Phil maintains that he is a legitimate businessman, managing construction yards and the Pegorino-owned [[Honker's Gentlemen's Club]] based in [[Tudor]]. The authorities have his places of business bugged, so he speaks in generalities which will not implicate him in anything, and is especially cautious with his planning; his caution often puts him at odds with capo [[Ray Boccino]], who is far more cavalier. Although Don [[Jimmy Pegorino]] says Phil is his best associate, he also notes that Bell is mostly Irish by blood, and as such, promoting him within the Pegorino gang would lower their standing with the Five Families of [[the Commission]]. It is suspected that Phil may be having an affair with Pegorino's wife, [[Angie Pegorino|Angie]]; Ray has expressed his concerns to Pegorino, but Jimmy puts little stock in Ray's opinion, and doesn't believe the rumours. So low is his opinion of Ray, in fact (and so high his opinion of Phil), that when a scare leads Pegorino to liquidate any possible snitches, he chooses to whack Ray, his caporegime, and not Phil, who, like [[Niko]], is merely an associate of the organization. | Phil maintains that he is a legitimate businessman, managing construction yards and the Pegorino-owned [[Honker's Gentlemen's Club]] based in [[Tudor]].

At one point, Phil has a conversation with Niko which reflects the themes of hard decisions and the morality of following orders which recur throughout GTA IV. Niko's experience has led him to question orders he considers immoral, even if he does go through with most of them; Phil, on the other hand, strongly believes in following orders to the letter, to the point of abdicating responsibility. | |||
Phil is divorced, and is very bitter at his ex-wife, who won full custody of their children. | Phil is divorced, and is very bitter at his ex-wife, who won full custody of their children. | ||
