Biography
Philemon is a man, or deity, who wears a butterfly mask. He lives within the realm of the subconscious and he awakens within people the ability to use Personae. Philemon serves as a neutral observer and he watches as things things unfold. He cannot directly interfere, however, the party is aided by The Velvet Room, which is filled with his servants. Philemon is conducting an experiment with Nyarlathotep to see if humans can become enlightened being, or if they destroy themselves. While Philemon continues to play by the rule, Nyarlathotep directly manipulates events to insure the destruction of mankind. Interestingly, Philemon actually looks older in Megami Ibunroku Persona.

Historical Information
Philemon comes from the writings of Carl Jung, specifically that of a "wise spirit guide".
