Phil of Fantasia

Ok my Phil of Fantasia that I had put away from when I had first started the game (since I did not want to change races at the time) so I had held onto the Phil until I had unlocked a retainer to hold onto it for me. So I left there for the whole duration of the time I've played to now I decided to change my character to see that it is not there anymore. I have checked everywhere for the Phil but had no success in finding it, I had sorted my retainers inventory so i know it would also be in the same spot every time what do I do?
