Character: Phantom Canon: Arknights Current Canon Point: Between Chapters 8 and 9 New Canon Point: After Chapter 9 and near the end of Phantom and Crimson Solitaire Updated Background: Phantom was involved in the events of Chapter 9 of Arknights' main story, where he returned to his home country of Victoria and witnessed the clash of Dublinn and Rhodes Island in a nomadic city called County Hillock. Since Arknights doesn't go into the details of what non-protagonist characters do in each chapter, I will assume that he participated in all of the operations alongside the Doctor and the main squad.
What's more important though is his event, Phantom and Crimson Solitaire, whereupon he left Rhodes Island and headed to Celablaison in search of more answers regarding his past. Unfortunately, his latent brainwashing was activated when he neared the area, and this caused him to be trapped in a waking nightmare while his alternate personality took over his own body. Rhodes Island and the Doctor dispatched a team to Celablaison to try and rescue him, reaching an old and abandoned castle where the Scarlet Troupe had made their base. The power of the troupe and its master, Tragodia, was able to twist time and space, resulting in a confusing and drawn-out adventure. (This is the roguelike game mode for Arknights) Eventually, the Doctor fought Phantom and brought him back to his senses. He went back to Rhodes Island with the Doctor. While it was painful to think about his past, he gained a clearer understanding of the Scarlet Troupe's nature after talking about it with the Doctor.
Updated Personality: Phantom has matured somewhat after his event. He lost control of his mind, but he was able to regain it with the help of his friends, so he would be more social to those who have earned his trust. Being returned to lucidity will also make him more mentally stable compared to before; his mind is clearer and he is more sure of himself. A lot of his self-doubt stems from not knowing what is true and what happened to him while in the troupe, so finding clues and rationalizing his experiences with the Doctor's help will make him more confident in his own thoughts and feelings.
Any other updates: He will be coming back with his costume as the Crimson Diamond as well as its accompanying rapier. His power over shadow has been demonstrated to be a lot stronger than he usually commands, but this is without his Infection Monitor and his usual abilities will probably not change much.
Questions/Other: Phantom will come back to Songerein while in his alternate personality, the Crimson Diamond, as part of his player plot. He will be purified by other characters and return to his original personality afterward.
