[color=662d91][b]Brief History:[/b][/color]
[indent] Born in the deep woods of Bangalla, proud owner of the Skull Cave, liberator of great treasures and wenches.

The eighth of his name, as well as the eighth Phantom, Christopher Walker took over the role of the Phantom following the tragic death of his father (unsurprisingly perhaps) at the hands of pirates. Most importantly he would also came to be remembered as the tallest Phantom.

Following in the footsteps of his ancestors, Walker had sworn an oath to devote his life to the “destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty, and injustice, in all their forms” and at first he stuck to the tried–and–true methods of phantoming. However, it was the Golden Age of Piracy and challenging villains to honorable duels began to seem an ineffective strategy. Fortunately, being a young man of an adventurous persuasion and one blessed with a more pragmatic, more modern sense of morality, Walker did not let his early failures dissuade him. Instead, taking heed of the success of a number of other rather clever individuals, Walker quickly embraced both the spirit and the methods of the new era and pursued a life of adventure and heroic piracy on the high seas.

After he assembled a crew of honorable swashbucklers, Walker borrowed a suitable ship, and cut a bloody path of justice across the Caribbean as he sought revenge on his father’s killers and their ilk. A skilled captain and fearless swordsman, he hunted some of the most legendary pirates to have ever sailed the Seven Seas in pursuit of the higher ideals of justice and securing a respectable cut of the profit.

He fought the notorious Edward Low to stalemate, leaving the cruel pirate missing the better part of an ear.  Even more impressively, Walker crossed swords with the dreaded Edward Teach, more commonly known as Blackbeard and lived to tell the tale without receiving so much as a scratch. However, his reputation as one of the greatest pirates in history was assured when he managed to drink Bartholomew Roberts under the table in the cold winter of 1720.

Currently, Walker can be found in the wretched hive of scum and villainy known as Tortuga, enjoying a bottle of rum and the amenities of what is assuredly not a reputable tavern. [/indent]
