Phantom

Phantom
Phantom was the former leader of the Novas until he betrayed them to get his hands on the time fragment. He is revealed to be a fierce nationalist who is passionate about Hegen. Until his reveal, Phantom seems a rather uncaring, professional assassin as other Novas are.

Early Life
Phantom was born in Karsal, Hegen's capital, in the year 3918 PTSY, or 1992 AD. Hegen had once been a great power at around the 1300s PTSY, reaching a peak during the 1500s. As historians know, after the 1800s PTSY Hegen fell into rapid decline. All their colonies, including Ortey, rebelled, and their massive empire suddenly faded as Widelheim took over.

Phantom's father instilled fierce nationalistic views within his son alongside billions of others. All of them believed that Hegen had to leave the Galactic Union and start a rival empire and rise to the top again. Phantom's whole childhood was based on that idea, called "Illidenst."

Before Argonauts
Although Phantom wanted to join the Synocope wars, his father stopped him. In 2025 AD, Phantom's father was killed in combat.

Phantom quickly joined the Novas as soon as he left school and rose to the top. His practical and pragmatic methods led him to be seen as a loyal officer, and nobody suspected of what he truly wanted.

Argonauts
After hunting Elliot down, he reveals his intent to use the time fragment to go back in time and make Hegen never have fallen to make it a great nation. But before he uses the time fragment for that, he visits his father. Unfortunately for Phantom, the damage inflicted on the time fragment forced him to return to the present before he could complete his primary agenda.
