The Faceless: He almost always wears a mask.Exposition Fairy: Will explain how to use Persona and most other systems in the games he appears in."End of the World" Special: After Nyarlathotep destroys the world at the end of Innocent Sin, Philemon offers the heroes a chance to create a new world by erasing the "innocent sin" in the past that had led to Nyarlathotep's victory.In other words, as long as humans stir the collective by creating and reinforcing the self, Philemon will never cease to exist, and he possesses a great sway over the vast power of the collective. As Nyarlathotep explains at the end of Innocent Sin, he and Philemon are sapient forces of the collective conscious itself, shaped into being as a consequence of humanity being existences who create and destroy their sense of self. Eldritch Abomination: Philemon is not a deity born of human thoughts and wishes like the gods and demons of the series.This makes sense, as Phil and Nyar are formed from human base impulses and instincts, and if humans evolve into these greater beings, then they would no longer be humans, thus removing Phil and Nyar from existence.
