He seems to know about the Dark Hour, Tartarus, Shadows, the Ordeal to the next Shadow to every full moon, and to know about "The Fall". Pharos is an important figure in Persona 3, appearing as a young child, he is first seen upon the arrival of the Makoto in the dorm, where he gives Makoto a contract, prompting him to sign his name. It is later revealed that the contract that Pharos had Makoto sign allows him to access the Velvet Room, with his reasons and purpose unknown. He is shown to have a certain understanding towards the Shadows, and upon Makoto's first attempt of summoning his Persona, Pharos can be seen smiling in front of Makoto, encouraging him to fire the Evoker. Pharos is shown to be residing within Makoto's psyche, where he shows up only within the period of the Dark Hour. It should also be noted that Pharos can only be heard and seen by Makoto. Pharos constantly speaks of "the Fall", and would often reveal vague hints of the Dark Hour's nature, along with the "ordeals" every full moon.
