Personality
Philip Blake is a cunning, savage, cruel, remorseless, brutal and highly intelligent murderer who is prone to fits of psychopathic rage and lacks mercy to his victims. Philip puts on a facade of congenality and in reality, he was a volatile, depraved sociopath who is very capable of cold-blooded murder. He was a smooth talker, easily able to talk his way out of situations using his charm. He was also highly manipulative and thought nothing of others and coercing them into doing his bidding.

After losing his wife, Philip became obsessed with protecting his only daughter and remaining relative, Penny, trying to accomplish this by locking her up in a cell to keep her from facing the dangers of the world. He also kills anyone he believes is a potential threat to him or his daughter as well as killing people to further himself. He also had other dark secrets: having a secret room which had his victims' severed heads in fish tanks, which he believes would harden himself by watching them for long periods of time in order to both protect himself and his daughter as well as continue his murderous actions.

Philip gradually became much more cold-hearted and a barbaric person when his daughter was rescued and taken away from him, triggering severe homicidal desires within him and he loses most of his sanity and only desired to be on a warpath, seeking retaliation on those against him and responsible for saving his daughter.

Milton Mamet

However, Milton eventually started to become afraid of Philip however he still continued to tell anyone about Philip's true nature due to Philip having dominance and fear over him.
