Philippe de Chagny is generally a calm man. He is known as a great aristocrat and is a good-looking man of forty-one. He is above average height and has a hard forehead and cold eyes despite general opinion that his features are attractive.
Viscount Chagny has an ‘excellent heart’ and ‘irreproachable conscience’. He is polite to women and haughty to men. His demeanor is faultless.
He is the eldest of four children, the youngest (Raoul) 20 years his junior. He played a large role in the lives of his two sisters and brother, going even so far as to spoil young Raoul, of whom he is very proud.
He is ‘on terms’ with La Sorelli.
After Christine Daae’s disappearance, Comte de Chagny was found on the bank of the lake under the Opera House-dead.
