## Appearances

### Debut

Battlefield of Life

Pozan is an adult male piglin who serves as the former commander of the Order of Magma, eventually being promoted to admiral by the Magma Queen for his loyalty. He is the abusive father of Pilin, who kidnapped him as a boy and turned him to become his perfect warrior, his vessel, and, ultimately, his son. Pozan is known not for his wide-spree crimes, but his extremely personal cruelty towards Pilin, whom he has abused and mistreated his entire life.

It is revealed in Pilin's Decision that Pozan had an abusive father as well when he was a child. However, instead of choosing to leave his abusive father like Pilin eventually did, Pozan poisoned him in his sleep and was promoted to his father's position. He purposely kidnapped Pilin from his true family, for the sole reason that he needed him for his legacy, and truly never cared for his adoptive son's well-being.

Pozan serves as one of the primary antagonists of the series, being the secondary antagonist of The Tree of Life, specifically an overarching antagonist of Book 1, the main antagonist of Book 2 and the co-secondary antagonist (alongside Azen) of Book 3.

## Physical Appearance

Pozan is a piglin brute. He has pink/peach skin just like other piglins. He wears a black shirt with yellow/gold wrist armor. He is very tall and large.

## Personality

Pozan was greatly corrupted at a young age, mainly due to his abusive father, who cracked down on him with the ideals of "showing no weakness", and "hiding his emotions" because they were "weak". Pozan grew up surrounded by the Order of Magma, having the ideals forced upon him, so much so, that eventually he adopted them as well. He poisoned his father and killed him in his sleep, and eventually grew to become an extremely ferocious and cruel commander.

Pozan's cruelty is first demonstrated when he invades the Heart of Fjall alongside several of the Order of Magma soldiers. He finds a family who begs to be spared, or at least for their son to be. Pozan at first refuses, until he remembers that he has no son (and presumably has no interest in having affairs with anyone), and that he needs a son to carry on his legacy of strength and dignity. He kills the parents, and takes the son, whose name was Pilin. Pozan treats Pilin just as horribly, if not worse, than how his father treated Pozan.

Pozan doesn't care about morality at all, as he suggests a plan in which thousands of innocent civilians would be killed in the City of Life. Pilin comes and speaks against this, which leads the Magma Queen to punish him by sending him out to be a spy for them against the Legion of Life. Pozan doesn't argue, and simply lets the Magma Queen do this to him, which leads Pilin to greatly resent his father. Despite this, he still seeks validation, much to Pozan's delight. Pozan has such an immense unconcern for life, that he refers to children as "it", and indeed treats them as objects.

When it battle, Pozan, like many other antagonists, has an almost "playful" attitude, speaking in a "friendly" way, though in truth he is perfectly willing and excited to kill his enemies. He has great arrogance and sees himself as far more powerful and superior to his enemies, which is ultimately his first defeat, as he underestimated Ezen's void magic. Pozan has difficulty accepting defeat and has to be convinced by someone else when he cannot win, such as Pilin when the two were still allies.

Throughout the series, Pozan is incapable of sparing his enemies, and wishes for them to die by suffering, in sharp contrast to Pilin, who believes that it is wrong to simply kill someone, particularly if they have their own story. Pozan calls this weakness, and threatens to punish Pilin if he demonstrates this "weakness", for instance threatening to execute him in the place of Skinscraper. This, however, may be a sign of insecurity on Pozan's part, that he secretly feels remorse for killing others, but doesn't want to be seen as weak. Considering his past with his abusive father, this could well be the case. However, he easily mocks anyone who thinks in this way, so it is likely not the case.

Pozan's most commonly used phrase is the calling of others "weak". In truth, however, as Pilin points out during their final fight, Pozan is the weak one. When he had the choice to leave the Order of Magma to avoid his abusive father or to stop the Magma Queen from punishing his own (adoptive) son, he refused to. He chose to stick with the easy way out, which was to just stand by. He didn't take a stand for what he believed in, he simply let injustice happen. Unlike Azen, Pozan is never able to let go of his grudge against Pilin and continues fighting till the last minute of his life, as Azen kills him, knowing that his wickedness and cruelty will escalate until he's killed, something Pilin and Ezen are reluctant to understand.

## Abilities

### Skills

* **Combat skills:** Pozan is a strong fighter in combat, as he was able to hold off against three humans, albeit with the help of his son.
* **Control:** Pozan knows how to keep others in his control, using a balance between reward and threat, as he does with Pilin. He threatens his son throughout the story and mocks him for his "weakness", but rewards him with gratitude when Pilin does something that he likes.
* **Intelligence:** Pozan is pretty tactical and strategic, as he managed to plan out the entire City of Life invasion, and actually succeeded in getting what he wanted: Ezen.
* **Magical Control:** Though Pozan himself doesn't have magic (he only had a little from Coo Coo for a temporary amount of time), he knows how to manipulate and control the essence of others, as he managed to get rid of Ezen's pearl.
* **Agility:** Pozan is able to dodge multiple of Azen's blasts, though ultimately he isn't able to overcome her well enough.

### Powers

* **Chaos magic (formerly):** For a brief amount of time, Pozan had control over a bit of Coo Coo's chaos magic and used it to strike down Pilin. However, after Azen kills him, all the magic is returned to Coo Coo.

### Weaknesses

* **Magic:** Until he got chaos magic, Pozan was vulnerable to magic, which is why his strength was able to be stripped away for a temporary amount of time by Ezen.
* **Arrogance:** Pozan greatly underestimates his enemies, particularly Pilin, whom he constantly berates as weak. This leads to his undoing, as Pilin is able to manipulate the magical energy in Pozan to strike him instead of Pilin.
* **Weakness:** As Pilin explains, Pozan is truly the weak one, not Pilin, as he could have chosen to leave his abusive home, but he didn't, and could have chosen to stop the Magma Queen from all that she did, but didn't. This leads to Pozan ultimately spiraling down and becoming worse and worse, This is put a stop to by Azen who kills him to prevent him from hurting Pilin more.
