Personality: (A decent description of your character's personality, at least one good paragraph)
Phillip is pretentious. He believes he is the very best at what he does, which he is, but he lacks a moral compass. He has a fascination with making science fiction science fact and is obsessive about it. He cares little for the feelings of others and has no problem cheating in order to become the best. He will literally let no one stand in his way to be the best in the whole world.

History:
Born in South London in the early 70's, Philip was raised along side two sisters. One older, one younger. Stuck in the middle caused him to develop a sense of entitlement. As the only son, he believed he would inherit his family's estate upon his father's death. From early on in his life he learned all he could from his father about the Watchers. His father, Reginald, was one of the Senior Watchers and poured all of his knowledge into his young son. Through his mother and sisters, Philip learned to be selfish. His sisters never shared with him and his mother made his fight for everything he got. She believed that tough love was better than coddling.
Upon leaving school Philip went on to attend both Oxford and Cambridge, graduating with degrees in Medicine and Life Sciences, as well as Genetics. Through determination gleaned from years of being kicked around by his mother, Phil studied hard and was set to graduate in the top 5 of his class at Oxford. Upon finding out he wasn't top of the class, he orchestrated several "accidents" for those fellow classmates that stood in his way. One poisoning, two auto accidents and one "suicide" later, Philip was named Top of the class and graduated with honours.
After Oxford, he went on to Cambridge where he studied Medical Law. Again, he did his very best and via the same tactics graduated top of his class there as well. Now in his late 20s and finished with University, Reginald insisted that his son join him in the Watchers' Council. Reluctantly, Philip agreed. He was a junior watcher for five years before becoming a full fledged Watcher. After this, on orders, Phil went to America to find a potential Slayer to train.
Landing in LAX, Philip was accosted by the noise of LA and thought the whole city to be disgusting and beneath him. He got a small apartment in a less than savory part of the city and began to look for a job. He ended up stopping in at a law firm, seeking something menial until he could find something in medicine. That law firm was Wolfram and Hart.
W&H saw the potential in the young doctor and hired him to work in their medical department. Philip was delighted when he saw his laboratory. Everything was shiny and perfect. He took to the job with gusto and excelled in his field, genetics.
He worked deep in the medical lab for years until he was tasked with a job, something not entirely a part of his job description. So he packed a bag and went..... home.
Arriving in London, he went to visit his father, per orders, at Watcher Headquarters. There he told his father, the only person he every trusted, about his orders. Furious, his father refused to allow his son to leave Headquarters and called for guards to seize his own son. Equally furious, Philip attacked his father and killed him in a fit of rage. When the guards arrived, Philip was gone, but still in the building. Per his orders from W&H he set a chemical explosion deep in the heart of the building then he left as fast as he could, passing a couple of young watchers as he exited.
Moments later while Philip was sipping tea in a small cafe when an explosion of epic proportions rumbled through the city. He'd done it. Philip had destroyed Watcher Headquarters. Satisfied, he returned to LA to deliver the good news.
The Senior Partners were very pleased with Philip and his position was elevated from staff to director of the Genetics lab. Once he was set in an office, Philip began to put his plan into motion, something he'd been working on since his Oxford days. Genetic splicing to create the ultimate being.
He began to experiment with humans. He created a serum of Alpha Wolf DNA along with the venom of a Master Vampire in an attempt to create the ultimate being of destruction. Failure after failure, Philip was getting frustrated. It wasn't until he contacted a buddy of his father's, Ethan Rayne, that he thought he had what he needed. Ethan was to perform the ritual while Philip injected the serum. Two more weeks and sixteen more dead bodies later, they were no closer to succeeding. Then Philip remembered the girl.
Siobhan was only a baby when she was acquired by the firm. Identified to be a Potential Slayer, W&H was using her to be the muscle for the Firm. However, when Phil offered his suggestion to the Senior Partners, that he use Shiv in his experiment, they agreed. Potentials were a dime a dozen these days anyway.
With Ethan at the Book and Phil handling the serum, they injected Shiv and four grueling hours later, there she was, still alive, but changed. It had worked! Philip dubbed his new race Reavers.
Three days later, as Shiv was being trained, a worker from the mail room got too close and she bit him. He writhed and screamed for an hour or two before rising as a Reaver. The species could continue through bites, like the werewolf and vampire. Philip sequestered Shiv in a bunker to train her and make sure she answered only to him. he needed her to be obedient to him.
Now, he was sending Shiv to Sunnydale to join the growing squad of potential slayers. W&H had ordered him to send her there to infiltrate the Slayer's cells and find out how she worked, and how to stop her.
