Character
Pharaoh has a distinctive appearance and a humble personality despite his wealthy background, enjoying rapping and dancing.

He wears a black tank top, baggy harem pants, and an Egyptian-style collar over his bandages when performing. When appearing with his mother, he wears a dark suit with a black bowtie and a large Egyptian gold mask, which hides his face.
Pharaoh is a member of the Ptolemy family, one of the richest and most famous monster families in the world, who live in Ptolemy Tower in Boo York. He is the 'Prince of Boo York', while his mother is the queen, but Pharaoh is very humble and doesn't flaunt his wealth around other people. Pharaoh is a talented rapper and dancer, and loves to perform on the streets of Boo York. When in his mother Amuncommon Ptolemy (G1)'s presence, Pharaoh acts passive, obedient, and pretends to share his mother's dislike for modern culture, causing his peers to view him as weird or odd. In reality, Pharaoh is very much a friendly, out-going, and normal teenager who enjoys having fun and expressing his artistry.
Since his mother doesn't appreciate his style of music, he sneaks out in secret by travelling over the city rooftops and proves to be very crafty in hiding his secret life from her. He also has a passion for poetry, but is considered boring by Cleo de Nile's Boo York, Boo York - Comet-Crossed Couple diary; though since he seen to be very protective of his book and his skills as a singer, the book likely contains lyrics for his songs.
Pharaoh fears he'll never get the chance to sing again when he learns his mother is planning to unite his family with the De Niles on the Night of the Comet. After a chance meeting and bonding with Catty Noir (G1), he finally gains the courage to reveal his true self to his mother and rebels against her.

At the end, Pharaoh and his mother are able to reach a understanding with one another and he gains her blessing to pursue his music and his romance with Catty Noir (G1).
Pharaoh meets Catty Noir (G1) while performing in the city, and they were instantly attracted to each other.
