A steadfastly faith filled man, Philip believes in the possibility of redemption for all. He falls in love with the beautiful mermaid Syrena when she is captured by Blackbeard's crew (of which Philip is a part) and he tries desperately to protect her from Blackbeard's cruelty, nearly getting himself killed in the process. Syrena and Philip's fate remains unknown as of the end of the fourth movie, but one thing is for certain: wherever they wind up they will be together for all eternity.
