Biography[]
Phillip is from Europe and speaks German. In the early 20th century, he served Viago under the promise of being turned into a vampire. Viago fell in love with a young human woman named Katherine who moved to New Zealand with her family. Viago had Phillip transport him to New Zealand in a shipping crate. Phillip got the address wrong and Viago’s arrival was delayed by eighteen months. By the time he arrived, she had found a new love.
During the documentary filming, Viago became friends with the human software engineer Stu, who introduced him to many new technologies. Stu taught Viago how to use Skype and he was finally able to track down Phillip. Viago had a video conversation with a 90 year-old Phillip and explained the mishap with the address. Phillip was upset that Viago never turned him into a vampire and let him age before he could do anything with his life. Feeling awkward, Viago hung up on him.
