## Personality

* ***Patient, Intuitive, and Placid.*** Paimon is cool, relaxed, and calculating. He barely ever bats an eye at the world in front of him mostly thanks to a naturally relaxed and uncaring head. He follows his instincts to stay out of trouble and trusts his gut feeling. Paimon is smart and is likely to use his wits to get out of trouble. There is a cold and chilling charm about Paimon, something that is dark and intriguing. He's not exactly the most social of wolves, but he won't deny himself to sit in on a conversation or help someone out with a menial task. It's easy to be in his company since he won't start an argument or a fight with you. He's a bit of a perfectionist and quite patient. Paimon has many plans, and he doesn't mind biding time while he aligns his chess pieces.
* ***Apathetic, Perfectionist, and Greedy.*** He shows little care or understanding for the emotions of others. He always seems to be extremely disinterested in anyone's personal affairs or feelings if it doesn't involve him. He doesn't seem to be bothered by the injury of others or even react when someone is crying, he simply doesn't know how to respond. He also appears to be completely oblivious to feelings of romance or friendship. He's not without his own personal feelings but it would seem he hides it well.  He's quite fastidious and doesn't like to get dirty and he must keep his coat well-manicured. Paimon is a big planner and takes his plans seriously, execution must be perfect and he must honor the rules he's set out for himself. He's a very harsh judge, he constantly analyzes and judges others on how they perform even the most minor of tasks. He wants to be the best. Paimon is particularly greedy and possessive, if he finds something of value to him he must have it. He's a large fan of collections and wants to find something of his own to collect, although he has found himself often uninspired.
* ***Cynical, Mean, and Selfish.*** Paimon is generally a mean-spirited wolf although you wouldn't quite know by the way he sits quietly. He's ready to bite back with intelligent remarks and bristle his fur at anyone who might talk down to him. He's generally unfriendly, but tolerant. He doesn't believe that anyone is going to be nice just for the sake of it. He's going to do whatever he wants regardless of the effects it may have on others. If Paimon wants it, Paimon gets it. He doesn't care who he hurts and he will intentionally hurt others because it suits him. Paimon isn't vengeful but he won't forget those who have wronged him.

## Pre-Group History

Paimon was born to Abbadon and Yanek, two wolves of the Arcahnise tribe. He has two brothers, both of which bore the same redder tones of their mother. Paimon took more after Yanek, a mainly dark-colored wolf who was hardly around. Abbadon was a tending mother, she gave as much love as she knew how to her children and played with them often. Her favorite thing to do was to teach them how to hunt so they could provide for themselves. But Abbadon was not a nurturing or tender-loving wolf. She was a seasoned hunter and designed for doing dangerous and demanding tasks. She couldn't give her children a home that would build them up and make them sweet and caring wolves. She taught them how to hunt, stalk, manipulate, and how to survive. The times when his father, Yanek did return to visit, he would hardly ever interact with the pups and would ridicule them as they played. He constantly demanded Abbadon's undivided attention and didn't let her out of his sight. Abbadon never seemed happy to see him, she was always different when he was around. She often would have little time to raise her children. But one day that had all changed when Abbadon and Yanek went out on a walk with a new friend of mom's and Yanek never came back. No one really knows what happened to Yanek, but Abbadon would always smirk and tell her children, "There is no need to miss monsters." And she never spoke about it further.

His brothers were always the ones who kept things lively with their creative games, games which Paimon used to love to play. He felt included by his brothers and was an equal among them. They all understood that their parents while they could protect and provide for them, they were not social beings with nurturing hearts. While his brothers could at times be cruel, Paimon was gentler. Sure, he would kill a toad or a squirrel but he wouldn't humiliate it and make a mockery of it as his brothers would. Paimon saw value in taking life at an early age. His parents themselves were hunters of wolves and would pride themselves on how many wolves they could kill for sport. Even others would hire them to kill. They worshipped no gods but themselves and lived for the thrill and taste of flesh upon their teeth. As for Paimon, he believes taking a life has meaning and needed a purpose, it wasn't just a game to him. It was art. And just like that, he had no longer played games with his brothers, he didn't follow his parents out on hunting missions. He left home at a young age and began his journey to satisfy something that ached inside him and yearned to discover what might drive a smile into his soul.

Paimon has spent his years perfecting the art of hunting. He particularly loves to hunt for trophies, like teeth, pelts, and claws. His favorite thing to do with his prizes is to create a display of the creature's pieces. He hopes that it will draw in the attention of a god or demon. Someone who may be able to answer his call for passion.

## Group History

Paimon arrives in the domain mid spring 2021. On a mission to seek a remedy for his intense allergies, Paimon wandered close to Aryn's territory, where he would be struck by an enraged black bear that had been chasing an Aryn wolf. Ezra the Aryn wolf, feeling guilty for getting a stranger injured, invites Paimon into the pack for his wounds to be mended.

After his wounds were mended, and allergies treated by Cricket, the invitation to stay was extended to Paimon and he accepted it gratefully, prefacing that he would only stay to avoid the peculiar white wolves. Through various interactions with his packmates it became clear he was not well mannered or socialized like other wolves of Aryn. But despite that, many wolves accepted his peculiar behaviors and speech with an open mind. Amara being one of them.

In the summer of 2021, Paimon had his first upclose encounter with the Hive, as he, Ori Chime, Lorarii, and Harley went out together on a hunt that soon turned them into the prey. In a fight for their lives, Paimon tried to run away from the scene, but Ori Chime was adamant in going back to finish the job on the wolves. Paimon, obediently but not enthusiastically followed her and her plan to run the wolf off the edge of a cliff. The plan succeeded, but didn't finish the job. With plans to interrogate it, Ori Chime and Paimon gathered around, Paimon suggesting to break its legs only for the wolf to suddenly wake up and launch itself off the next cliff, finally bringing itself to an end.
