Even after a desperate Christine conceded to the marriage, Erik still contemplated killing Raoul and the Persian, and only agreed to spare them after Christine promised that she would be with him forever, and not try to kill herself to escape the marriage. The Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Weber). He swaggered into town, full of smug machismo, a video game master prepared to sit down and defend the little woman against all the pixellated violence she just couldn't handle on her own.

", "NO. Although very little has been revealed about Erik's past, it's known that he was once employed as an architect by a young sadistic Sultana. About masked men in opera houses! Then books, and ghosts, and holy Mary mother of god he's chucking entire chandeliers at you, and it only gets wackier from there.

", "Well, clearly someone could, they have to have tested it, right? Despite all his wickedness, however, Erik does seem to have at least some sense of honor. Using his ability as a ventriloquist to pose as a disembodied voice (that Christine believed to be the "Angel of Music" that her father told her about when she was little) while hidden within the walls of her dressing room, Erik helped to tutor the young singer, and at the same time made use of devious tricks to sabotage the performances of her rivals; going as far as to set lose the chandelier on the audience one night, killing a spectator.

The daroga, who was tasked with the execution, took mercy upon Erik and helped him escape, while some accomplices of his dressed the corpse of a drowned man, half-eaten by birds and unrecognizable, with Erik's clothes.
