He was interviewed in one of the front page articles of Issue 1034 of ''[[The Cupid Courier]]'' on the topic of the large shipments of [[Thymon Plushy|Thymon Plushies]] which had been arriving in the [[Cupid Homeworld]] by means unknown, speculating that [[Lord Thymon]] himself was the one ordering and transporting them. Philatel also placed a classified ad on Page 2, promising shipping discounts to any Cupids who sent him new stamps to add to his collection. The offer pointedly did not apply to [[Foreman-964]], and, in turn, Foreman's own classified ad, a recruitment drive for the [[Department of Construction]], specified “no stamp-collectors allowed”.

On [[Halloween]] 2019, Philatel got into the spirit of the holiday, making paper cutouts of bats and affixing them to the Post Office walls with [[Lord Thymon]]'s help. After the [[Spirit Realm Gateway]] malfunctioned and allowed [[the Great Ghost's legion]] into the [[Cupid Homeworld]], Philatel was transported to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] by the [[Emergency Transport Button]] along with the other Cupids, only to be the one to remember that they'd left their whole fleet of [[Fog Ship]]s in the Homeworld at the ghosts' disposal. Later, when [[Foreman-964]] foolishly activated the [[One-Way Forced Spirit Realm Gateway]], Philatel jumped in to try and stop him (though he had not actually understood ''what'' Foreman was doing, merely working off a default assumption that it would likely be worth stopping). This resulted in him temporarily being sent to the [[Spirit Realm]] alongside Foreman, [[Pythagoras-858]], [[Technician-042]] and [[Igor-1612]]. When Pythe figured out that they could now “haunt” the Homeworld, Philatel took advantage of his short time as a “fearsome shade” to “haunt” the [[Department of Construction's headquarters]] and tear Foreman's current stock of warehouse blueprints to shreds. They were soon returned to the corporeal world by [[Juliet-178]], whom Pythe had managed to contact via haunting in order to tell her how to access the machine's reverse switch. Later in the day, after the ghosts had been dealt with, Foreman discovered what Philatel had done and “chased [him] across the Homeworld with a steam shovel”.

Philatel was one of the Cupids who submitted a question to ''[[The Cupid Courier]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> educational Q&A about the [[Rift]]s with [[Doctor Sigma]]. However, Philatel, head of the Department of Postal Services, just used the opportunity to complain about his rival, [[Foreman-964]] of the Department of Construction, sarcastically asking if the noise created by a construction site could qualify as the kind of “major disturbances in the fabric of reality” which could sometimes trigger Rifts.
