The 2nd Phantom was the 2nd person in the line of secession to have taken The Oath of the Skull, and thus, assumed the mantle of The Phantom. Like his father before him, he committed his life to end piracy, injustice and cruelty. Though initially reluctant, at first, to assume the responsibility placed upon his shoulders by his father, circumstances forced him to give into his inevitable fate, and he eventually relented. Therefore, he would be the first son to assume the mantle of The Phantom from his father before him.
History
The 2nd Phantom's story begins in 1545, when the 1st Phantom (Christopher Walker) courted and later married Marabella of Maravilloso, the granddaughter of famed explorer Christopher Columbus in 1545. He would later have a son with her in 1548, whom he would name Kitridge Walker II.
Siege of Malta
In 1565, the 1st Phantom, accompanied by his 17 yr. old son Kit, would participate in the defense of Malta against the Sultan Suleiman, when the when the Ottoman Empire tried to invade the island of Malta, then held by the Order of Saint John. Receiving word from his fellow knights, both the 1st Phantom and his son, then a young adult, made all haste to the besieged island. The Knights, with approximately 2,000 footsoldiers and 400 Maltese men, women and children, managed to withstand the siege and repelled the invaders. Wearing a suit of armor provided by his fellow knights, the 1st Phantom took part in the defense of Malt but was badly wounded in the process. After the battle, the 1st Phantom and his son then returned to Bangalla, but at that time, the means of traveling were not as advanced in those days, so they didn't arrive in the Skull Cave until February 1566. By then, the 1st Phantom was so weak that he quickly succumbed and died of his wounds shortly after his son, who by then was 18 years old, had sworn The Oath of the Skull and assumed the sacred mantle as the 2nd Phantom.
Walker's Table
"Walker's Table", known also as the "Phantom's Eyrie".
Later on, the 2nd Phantom would seek out a discovery made by his grandfather, Christopher Kit Walker, known as the legendary landmark called Walker's Table, a large mesa with a flat top with a cave on top of it. It was discovered by Captain Walker and his Native American friend, Caribo, in 1499. This large mesa was located in the present-day United States of America, in one of the southwestern states, close enough to the southern border to see the river that made up the border that separated the country from Mexico. Climbing to the top of the mesa, they found a naturally formed cave on top of it, which was naturally flat, hence it's namesake. Captain Walker would later relate this tale to his son Christoper, the future 1st Phantom. Despite having never seen the location of this landmark himself, he in turn would tell the tale to his son, Kit, who finally managed to find the location of Walker's Table. The 2nd Phantom would later make the Spanish King Phillip II give him ownership of it. The 2nd Phantom would begin the tedious process of furnishing the cave on Walker's Table with modern amenities, making it look like an ordinary flat. He also furnished it with an elevator in one of the mesa's natural shafts, in order to bring up water from a well, and built an exterior elevator which operated by a pulley and lift system, to move people from the ground far below, to the top of the mesa.
