Profile

Personality

Philip is shown to have a rather conniving nature, demonstrated when he designs a backup plan to blame Club Primavera if he were to fail to find a missing American soldier at the request of the mafia.

Plot

Season 1

Philip plans to have Caleb assassinated after he pays, however the assassination is botched.

Season 2

Philip briefly appears in Season 2 when it is implied that Rose Haibara had been seducing him in order to gain further control over District 23.

Season 3

Philip's garrison is taken over by Gabriel Kaburaya, who blackmails Philip using his knowledge of Philip's mafia connection.

Last Season

As Gabriel Kaburaya dies, Philip mentions something having happened to his younger sister Ange, blaming Gabriel. However, Gabriel appears genuinely confused by this.
