In the African jungle, the Phantom is called The Ghost who Walks and The Man who Cannot Die because he seems to have been around for generations. This is because the Phantom is descended from twenty previous generations of crime fighters who all share the same persona. When a new Phantom takes up the mantle, he has to swear the Oath of the Skull I swear to devote my life to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty, and injustice, in all their forms, and my sons and their sons, shall follow me Frequently the strip highlights the adventures of previous Phantoms, set in the past, and some European publications have featured the Phantoms children as future crimefighters. Two signatures of the character are two rings he wears. One has a pattern that he leaves on visitors to his region he approves of, which marks the person as under his protection. The other has a skull shape and is worn on his favored punching hand, which leaves a skull like scar on the enemies he punches. The Phantom has two helpers, a mountain wolf, Devil, and a horse, Hero. He also has a trained falcon named Fraka. From 1. 96. 2 on, The Phantom raised an orphan named Rex now Prince of Baronkhan. In 1. 97. 8, he married his sweetheart since his days in American college, Diana Palmer, who works at the United Nations. Guran, his best friend since boyhood, was best man. The guests present at the wedding included Mandrake the Magician, and the Presidents of Bangalla and Ivory Lana Luaga and Goranda. A year later, twins were born to the Palmer Walkers, Kit and Heloise. The Phantoms family have always played a significant role in the series. His romance with Diana Palmer was an ongoing part of the story from the beginning, and many later stories revolved around the Phantom becoming involved in adventures as a result of his young charges, first Rex, then Kit and Heloise. There are times when the Phantom leaves his jungle home and travels as an ordinary man. When he does, he wears a fedora, a trench coat, and sunglasses, and is known as Mr. Walker. References to Mr. Walker are traditionally accompanied by a footnote saying For The Ghost Who Walks, although some versions of the Phantoms history suggest that Walker was actually the surname of the man who became the first Phantom. Like The Lone Ranger, the Phantom does not allow his unmasked or undisguised face to be seen except by close friends or members of his family. The Phantom, drawn by Jerry De. Caire. The story of the Phantom started with a young sailor named Christopher Walker. Christopher was born in 1. Portsmouth. His father, also named Christopher Walker, had been a seaman since he was a young boy, and was the cabin boy on Christopher Columbuss ship Santa Maria when he discovered America. Christopher Jr. became a shipboy on his fathers ship in 1. Christopher senior was Captain. In 1. 53. 6, when Christopher was 2. On February 1. 7, the ship was attacked by pirates of the Singh Brotherhood in a bay in the fictional African country of Bengalla. The last thing Christopher saw before he fell unconscious and fell to the sea, was his father being murdered by the leader of the pirates. Both ships exploded, making Christopher the sole survivor of the attack. Christopher was washed ashore on a Bengalla beach, seemingly half dead. He was found by pygmies of the Bandar tribe, who nursed him and took care of him. A time later, Christopher had a walk on the same beach that he had been washed ashore on, and found a dead body there, who he recognized as the pirate who killed his father. He allowed the vultures flying around the body finish their work, took up the skull of the killer, raised it above his head, and swore a sacred oath. I swear to devote my life to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty, and injustice, in all their forms My sons and their sons, shall follow me. After learning the language of the Bandar tribe, Christopher found out that they were slaves of the Wasaka tribe, a tribe consisting of what the Bandars called giants. The Bandars who had found him was only a small group of people who had managed to escape from the village of the Wasaka. Immediately, Christopher walked into the village of the Wasaka, and asked them to set the Bandars free. Instead of achieving this goal, he was taken prisoner, and laid before the Demon God of the Wasaka Uzuki, who was supposed to decide his destiny. Christopher was tied up and laid on an altar made of stone, where vultures surrounded him, the Wasaka allowing them to eat him. Christopher was quickly saved by a group of Bandars before the vultures or the Wasaka could do him any real harm. They managed to escape from the village of the Wasaka unharmed. Christopher learned about an ancient Bandar legend about a man coming from the ocean to save them from their slavery. He made a costume inspired by the look of the Demon God of the Wasaka, and went to the Wasaka village again, this time with a small army of Bandars armed with their newly discovered, extremely poisoned arrows, capable of killing a man in a few seconds. The Wasaka, shocked at seeing what many of them thought was their Demon God come alive, was fought down, and the Bandars were finally set free, after centuries in slavery.
