You stole from us. Now an example needs to be made, starting with the other side of your face.
―Phil threatening Dwight.[src]

Phil is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead. He is a member of Marty's Group and served as the secondary antagonist of the episode "Sanctuary".

Overview[]

Although only seen briefly, Phil appeared to be a hostile and sadistic man, who went along with his group robbing and killing other survivors. When meeting Dwight, he immediately taunts his scarred face and was going to kill him, if not for Dwight killing him first.

Location Unknown[]

Nothing is known about Phil's life before or as the outbreak began.

"Sanctuary"[]

In The Sanctuary, Phil confronts Dwight at gunpoint, having caught him while Dwight was distracted. Dwight explains that the group had taken a man's medicine and Dwight is just here to get it back for him. Phil is amused to see that somebody did a number on Dwight's face and Dwight promises to just walk away and Phil won't ever see him again. However, Phil tells Dwight that he stole from them, and an example needs to be made, starting with the other side of Dwight's face. As Phil approaches Dwight, Dwight grabs him and throws Phil headfirst into the furnace, burning him to death. Watching Phil die, Dwight experiences a flashback to when Negan killed Dr. Emmett Carson in the exact same manner. Dwight is suddenly shot in the arm by Marty who has noticed the commotion. Dwight flees from the Sanctuary as Marty promises that they will find him.

The next day, Dwight, Sherry, Odessa and June arrive at The Sanctuary, and a severely burned and zombified Phil bangs on the inside of the furnace, distracting Dwight for a moment before June reminds him that they need to move. As the Sanctuary is falling, Marty grabs Dwight and shoves him up against the furnace which still contains a zombified Phil. Marty reminds Dwight of what he had said about giving his friend satisfaction and states that he thinks that he's going to enjoy this even more than Phil. Marty starts to unlatch the furnace door, but Dwight smashes him in the face with Negan's iron and releases Phil himself. Phil attacks Marty before he can recover, biting him in the face and starting to devour him. With the fire out, Dwight has everyone take cover inside of the furnace as the celling collapses on the herd.

Later, the group emerges from the furnace to find that all of the walkers have been crushed by falling debris, leaving only a zombified Marty and Phil impaled on a fallen beam and pinned to the floor together.
