Phillip is Brandon's accomplice, who goes along with the plot, but exhibits a number of reservations. While he is also seduced by the darker allure of Nietzschean ideals, he is less intent on following through with the actual murder than is Brandon. Rather, he submits to Brandon's will, and struggles to keep it together in the wake of their evil deed. Highly strung, with an intense feeling of guilt rising inexorably to the surface throughout the night, Phillip spends the night drinking and compulsively playing the same song on the piano to calm his nerves.
