Paul
From Final Fantasy Wiki
- "I'm Paul, greatest thief in all the world! They've yet to invent the loot I can't burgle or steal!"
- —Paul
Paul (ポール Pōru), also known as Pavel, is a thief loyal to Fynn from Final Fantasy II. Better at working alone than with others, he is encountered many times in the game, where he helps the party. Firion and his allies first meet him in Altair, where he tells them he will not steal from them. Paul is freed by the party after he gets captured attempting to rescue the workers from Salamand.
When Firion and his allies are captured in the Coliseum, Paul frees them. Paul also provides information about the secret passage in Fynn Castle when the party is looking for the White Mask. After the cyclone has been vanquished, Paul provides information on how to get into Palamecia and gives the party his secret stash of treasure, including the fabled Blood Sword. Later, when the group tells him about their plans to go into Hell to face the Emperor one last time, Paul exclaims that the lot of them are bonkers, but wishes them well and tells them to come home safely afterwards. At the ending, Paul proclaims that he's now no longer serving Fynn and is now stealing from everyone regardless of their role in the war, including his former allies, and warns them jokingly to watch their backs from now on.
[edit] Appearance
Like many characters in the updated version of Final Fantasy II, Paul's appearance changed. Originally, Paul looked like a ninja wearing black robes that obscured his face. However, his appearances in Dawn of Souls and the PSP collections is more in-line with the original design created by Yoshitaka Amano.
