Philip is the seneschal at Castle Highcliff and appears in The Lost Stories in The Inkwell and the Dagger.
History[]
In his earlier days, he was a junior steward at Castle Gorlan which was under the charge of Morgarath—a Baron back then. He soon left after that, aware that serving under Morgarath wasn't a good idea. Unfortunately, he lost a year's seniority and three months' pay because of this decision.
In Highcliff Fief, Philip runs up gambling debts at the local tavern (the Swan Tavern) but later repays the debts secretly after quitting gambling. Baron Douglas tries to frame his seneschal, saying that he was secretly handing information to Foldar. Gilan knows it isn't Philip but the Baron who has been handing oit the information all this time. Douglas tries to stab Gilan with a dagger once he realises he's been found out, but Philip is quicker and hurls the contents of an inkwell into the Baron's face giving Gilan enough time to draw his sword and capture him.
Description[]
Philip is described as a slightly-overweight, elderly man with graying hair.
