All of the Four Guardians were created from X's schematic capabilities. Sage Harpuia, created from X's DNA and his schematic capabilities of air combat while wielding the elements of Wind and Lightning, Fighting Fefnir, created from X's DNA and his schematic capabilities of ground combat while wielding the elements of Fire and Earth, and Fairy Leviathan, created from X's DNA and his schematic capabilities of underwater combat while wielding the elements Water and Ice, also being the only female of the Four Guardians.

Phantom took in apprentices and made them commanders of his Zan'ei Army, the commanders were Hanumachine, Phoenix Magnion, Hyleg Ourobockle, Burble Hekelot, and Tech Kraken. All of them were Mutos Reploids, Reploids created to protect humans while their designs are based on mythical beings. Hanumachine is Phantom's first and closest apprentice, he commanded Phantom's stealth unit. Hanumachine is a Mutos Reploid, and his structure was based on the Hindu monkey god Hanuman.

Phantom's third apprentice was Hyleg Ourobockle, he commanded Phantom's second stealth unit. Hyleg Ourobockle is a Mutos Reploid, and his structure was based on the Ouroboros Snake. Phantom's fourth apprentice is Burble Hekelot, he commanded Phantom's Cutting Shadow Squadron.

Phantom and his commanders never failed any mission that X would send them to complete, and they eventually became an anti-resistance army. Even though Phantom's title is "Dark Lord", he's actually the noblest of the Four Guardians. He would risk his own life to protect Master X, even if it meant sacrificing himself to save him. His loyalty to Master X shows that he is determined to impress X, and he would destroy any who opposed him. Phantom shows his affection towards X, even though his siblings don't show the kind of affection Phantom has. Then the news reached that the legendary hero, Zero, was reactivated and was sweeping the floor with X's armies like they were nothing but trash. After he heard this news, he sent his commanders to fight Zero. Except Tech Kraken, he became one of the Einhenjar. Zero easily defeated his commanders. This made Phantom furious, so he went to a factory captured by the Resistance to challenge him. Phantom lost against Zero, but told Zero that the factory was going to explode in 15 minutes because he planted bombs inside the factory before Zero arrived. He was impressed be cause Zero diffused all of the bombs that he planted, and was looking forward to his next battle against Zero.
Zero finally came to Neo Arcadia's Area X, Neo Arcadia's HQ. Zero fought his way through and defeated his siblings, and then Zero came to fight Phantom. Phantom and Zero fought endlessly, until Zero finally beat Phantom. Phantom did admit defeat and Self-destructed to take Zero down before he reached to X, but Zero survived the blast and carried on to fight X. Zero couldn't believe that Phantom sacrificed his own life, just to prevent Zero from reaching Master X. Zero met with X, but the X he fought was just a copy created by Ciel. Ciel tried to create a perfect Copy of X, but the copy did not have the capabilities of the Original X. Zero and Copy X had a fight to the death, and Zero easily defeated him. Copy X was furious and transformed into the Seraph, a powerful form that made his structure look like the Seraphim of Judaism. After a long battle, Zero managed to defeat him. Copy X the HQ to self-destruct and preventing Zero from escaping, but Zero managed to escape the HQ in time. A year and two months had passed since Phantom's death, but a new enemy had risen up to destroy the humans and put Reploids under the enemies command.
Zero met up with an old enemy, his name was Omega. Dr. Weil came back from exile with the newly revived Omega, to bring death and chaos to the world. Dr. Weil also revived Copy X, and three of his Generals of his armies. Zero fought his way through defeating the Eight Gentle Judges and the Copy X's Generals, and he entered Cyber-Space to get the power of the Cyber Elfs. But on Cyber-Space Zero saw someone that he couldn't believe his eyes, it was his old rival Hidden Phantom. Zero asked him was he alive he saw him self-destruct; Phantom told him that when Reploids die they become Cyber Elfs in Cyber Space. He also told him that he knew the truth about Zero, and challenged him to see if Zero had what it takes to be a true legendary hero. After a hard battle, Zero defeated Phantom. Phantom realized that Zero had what it takes to be a true hero, and encouraged Zero to defeat Omega. He and the Original X went to help Fefnir and Leviathan because they were badly injured by Omega, and convinced them to help Zero defeat Omega. Later on they convinced Harpuia to help Zero too, to defeat Omega. Zero defeated Omega, who absorbed the Dark Elf and had Zero's original body, and made the world safe from harm's way. Phantom and his siblings realized that the Resistance had the same goal as they did, the goal of Humans and Reploids living together in peace and harmony.
