What is the character background info of phantom opera?

The Phantom of the Opera is a work of fiction, and as such, the characters do not have real-life background information. The character of the Phantom is a mysterious figure who is said to live in the sewers beneath the Paris Opera House and to have been disfigured in a fire as a child, though his name and the circumstances of the accident are unknown. He falls in love with a young soprano, Christine Daaé, and begins to mentor her, but becomes increasingly jealous of her affections for Raoul, a childhood friend of Christine's. Much of the story revolves around the Phantom's attempts to win Christine's love and his rivalry with Raoul.
