ground. However, it has been revealed that Phantomas never cared about King Aster personally, he only wanted to have more power over mortals and keep his god status.

* **Royal Guards (Movie only)**

Phantomas seems to have a pretty good relationship to the royal guards themselves as he has been shown to work, and even fight next to them against their enemies such as Blank-X.

* **Blank-X (Movie only)**

Phantomas is enemies with Blank-X solely because of the fact that he had betrayed King Aster, and is after the weapon that he is trying to guard. However, prior to the betrayal they actually had a pretty good relationship and had trusted each other.

## Trivia

* Phantomas might have the highest kill-score in the series with 12 kills overall if Pureegee and Demion are counted, aswell as if the fusions are counted as 2 deaths individually. All of these deaths happened in one episode.
* Phantomas was roughly inspired by the Water- and Windblight Ganons.
* Phantomas originally debuted as a background character for the cancelled Weegee Chronicles movie who had a gimmick of using illusions
