The star of The Phantom of the Opera, most famously played by Michael Crawford (original cast) and Gerard Butler (2004 movie). The Phantom lives beneath the opera house, and tries to win Christine's love after hearing her sing as an understudy. He has faced a world of hatred and everyone thinks of him as nothing more than a cold-blooded murderer. Behind his murders, he is just an emotionally insecure man who had been outcast from society because of a facial defect when he was born, which he covers with the classic half-face mask. Truly, behind the mask, there is a beautiful man and a genius in music, art, and magic, whom most outcasts can relate to.
