Philoctetes

Philoctetes, or "Phil" for short, is a satyr (a half man, half goat). He is the personal trainer of Hercules and runs the Olympus Coliseum. He can be grumpy and argumentative at times, but equally kind and generous. He often judges people before he gets to know them. Phil's dream is to train a hero so great that the gods will create an astrological sign in the sky, and people would say "That's Phil's boy". But Phil doubts this will ever happen at times, believing dreams are for rookies. His catchphrase is "two words" where he tells someone something, but it is in three words or more... or even less - one! Goofy often counts the words with his fingers.

Phil is the coordinator of the games at Olympus Coliseum he asks Sora to move a rock thinking that he is Hercules. When Sora says he can't do it, Phil realizes it's not Hercules. He rejects Sora from participating in the games because he is not a true hero. This leads to a minigame that has Sora destroying barrels. Phil still rejects Sora from entering the games and tells him to go master this spell. When Sora leaves, he attains a pass from Hades. Phil grudgingly allows him in the games and teaches them as the games go on until the fight with Cloud. If Sora wins or loses,Cerberus shows up and attacks. Phil tells Sora, Donald and Goofy to run for it. After Hercules shows up to fight Cerberus and rescue Cloud, Phil worries about him and warns Sora when he enters the stadium to help. After the battle, Phil makes them junior heroes and from then allows Sora to compete in the games.

Phil returns as memory and still runs the games. This time around he makes it more into a race than an actual battle He also gives the rules for competing.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Phil trains Roxas for the Coliseum games, thinking he is the hero that Hercules mentioned when Roxas went on his mission with Xigbar. Roxas was often teamed with Demyx in this world, and battled against Xigbar in the final round of the games before a Guard Armor Heartless interrupted the match. Phil eventually realised that Roxas wasn't the hero Hercules had told him about, much to his dismay. However, Phil wasn't mad at Roxas and told him to come by to the Coliseum anytime he wants next time they met.

Kingdom Hearts II
Phil once again prepares games for Olympus Coliseum and tournaments for Hercules so he can wow the crowd. Phil again demands Sora do a test that is a mini game where Sora must destroy urns. Phil leaves right before the Olympus Stone is said to be stolen. Sora later finds him in the Underworld and was incapacitated by Demyx. He says he was looking for a new hero to have fight in the Coliseum since Hercules is slowing down. When the Hydra destroys the Coliseum, Phil is there to help Sora defeat it.

In the return visit Phil is seen cheering Hercules on against Auron. But also before the world is completed Donald asks Phil if they can become heroes now, Phil avoids the subject until stars in the sky form the images of Sora's group and Phil tries to hide his tears. This is most likely a sign from Zeus.

Trivia

 * He may be based off the Greek god "Pan" who also has goat legs and is the son of "Hermes."
 * A recurring joke is that each time Sora and friends tried to talk with Phil when first arriving in the coliseum, Phil mistakes them for Hercules and doesn't realize it until he turns around.
 * Another recurring joke is that he will state a number of words and then go over or under that limit of words. (This is often brought up by Goofy.)
 * Another recurring joke is that Sora and co. ask Phil if they have proven that they are heroes but Phil has yet to call them heroes, though in Kingdom Hearts, he awards them the title of Junior Heroes.
