Philippe was personally asked by his brother, King Louis, to get close to him after learning he was a spy for William of Orange. Since Thomas preferred the company of both men and women, that worked to Philippe's advantage, only Thomas wasn't easily fooled.

He lost his hold upon the Duke of Cassel after he confessed his role in the conspiracy to the king and pinned Thomas as a spy.
