Philip Lem

 is a character living in Vault 19 in 2281.

Background
was an integral part of the NCR breakout, but believes the Powder Gangers should turn themselves back in since the gang won't be able to sustain themselves much longer.

Interactions with the player character
He and Samuel Cooke are at odds over this, and Phillip will ask you to cut off the sulfur supply in the mines below the vault to prevent Samuel from getting resources to make more bombs. If you accept, it will prompt the quest Why Can't We Be Friends and he will give you a blue access key card allowing you to get into the caves.

As a member of the Powder Gangers, Lem will be hostile if the players reputation with the gang is negative.
