Philip Selway's mind never stops. He's always analyzing, conversing, and soaking up new information. He can strike up a conversation with anyone and bring energy to any social setting, but sticking to one opinion or project doesn't come as naturally. When things get too serious or high-pressure, he may struggle to buckle down, but he'll always be the one to get the conversation going again.

Philip Selway tries to keep his emotions under wraps, but his intuition is razor-sharp — he sees right through people. He doesn’t scare easily and will pursue the truth even if it stings, though that bluntness can hurt others along the way. Once he truly trusts someone, his loyalty and protectiveness run incredibly deep, and betrayal is the one thing he won’t forgive.
