==Story==

{{sec-stub}}

When [[Aqua]] first arrives at the Olympus Coliseum, Phil comes to Aqua's "rescue" when she was attacked by the Unversed, only to be scared off by them and called Hercules to fight them with Aqua. After the Unversed are defeated, he flirts with Aqua, but becomes disappointed to hear her concern for Terra after Hercules mentioned Terra, and mistakes her for a "Terra fan." He convinced Aqua to sign up for the games, saying there might be a chance that Terra would be in the games and even offered to sign her up for the games, as well as to be her trainer, but she politely refused. After Aqua realized that Terra might not be in the games, Phil tried to convinced her to stay, noting that his last two athletes (Hercules and Zack) defaulted and lost their matches. In the end, Aqua decides to stay and finish the games.

Phil is the coordinator of the games at Olympus Coliseum. He asks [[Sora]] to move a rock, thinking that he is [[Hercules]]. When Sora says he can't do it, Phil realizes it's not Hercules. He rejects Sora from participating in the games because he is not a true hero. This leads to a minigame that has Sora destroying barrels. Phil still rejects Sora from entering the games and tells him to go master a certain [[Thunder|spell]]. When Sora leaves, he attains a pass from [[Hades]]. Phil grudgingly allows him in the games and teaches them as the games go on until the fight with [[Cloud]]. Regardless of whether Sora wins or loses, [[Cerberus]] shows up and attacks. Phil tells Sora, Donald, and Goofy to run for it. After Hercules shows up to fight Cerberus and rescue Cloud, Phil worries about him and warns Sora when he enters the stadium to help. After the battle, Phil makes them junior heroes and from then allows Sora to compete in the games.

Phil runs the games in the fake version of Olympus Coliseum in [[Castle Oblivion]]. This time around, he makes it more into a race than an actual battle. He also gives the rules for competing.

Phil trains [[Roxas]] for the Coliseum games, thinking he is the hero that Hercules mentioned when Roxas went on his mission with [[Xigbar]]. Roxas was often teamed with Demyx in this world, and battled against Xigbar in the final round of the games before a [[Guard Armor]] Heartless interrupted the match. Phil eventually realized that Roxas wasn't the hero Hercules had told him about, much to his dismay. However, Phil wasn't mad at Roxas and told him to come by to the Coliseum anytime he wanted to the next time they met.

Phil is once again preparing games for the [[Olympus Coliseum]] and tournaments for [[Hercules]] so he can wow the crowd. Phil again demands that Sora endure training, where he must destroy urns. Phil leaves right before the Olympus Stone is said to be stolen. Sora later finds him in the Underworld, incapacitated by [[Demyx]]. He says he was looking for a new hero to have fight in the Coliseum since Hercules is slowing down. When the [[Hydra]] destroys the Coliseum, Phil is there to help Sora defeat it.

He is shown talking to [[Data-Sora]] in the lobby of the Coliseum that he has trouble finding Hercules. After Data-Sora heals the Coliseum, he will trade a Power Chain for an Energy Bangle++.

Phil, being a satyr, has the lower body is that of a goat with orange fur and brown hooves. His upper body is that of a short man with an enormous gut and some hair on his chest and arms. The top of his head is bald, save for four strands of orange hair, while the back of his hair is about shoulder-length. He has a curly goatee and five o'clock shadow over most of his lower face. His nose is pink and bulbous and his ears are pointed. Phil has black eyes and a thin, brown uni-brow. Finally, there are two brown goat horns sprouting out of the top of his head.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Phil began to lose faith in Hercules. Seeking a new hero, he later risked his life to participate in the battle with the Hydra. He continued to care for the hero until Sora's next return, Phil's dream later coming true. Due to incorrect attitudes, however, Phil remained his stubborn self and refused to award Sora and friends the "Hero" status.

Phil has a number of running gags surrounding him. One of them is that each time Sora and friends tried to talk with Phil when first arriving in the Coliseum, Phil mistakes them for Hercules and doesn't realize it until he turns around. Another recurring joke is that he will state a certain number of words, then say a phrase that goes one word over or under the number of words he stated. Another trait of his is not being able to keep his mouth shut when people are explaining things, such as when Roxas kept trying to explain that Phil mistook him for somebody else.

==Origin==

On one of these missions, Hercules met Megara, a girl who was held captive by a centaur named Nessus. While Hercules battled the monster, Phil made a flirting attempt, Meg's refusal of him making Phil extremely angry and jealous. Much later in the film when Phil caught Hercules and Meg on a date, and Meg talking to Hades after Hercules had left on Phil's order, it was Phil's attempt to reveal the truth to the hero that almost broke up their duo for good. Phil attempted to leave for home, a distressed Meg coming to him and telling the satyr that Hercules would die if he didn't come back to help. Phil returned to Hercules's side, later watching over Meg as she died, mourning her loss along with Pegasus and Hercules.
