Erik the Angel Phantom, Level 7

When Erik first meets Cyrano and Quasimodo in The Broken Bards of Paris, he is a very changed man. He is actually no more a “man”: guilt and anger drove him away from mortal life transforming him into the very thing he had pretended to be- a Phantom.

(However, an unfettered phantom of Pathfinder was not the right choice for him. An undead spirit, not necessarily evil, with regrets in the mortal world is a ghost. And ghosts can have some VERY interesting alternate abilities).
