Background
Philip is a commoner become King. While assisting in the defense of Metamor during the Battle of Three Gates, his Cannon backfired and he was covered in Whalish Fire. He would have died a grisly death if the Curses had not been cast at just that moment. He was healed and became a white rabbit. He has to sleep in a cage though, because he has a greater tendency towards going feral than do most Keepers.
The Curse of Metamor had a very strange effect on Prince Phil, and to all appearances he has not aged a day since 699 CR. Sadly, as Phil grew older his lapine instincts grew stronger, and he regressed further and further until now, under most circumstances, he is completely indistinguishable from any other white rabbit.
Current Activities
Fortunately Phil saw his fate approaching many years in advance, and when he assumed the kingship after Tenomides's death in 717 CR he quickly began moving the country toward democratic rule. By the time King Philip was unable to carry out the duties of public office — roughly around 800 CR — the island of Whales had long since become a healthy, self-sustaining parliamentary democracy, and the king was little more than a figurehead.
Interestingly, Phil's lapine regression occasionally reverses itself. Every once in a while, Phil's conscious mind partially resurfaces, and he gives some advice or makes some comment on the situation at hand. These comments are often cryptic, like the sayings of a mystic, but they are almost always eerily insightful and appropriate. When Phil does speak, his words are given careful consideration.
Home
Phil did sire a family before the Curse claimed his mind, and care of His Highness has been passed down from generation to generation through the royal line. Today Phil lives at Kyia's Citadel with his distant descendant Princess Alexandra IV, the Whalish ambassador to the Empire of Metamor.
