The 3rd Phantom was the first Phantom to question the role. He ran away as a kid and joined actors and William Shakespeare. He had a change of heart when the 2nd was on his death bed.

The 3rd Phantom had two wives. Lee Falk has written him marrying two women Rosamunda (niece of William Shakespeare) and Pura daughter of a maharajah in India. It is accepted that Rosamunda was the first wife and mother of the 4th Phantom and died shortly afterwards with him then marring Pura afterwards.

Rosamunda is the mother of the 4th Phantom and died before the 3rd swore the oath. In fact her death pushed the Phantom into his role and it was her death that helped him understand the 1st decision to dedicate his life to fighting cruelty and injustice.

His acting and drama skills came to the fore in his role as the Phantom. He has been perhaps the most theatrical Phantom using tricks, magic and stage methods to build on the lore of the Phantom. He also built on the Jungle Lore of the Phantom being in more places at once, the man who cannot die, invisible etc

A man of great action and delivered lines of commentary as he fought. His fights can almost be seen as theatrical plays.
