The Phantom Lover is a darklord with a unique dominion that can reach beyond the Land of Mists and into the Prime Material Plane. He is a creature with an unknown true form that preys on the grief and loneliness of women. His domain is Leederik's Tower, located in the Nocturnal Sea.
Appearance
Also known as Leederick, the Phantom Lover appears as an exact mirror image of whoever his victim desires. The only constant is his left foot, which is black, clawed and scaly like a dragon's. He can also appear as a hideous black serpent.
Background
Nothing is known of where the The Phantom Lover came from or who he truly is. His first known appearance (and victim) was in Cormyr, of the Forgotten Realms setting. His pocket domain is that of a labyrinth with a black tower in the middle, which not much is known about, much less explored. It is known that mortal beings have great difficulty surviving this domain, and if they do not leave or escape then death is soon to follow.
Abilities
The Phantom Lover is one of the few beings -- aside from the Dark Powers, Mist Ferrymen, and greater gods who can breach the borders of the Demiplane of Dread of his own will. He can appear anywhere in the Prime Material Plane, at any time -- however, he limits himself to the task at hand, which is the temptation of a vulnerable woman. The lady's bedchambers essentially become an extension of his domain. Only by keeping the charmed victim outdoors for three days can he be driven off.
Many of his abilities are vampire-like in nature, such as the ability to turn to mist; shapechange into a snake, and he also shares the dislike of, and the vulnerability to, sunlight. It is unknown if his nature is truly of the undead sort.
He also enjoys (or suffers) true immortality. He cannot be completely destroyed, and will return time and time again.
Most darklords suffer underneath a curse. If the Phantom Lover has a curse, it is never explicitly stated.
Other Information
The Phantom Lover is similar in some ways to the Gentleman Caller. It is unknown if there is any link between the two.
