The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
The head of the family, having lost his eldest son during the Annual War, elevated his youngest Philip to be his successor.

To help his son make his debut as a noble, he managed to gain an invitation for a party hosted by the Royal family. He allowed Philip to attend the royal party to welcome the envoy, Albedo.

When his son returned back to his estate, he was furious at Philip’s actions in befriending an emissary from the Sorcerer Kingdom. He scolds him for trying to befriend the kingdom that killed his older brother rather than deepening his relationship with the Count and other nobles. Philip refutes his father that the Sorcerer Kingdom is a powerful ally and doesn't want to draw their domain into a mess. His worries are not placated when Philip assures his father that he was recognized by the Count. He also feels even more unsure when he learns about his son’s support from Hilma Cygnaeus to host a ball for Albedo.

Philip eventually succeeded his father as a baron of the family territory. After gaining his newfound power, Philip wanted to fire those who had been under his family’s employ for a long time and just keep his subordinates at hand, his father’s fervent rejection of that proposal made him give up.
