Phineas is the Freaks’ self-appointed leader, self-taught chemist, and self-declared intellectual. He spends his time inventing new mind altering substances and conspiracy theories. Hot tempered and committed to social change (as long as he doesn’t have to wake up before noon), Phineas has a soft spot for misfits and underdogs. He watches out for the other Freaks as much as he leads them into trouble.
