Ultimately, after threatening to murder her lover Raoul and the Persian, Erik gives her up, and then quietly dies of a broken heart. During the novel, Erik falls in love with talented singer Christine Daaé, and seeks to win her love through force. He also created a secret living area for himself beneath the building. When the Shah ordered Erik's death to keep his palace's secrets, Erik fled with the help of a daroga (known in the novel simply as "The Persian"), arrived in Paris, and helped build the Opera House. In time, he became a skilled architect and engineer, even building a trick palace for a Shah of Persia. In the original novel, Erik was born with a substantial physical deformity that gives him a corpse-like appearance.
The character has been adapted to alternate media several times, including in the 1925 film adaptation starring Lon Chaney, the 1943 remake starring Claude Rains, and the 1986 musical play by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which has been repeatedly staged and filmed.
Erik, also known as The Phantom of the Opera, is the title character from Gaston Leroux's novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (1909), best known to English-speaking people as The Phantom of the Opera.
