Philippus Hunton-Blather P. Pavlon

Philippus (Full name: Philippus Hunton-Blather P. Pavlon, Philippus which is a Latin name derived from Greek Philippos meaning "lover of horses". The name is composed of the elements "philos" [loving] and "hippos" [horse]) also known as Monsieur/Sir/Sonero Philip/Blathon (or simply Blathon''), his nick "Philip", and formally as Prince Philip, is King Arkus and Queen Erza's fifth child and third son, hence being the last-born. He is the only Pavlon child to be born single, having no twin. Philip is seemingly the most lax and passive out of the five, appearing to have done very minimal physical work. Unlike his other four sibs, Philip doesn't seem to want a job, instead preferring to cruise around the world and simply live an unperturbed life. However, behind this shadow of lazy facade is a man who constantly wards and defends lowly people from demonic forces.

Following the destruction of Everglory, Philip, alongside many others traveled the path to reach Lorefam Castle, instead entering the outskirts of the impoverished rural Okko Puro, to which Philip himself was to blame for unintentionally distracting the carriage horses. For seven years, Philip and the others had to wait at home for their two elders to meet ends. Infuriated of the treatment of his siblings and the country natives, Philip attempted to train himself in the farm basement for combat using spare tools and makeshift weapons. However, Philip's intentions reached peak when he was caught doing deadly stunts with a kitchen knife, and afterwards prohibited to leave the house. During the peasants' revolution against the Serran Empire, Philip eagerly joined, but displayed lackluster performance in combat due to unguided training. This greatly mortified Philip, and he became more obsessed with finding a quest to gain powers and skills even when he had become acknowledged as a prince again.

Several months later, Philip, who now travels the world, comes across a desolate town in the midst of a desert. Entering a nearby graveyard in his conquest for "adventure", Philip comes across an old man sitting against the wall of an opened crypt. After a brief conversation, the old man reveals a demonic dimension. Afterwards, Philip unknowingly has been passed down the role of a legendary supernatural hunter by the old man.

Philip, now with the task of defending the world against an unknown plethora of creatures. This, combined with his intense hatred for Lord Anathemous, his desire to be of use to the world, and the recent rise of a great evil, impels him to ward away demonic forces under the alter ego of the enigmatic "Midnight Stranger".
