Pagan Min

Pagan Min was the malevolent dictator of Kyrat, a former lover of a rebel leader Ishwari, and the most famous Crab Rangoon addict in human history.

Pagan's life began in a quaint village somewhere bordering Kyrat, his parents fleeing from Communism in Eastern Europe, dropping him as a baby to the Kyrati Border Officers. Pagan was raised as a child with Kyrati parents, and fell in love with Ishwari, a girl in his village whom reciprocated the feelings.

However, Kyrat at the time was under a brutal military junta. The Golden Path, a religious traditionalist armed paramilitary whose roots were traced back to anti-Chinese Buddhists escaping into the Himalayas formed to oppose the Junta and it's army contingents. Eventually, the jealous Mohan, commander of the Path, uncovered Ishwari and Pagan's love and had Ishwari's first child killed. Pagan's mercenaries later killed Mohan and he took over the Golden Path, but nevertheless Ishwari sadly fled.

Later on, Pagan took over Kyrat in a military coup, restoring the country to moderate success and keeping his dictatorship alive for years without American involvement. This ended when Pagan's stepson Ajay Ghale, son of Ishwari, arrived to Kyrat to spread her ashes.

Due to Ajay being an American citizen, Pagan was forced to have his men capture Ajay and bring him to Pagan's Palace. Sadly, Ajay rightfully believed Pagan was a mad dictator and escaped the Palace confines with the Golden Path, whom launched a failed raid on Pagan's forces.

Pagan, feeling disheartened by Ajay's desertion, began a nationwide manhunt searching for the last remnant of his past, causing major catastrophe on the Kyrati economy he built up, as Royal Army troops burnt down farming and fishing villages in their mad search.

Pagan continued the search, but lost more and more influence across the country until his political faction dissolved and he was left alone to barricade and prepare in his palace.

Still holding a vast army, Min sicked it on the Golden Path's known outposts in a last straw attempt, concluding in a devastating battle in the mountains that destroyed the Path's army, but ultimately resulted in their victory over the Royal Army. Without a military to back up his actions, Pagan faced his fate and met Ajay at the Kyrati Royal Palace.

Ajay, in two universes, killed or spared Pagan respectively. If Ajay chose the first, the Golden Path would have a brief civil war, and either choice, Amita or Sabal, proves deadly. However, if Ajay spares Pagan, Ajay takes over Kyrat and rules it fairly.
