==Summary==
Philip Wittebane, later known as Emperor Belos, is the main antagonist of the Disney Channel animated series, The Owl House.
Philip arrived at the Boiling Isles from the Human Realm during the Deadwardian Era, keeping a written record of his experiences on the Boiling Isles as he endeavored to find a way to return to the Human Realm. However, Philip began to harbor a hatred and resentment towards witches and magic because of his inability to adapt to the environment of the Demon Kingdom, which ended up in him wanting to do away with it.
In order to fulfill his purpose, he acquired a new identity, a witch named Belos. He claimed to the witches that he had the ability to speak to the isle, that they were misusing magic by mixing it, and that he was the only one who had the right to do so, convincing them and creating a system of covens to restrict the witches' use of magic and knowledge.
Currently he's the emperor of the Boiling Isles and the overseer of the Emperor's Coven, who created the Coven System for categorizing magic into specific disciplines instituted by himself in preparation for the "Day of Unity", which would combine both the Human and Demons realms to seemingly create "a utopia free of wild magic".

|-|Emperor Belos=Same as before to a greater extent, Body Control, Bodily Weaponry, Shapeshifting (Belos' unknown condition causes him to transform into sludge or a sludge-like appearance. Has shown control over his shapeshifting, however, and has used it to reshape his distended limbs into sharp blades and spikes), Artificial Magic (Does not perform basic spells like the spell circle and achieves magic through an apparatus, such as use of his mechanical staff or other devices. In spite of this, Belos is an adept in the practice, achieving a vast amount of skill, power, and knowledge with artificial magic that he is described as the most skilled and powerful Witch to ever live. Belos' magic seems unaffected by Luz's cape made of Witch's Wool supposedly capable of deflecting all magic), Telekinesis (Frequently uses telekinesis to move objects and people without touching them, signified by his gloves glowing red), Summoning (Belos is able to summon and command fleshy tendrils to bend and form claws. Summoned a massive worm-like creature during his fight with Luz), Teleportation (Shown to be capable of disappearing by melting into the floor to avoid attacks), Telepathy (Luz, Willow, and Gus heard his reprimanding voice when they were in the castle's artifact display), Earth Manipulation (Able to raise sharp spikes of rock up from the ground), Mind Manipulation (When Lilith presented her sister Eda in her cursed Owl Beast form, Belos hit Eda with some kind of spell from his staff which made Eda regain consciousness), Petrification (Turned one of the old Golden Guards into Stone and tried to do the same to Luz)

While weakened, dragged himself dozens of meters in a very short amount of time, faster than how Raine could reach those distances, despite Raine being comparable in combatOwl House; S3, E3), Varies travel speed via Possession (Possessing a strong enough host allows him to quickly extend & grow his body across the target, having done so across the body of the continent-sized Titan in minutes)

Weaknesses: His most defining trait by far is his narcissism. Belos has a holier than thou mentality and is fully convinced that his genocidal crusade against witches is a righteous task that would free humanity from evil. Belos’s form is melty and unstable, and he must consume Palismen in order for him to hold his humanoid stature.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
*Glyphs: Philip could draw and create glyphs after learning it from his natural surroundings. He has also had these glyphs etched on his skin and arms, apparently as his research in glyph magic. However, this had malignant side effects on his body, resulting in his arms pulsating and swelling whenever the glyphs try to activate, thus intensifying the physical injuries he sustains.
**Plant Glyph: By drawing the glyph, Philip can grow plants.
**Ice Glyph: By drawing the glyph, Philip can make ice.
**Fire Glyph: By drawing the glyph, Philip can make fire.
**Light Glyph: By drawing the glyph, Philip can create small orbs of light.
**Teleportation: By etching a tetrameric set of glyph combinations on the ground, Philip could transport himself and anything standing on it to where he wished.
