Phantom is a Hero Thief released during the MapleStory: Justice Update.

Phantom has the unique ability to copy skills from Explorers (excluding Jett and Zen during their availability).

Known as the greatest thief in Maple World, Phantom joined the Heroes after the Black Mage and his Commanders killed the love of his life, Empress Aria. Centuries later, Phantom makes his grand return in order to save Aria's descendant, Cygnus, from being deposed by Hilla. While investigating the purpose of the Black Wings, Phantom learns the truth behind the organization's founding and finds himself on an all-too-familiar path of vengeance against an old foe.

Story

Main article: Phantom/Story

Phantom was a master thief who was infamous for stealing from the rich and disappearing without a trace. After hearing stories about a legendary gem called Skaia, said to belong to the Empress, he traveled to Ereve in order to steal it from Empress Aria. Instead of stealing it, however, he merely asked her to hand it over, which she refused. This quickly became a game for them, with both of them falling in love with each other. One night, Aria invited the Black Mage's envoys to Ereve for a peace conference. However, Orchid and Lotus, who had been sent by the Black Mage, instead attacked Ereve and killed Aria. Vowing revenge on the Black Mage and his Commanders, Phantom decided to join the Heroes in order to kill the ones who had taken his beloved, as well as to protect Aria's dream for a better world.

During the final battle against the Black Mage, Phantom confronted Orchid and Lotus, nearly killing them both and putting Lotus into a coma. Following the Black Mage's sealing, Phantom was cursed and sealed away in ice. Centuries later, Phantom awoke from the ice and remained largely inactive, though he helped Tru of Lith Harbor find the Seal Stone of Victoria Island after learning that Tru and Aran were trying to find it before the Black Wings did. Later on, after the formation of the Maple Alliance, Hilla attempted to destabilize the newly-formed Alliance by posing as a noblewoman and claiming to be the true heir to Ereve and the possessor of Skaia, which said to glow in the hands of the Empress' bloodline. In order to save Cygnus from being deposed, Phantom revealed to himself to the public for the first time since awakening from the ice. Phantom successfully exposed Hilla and her Skaia as fake, while returning the true Skaia entrusted to him by Shinsoo back to Cygnus.

Hoping to investigate the Black Wings and their connection to the Black Mage, Phantom disguised himself as a Black Wings member and traveled to Edelstein, where he learned that the Black Wings were harvesting an enormous amount of energy. He also learned that most of the Black Wings were low-level grunts who had no idea about the Black Wings' objectives or leadership. With the help of Tru, Phantom tracked down Francis, a Black Wings officer, and interrogated him in order to learn the truth about the Black Wings' goals. From Francis, Phantom learned that Orchid was the founder of the Black Wings, though Francis was unsure why the Black Wings were gathering energy. Though Francis claimed that the Black Wings were gathering all the Seal Stones to revive the Black Mage, Phantom quickly realized that Orchid was lying to her officers, as the Seal Stones did not possess that kind of power.

Soon after, Phantom learned that the Black Wings were attacking Rien in order to take the Seal Stone of Victoria Island. After helping Aran fend off the invaders, Phantom learned from Lilin that the story of the Heroes was shrouded in mystery, with almost no surviving records of their battle against the Black Mage, despite it being a major event in Maple World's history. In order to investigate this anomaly, Phantom met with Alcaster in El Nath, where he learned that the Black Wings had recently stolen the Seal Stone of El Nath. He then traveled to Helios Library, where he discovered that someone had burned all the books about the Heroes and the Black Mage, and that they had possessed Wiz the Librarian in order to attack him. After driving the entity out of Wiz, Phantom decided to switch his investigation from the erasure of the Heroes to the force which had possessed Wiz. In Sleepywood, Phantom discovered that the spirit of Lotus was the one responsible for destroying records of the Black Mage and the Heroes, as well as possessing people in order to do so. Driven by vengeance, Phantom rushed without thinking into the Verne Mine, hoping to destroy Lotus' body. However, he quickly realized that Lotus had led him into a trap, as Phantom's close proximity to Lotus' body meant that Lotus - who was normally only able to possess the weak-minded from afar - could take control of his body.

Lotus forced Phantom to travel to Ereve in order to kill Empress Cygnus, which would remove the Alliance's leader and make Phantom a criminal. Before he could complete his plan, however, the spirit of Empress Aria appeared and drove Lotus out of Phantom's body. After an emotional reunion, Aria asked Phantom to put an end to his quest for vengeance and become the hero that Maple World needed. Finally receiving closure, Phantom pledged himself to the Alliance, deciding that working together with others would be more beneficial than working in the shadows alone. As the Alliance continued to do battle with the Black Mage's forces, Phantom reunited with the other Heroes in order to face off against Damien and his demon army. Together, the Heroes retraced Freud's footsteps in order to locate the Abyss Crystal on Friends World. After Damien stole the crystal and used it to take Alicia's powers, Aran and the other Heroes fought and defeated him, restoring Maple World's vitality back to the land.
