The mysterious character known as Phantom first appeared to the world at large in 2007, but her true origins lie far away – in fact, many years from now.

Phantom hails from a dystopian possible future for our own universe; a mysterious alien race has been converting humans into a strange and race of 'posthumans'. In her home time period, humans are born normally, but after reaching adolescence, begin to mutate into the alien posthumans. Culture is different; magic is an anathematic phenonmenon, and powerful psionic technology rules in this possible future of Humanity.

Phantom underwent various forms of cybernetic surgery that replaced nearly 60% of her original form; upgrading her body and staving off the transformation. However, she always felt out of place and unsatisfied; Rikti were thoroughly insatiable, fairly violent, and uninterested in self-exploration – least of all any sort of physical, carnal pleasure or emotional bonding.

The woman refused to accept this time as her ‘own’. She stole a prototype time machine, and, unaware that she was being followed by the Drow assassin Calyx, went back in time to the year 2007 – intent on changing the future for the better. She would make key changes in the world, many of which would take years to effect.

However, in Phantom’s mind, she would change the world for the better – creating a future free from the horrific mutations, and free from the emotionless and closed-mindedness of future human society.

Phantom used a quantum singularity generator; allowing her to, theoretically, remain in relativistic stasis long enough to "loop around" in time, bringing her back to our own modern day. Phantom quickly established a base of operations using her advanced equipment.

However, an attack by so-called "Forces of Justice" (the good guys do ruin everything, don't they?) Phantom's time machine was destroyed.

Unable to return to her own time to see the fruits of her labor, she vowed to make the current time into her own ideal world.

Phantom nurses a wide variety of professional and political contacts.

In order to better manage her quickly-growing network of contacts, Phantom established a ‘legitimate’ business; MIRAGECorp International. MIRAGE functioned as a legitimate front for her schemes, thwarting intelligence services, heroes, and villains alike. She would make a point to avoid killing her enemies; much better to capture them, interrogate them, and bring them over to Phantom’s side; in Phantom’s mind, the side of good.

As MirageCorp grew, so did its employees and personell. Robots, dragons, vampires, humans, heroes, villains, samurai, mercenaries, henchmen; all manner of creatures quickly filled its ranks.

Even now, Phantom still plots and schemes. Subtle changes must be made to the world to effect her master plan, her vision of a superior world. If she can’t get employees to sign up for MIRAGE willingly, she’ll have them forcibly inducted. There is no price too great; if it means a better future, then, to Phantom, anything is worth it.
