Philemon is a recurring character in the Persona Series. He is the deity who awakens a person's ability to summon Persona. His appearance is that of a man wearing a butterfly mask.

Persona

After the kids play the Persona game and summon a demon, they are each transported to a dream world where Philemon meets them and grants them the power to summon "their many selves within" -- or Personas.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin

After the fight between Tatsuya, Lisa, and Eikichi they become unconscious, while knocked out the 3 meet with Philemon and are granted the power to use their personae.

Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES

Philemon may have appeared in Persona 3 in his butterfly guise. Only the playable characters who met Philemon could summon multiple Personae, but others, who had not encountered him, could only summon a single Persona. In Persona 3, this is explained to be due to one possessing the Wild Card. The only two characters to possess this ability in Persona 3 and it's epilogue, both had an encounter with a glowing blue butterfly, which may be Philemon. The name "PHIL" which welcomes to main character in the online game "Innocent Sin", may also be a reference to Philemon.

Persona 4

The save points throughout the game are blue butterflies flying in small circles. This is a sign that Philemon is still watching over the player.
