Meriwether County, Georgia
Philip was born in the mid 1960's and grew up in Meriwether County alongside his brother. The pair experienced a rough childhood and thus held a negative relationship with their father whom was physically abusive towards them both. As a child, Philip often played chess with his father which he frequently lost to, as he often pressured Philip into making quick decisions and thus never showed mercy, which caused Philip to lose confidence in himself. At a young age, the brothers were caught smoking a pack of cigarettes belonging to their father in a garage. His brother intervened, taking the blame for their actions (when in actuality it was Philip who was responsible). Regardless, the siblings were beaten up by their father. The futility of his brother's attempts to stand up against their father had a strong impact on Philip's development and led him to believe of heroes as fools who only bring harm upon themselves and others. In spite of his brutal upbringing, Philip grew to become a family man where he had a beloved wife and a daughter named Penny where the three lived together as a typical family. He also had a pet dog who he called a "wonder of stupidity", and jokingly said that it "lost a fight with a tree once". Over time however, Philip gradually grew to become dissatisfied with his plain, mediocre life where he worked as an office drone under a younger and unintelligent boss who hounded him for several years. Eighteen months prior to the outbreak, while at work one day, Philip received a call from the hospital informing him that his wife had tragically died in a car crash. This event left Philip emotionally devastated, especially after she had previously left a message for him to call her back, which he never did, (an action for which he deeply regrets). After her death, Philip and Penny began to rely upon each other.
Woodbury, Georgia
After the onset of the outbreak, Philip alongside his daughter and nine other survivors barricaded themselves up in an apartment (for an unspecified amount of time) before they eventually moved out, picking up several new group members along the way notably including Milton Mamet, Martinez, Shumpert. They eventually discovered the abandoned town of Woodbury. After they secured the town, Philip established a fortified community which gradually began to increase in numbers and through his charisma he established his leadership role and became known as "The Governor", a name he didn't approve of. His community eventually grew to contain about 73 survivors. His charismatic personality led many of the community to look up to Philip and admire his leadership. At an unknown point however, Penny tragically became infected and later reanimated. Due to his inability to come to terms with his daughter's death Philip kept her infected corpse locked away inside his closet (which he kept hidden from the community.) Penny's death affected him severely, and most likely contributed towards his development into a ruthless, pragmatic and hardened survivor. It is hinted that Penny may have died as a result of people as the Governor would reveal that had he been murderous from the start of the outbreak, she would still be alive. Philip resided in a lone apartment where he kept a collection of severed heads encased in water tanks, the reason behind this was to prepare him for the outside horrors. The Governor commanded his group to scavenge for food, supplies and weaponry in order to help strengthen the community during which he and his group raided several camps and killed numerous innocent survivors in order to accomplish this. In addition he sent out several groups to capture and imprison walkers - which would then be utilized for stage fight tournaments as a form of entertainment for the residents of Woodbury. It was during this period where the Governor eventually came across a mortally wounded Merle Dixon whom though noted his erratic behavior was impressed with his skill and thus appointed him as one of his lieutenants.
