## Paz

### Voiced by

Troy Baker

**Paz**, short for **Pazelius**, is a skull that is kept at the Unknown's side. He serves as the narrator, as well as Unknown's voice. He seems to be very knowledgeable about Hell and its inhabitants, often talking about the current Hell the player is in as well as the enemies within it. He is very powerful, able to shoot fire from his mouth and call down lightning from the skies that can crystallize enemies.
Before, Paz was an Archangel and served as the Instrument of the All. Through unspecified means, he got himself cast down to help the Unknown in her journey.

Paz is voiced by Troy Baker.

## Appearance

Paz is a skull with four horns that have broken off over time. There are runes inscribed around the skull that glow when he is in use as a weapon. His eyes glow with fire as well. When not being used as a weapon, his eyes glow blue or white instead.
As an angel, he was similar in appearance to the Seraphs, though his horns curved upwards. He wore a white robe, with a second, dark grey one underneath.

## Story

Paz begins the story describing the Unknown, and how he aided in helping her escape by breaking the Anguish gates that held her back. The tutorial level opens with Paz recounting the memory of their meeting with fondness. He can feel the atmosphere shifting as the Unknown makes her way towards him. They make their way through Voke together, with Paz remembering his powers as they go. He explains that with each fallen Aspect, Unknown regains some of her voice, and he regains power and old memories. He sees a flash of something from long ago, but can't quite recall what it means to him.

Paz continues about his memory, starting to piece together fragments of his past. He states that the actions of the Unknown will draw the attention of the All, as things were becoming unstable. As the Angels come down from the Heavens, Paz makes his distaste for them very clear. With the arrival of the Angels, Paz's memories begin to return to him. He sees a memory of the Red Judge, taking the Unknowns voice and silencing her. The Unknown watches on in terror, unable to do anything.

Paz is suddenly torn away from the Unknown by the curse of Disposession. While the spell is underway, he recalls his past as an Archangel. His true form is revealed as he explains his duties as the Instrument of the All, though he hated his time spent in Heaven until singing the Unknown's song. Through unexplained means, he got himself cast down to Hell, landing outside of Voke to wait for the Unknown. In this time, his body decayed as did his memory, leaving only his skull. He is retrieved,though he told the Judge everything he knew.

As the story comes to an end, he goes through the barrier between Heaven and Hell with the Unknown. The setting changes to the Prime, a cityscape at night with empty streets. Down an alley covered in Hell-themed graffiti, there is a bar called The Outsiders. Inside is a now-human Paz, sitting at a table with a drink in hand, recounting the story to another patron at the bar. As he finishes his tale, the doors behind him open, and he turns to see the silhouette of a woman resembling the Unknown. He gives the person a knowing wink as the screen fades.
