Profile
Pale Phantom
Pale Phantom is undoubtedly an Archangel, which means he is very capable, refined and one of the oldest Neo-humans in existence. However, unlike most Archangels like Daeva, Medusa, Kayra, Andraste, and Atum, he was not engineered by Iset the Mother. Instead, he was designed by another Archangel: Morrigan the Phantom Queen.
Even though she can manifest herself in humanoid form, Morrigan's actual body is a massive mothership. She is the amalgamation of three Archangels: Badb, Macha, and Anand. While it's a mystery how much of the founders' individual personalities remain, in the past, they were three perfectly distinct Archangels, all created by Iset. After the Interhuman War, once the Neo-humans migrated to deep space, the three decided to unify and formed Morrigan.
Just like Morrigan can "shapeshift" into Neo-human form, most of her creations, the Phantoms, can shapeshift too. It is interesting to note that Pale Phantom's true form is a catom cube. A catom cube, or rather trillions of nano-catom-cubes, can disintegrate, scatter, and morph into anything. Each of these cubes has a unique fundamental "consciousness." Like all Neo-humans, Morrigan's special series of catom-based children also require an Angel Core to hold their memories and personality. Therefore, even if the cubes that are part of Pale's "brain" are destroyed, all the data backed up into the Angel Core can be retrieved. Pale Phantom can reform and recollect "himself" easily. At most, he can lose the most recent experiences that failed to be backed up.
Like all other Phantoms, Pale Phantom is a member of Morrigan's creed. Phantom Crows is one of the most enigmatic and dangerous Neo-human alliances in existence. They are a pain in the corporations' asses. And they usually dive into corporation spaces, execute spectacular attacks, and leave quickly.
Phantom Crows are very elite, selective, and quite civilized despite being menacing assassins. They don't attack corporations because of bloodthirst; they do it to protect Neo-human colonies and sometimes even humans.
As you can tell by now, Pale Phantom is not a senseless killer. He is a refined assassin; once he gets his target, nothing can stop him.
Pale Phantom will not be part of the starting team composition in the single-player campaign. Where will your paths cross? How and why will he join your party? You will find the answers to all these questions and more by playing the campaign. Stay tuned!
