–The Phantom, when Raz confronts him
The Phantom is the alter-ego of Jasper Rolls who sabotages the plays that Bonita Soleil appears in and goes so far as to try to kill her.
Appearance[]
The Phantom is a tall dark figure with a black robe and black hat. He wears white gloves and a white mask which resembles a skull. His eyes are white. As seen in one of his concept arts. The Phantom wears a waist cincher to make himself look slim. His long arms and claws are fake and are controlled by Jasper. According to his concept art, his pants and boots are also black, though they are never seen in the game.
Personality[]
Jasper describes the Phantom as being a rugged and romantic scoundrel. He is very passionate about terrifying people. The Phantom talks with a raspy voice.
Background[]
From Old Psychopedia[]
"The “rugged and romantic” Phantom has been terrifying Glorias Theater for months on end. He dwells in the rafters, which is quite a pain if, say, you decide you want to help Gloria and her mental performers out and beat the crap out of him, thereby curing Gloria and gaining a crucial piece of the Dr. Loboto costume that will get you to the upper level of Thorny Towers. But that’s only if you want to do that.
He has an aversion to light and, according to Jasper, only attacks when Bonita Soleil is on stage, no doubt leading to her unwillingness to perform. Actually, it’s a good thing you have Jasper around, since he knows a whole lot about the Phantom and how to get to the rafters. How helpful."
Psychonauts[]
Razputin first encounters him in the catwalks part of Gloria's Theater, where he taunts and attempts to bring about harm to Raz by dropping sandbags on him. Eventually, he is seen but cannot be attacked. Attempting to jump towards him will result on The Phantom swiping his arm in order to whack Raz away from reaching him. Razputin must grab the candle by the ledge, bring that over to a spotlight and use Pyrokinesis on it, causing the Phantom to retreat.
