- "You must be young. When you've been 25 for 85 years like I have, knowing only a random act of violence can take your life, you learn to appreciate what you have."
- ―Philippe Weis to Will Salas.
Philippe Weis is a rich entrepreneur and the father of Sylvia Weis. He is very worried about Sylvia's recklessness and wants her to be with her two guards all the time. When she gets kidnapped by Will Salas and they team up, he gets Timekeeper Raymon Leon and the others to bring Will to justice and bring his daughter home. After Will and Sylvia rob many of his time banks, he recruits more security to follow him around. Eventually, Will and Sylvia bribe their way into New Greenwich. Will infiltrates Phillipe's guards and forces them to lower their weapons after Sylvia distracts them. Will and Sylvia then take him and go up to the safe room and they steal one-million years from his safe to distribute in Dayton.
