## History

Nothing very notable happened in his youth, but his father was very strict and demanding. Paul was required to have a very advanced and harsh education, which he didn't succeed in. As his father put more and more pressure on him, he grew to hate his father, and developed a cold and impulsive nature, similar to him.

After the early and unexpected death of his mother, Queen Lana, Paul changed completely, it was like he was a different person.

##### Life as King

Almost ironically, King Alexander was assassinated, making him ***King Paul I of Willow Creek at the age of 45***. Before his coronation, he quickly divorced his estranged wife and married Adelia, who turned human for him, and the two were crowned together at the Royal St. Granger cathedral in Willow Creek.

Despite his cruel and isolated past, Queen Adelia convinced him to be more open and calm, especially outside where the public closely watched him. During the last years of his life, he could be seen fishing with his grandchildren and walking in the parks with his daughters.

##### Death

He died at the age of 68, while with his wife and daughter. Though he had a rough past, his determination and strength to protect his people is still held in high regard for his 23-year reign.

## Relationships

During his time as the Crowned Prince, His wife at the time, Crowned Princess Karla always found little things to yell at him and his daughter about, which he would just brush off and ignore, but after his mom's passing, he stood up for himself and even did the same thing to her out of spite. Not to mention, he argued more with his arrogant father, King Alexander, and anyone who tried to get close, further isolating himself from his family and the country at large. Around the time his father's health started to decline, Paul began seeing another woman, Princess Adelia of Forgotten Hollow. Quickly, they formed a relationship. After some time of secretly dating, Paul asked Karla for a divorce in order to marry Adelia, since he didn't want Karla to be his queen, but she refused and wanted to continue their decaying relationship.

His father married two more times, Queen Araminta, and then Queen Fallon, but he didn't get particularly close to any of them and remained alone. He was nice, however, to his kids, Princess Helena and Prince Karl, and would try his best not to loose his temper on them.
