## Early Life and Childhood

Liz explains Phillip's life as

> ' knew he had a rough childhood, his mother and him had been starving, until she married a rich man, also named Ignace. He had treated him and after her sons were born, Phillips' mom badly. Especially after Paul died. It was Ignace’s idea to send him to the French Navy. His mom just wanted him to be away from her husband. Then, Phillip died, and never was able to see his mom again. But, Ignace Jr, who fought with his brother, and who Phillip died protecting, lived, and told his mother and father Phillip had saved him and died a hero, his dad respected him. So that was good.'

## Early Life

Ares, under the alias of Thomas Hale, met Marie Bernard, and they had Philip, sometime around November 21st, 1763. He had been very poor up until he turned 2, when his half brother, Ignace was born, to Ignace Martin, a wealthy Frenchman as well as Marie. Ignace married Marie when Philip was 3 and Ignace was a year old. Philip later had Paul, who died at 5 due to illness and Marie as half siblings. Though he was closest with Ignace Jr. Ignace Sr. disliked Philip strongly.

### life on the streets

Up until Philip was 9, he grew up dirt poor. Ignace, his step-father, wouldn't allow Marie or Philip inside his house and abandoned them after Marie, Ignace Jr and Paul were born. Philip was under weight and suffered at lot as a child. He was abused physically and emotionally by his step-father.

## Revolution

When Philip was 18 and Ignace was 16, they were set off to fight in the American Revolutionary War. Ignace and Philip later left the French Navy and joined the American militia. The brothers were confronted by aggressive British soldiers during the Battle of Yorktown, and one aimed their bayonet at Ignace, who was still 16 at this point. Philip threw his hand out and got in front of his brother, with his bayonet in one hand. The soldier fired and Philip was shot in the forehead and killed, sacrificing his life to save his brother. Ignace was shocked, and horrified and went into a trance and killed the three soldiers instantly, and is then informed slightly after that the British have surrendered. Philip arrives in Valhalla shortly after.
