• Guran : In the year 1566, a sailing ship was attacked by pirates in the Bay of Bengala. All crew and passengers perished, save one. A boy. Rescued by the Bandar tribe, taught their secret ways. To swear an oath on the skull of his father's killer, to fight injustice wherever it may be found. So The Phantom lives in the whispers of twenty-three generations. The role passed on from father to son, so the world believes there is only one. The Man Who Cannot Die. The Guardian of the Eastern Dark.
