The philosopher is a noble who arrives via immigration. It is not currently known what the trigger for his arrival is.

The philosopher has no worldly needs and makes no mandates, but also appears to perform no useful function. What do you expect from someone that spends all of his time thinking?

He has been known to do "all dwarf" tasks such as de-constructing walls and even trading at the depot, much like a child.
