Morphology

nonpresence = presence (transparent) = non + presence

The phrase denotes absence of 'presence' (here 'personal or stage presence'), which is a straightforward negative derivation using 'non-'.

Etymology

The word nonpresence comes from non- 'not' and presence 'being noticed', like when someone is present on stage. So nonpresence describes someone who does not make people notice them.
