Biography
Pagan Min (Chinese: 蒲甘明) was a Chinese male born in Hong Kong in 1966 as the son of a Golden Triangle drug lord. Min was extravagant and flamboyant, unlike his father, Gang Min, who was old fashioned and whom he deemed to be a 'dinosaur'. They had a tumultuous relationship due to his son's flamboyance. His father would belittle Pagan by claiming he was his daughter and telling him he deserved the bullying he faced at school. Very little is known about Pagan's unnamed mother, except that she was a British expatriate living in Hong Kong. The signature pink color he often wears is an homage to his mother, whom he seemed to deeply love and care for. Pagan grew to be a skilled and deadly gangster in his father's triad but became increasingly indulgent with his power. Gang froze his son's financial accounts after discovering he was having sexual relationships with other men. Gang confronted Pagan over these liaisons, clearly considering them humiliating, but after he physically struck Pagan, Pagan retaliated by killing him. Following his father's death and his inheritance of control of the cartel, Min adopted the moniker 'Pagan', in tribute to a Burmese King of the Konbaung dynasty who slaughtered his family in order to gain power. Min had ambitions beyond the small-time operations of his cartel and began to build considerable assets and a large private army, causing severe tensions with many of his allies, who began plotting his downfall. After killing his father there was a wave of assassination attempts against him, either by some factions within the gang who wanted to avenge Gang, or by rivals who sought to take advantage of the group's instability. Not wanting to keep fighting what he perceived as pointless gang wars in Hong Kong forever, Pagan and his adopted sister Yuma Lau settled all scores, left Hong Kong, and led the loyal Triads and mercenaries to find new gang territory elsewhere.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Despite his calm and otherwise charming demeanor, he can also behave in highly disturbing or possessive ways, such as when he consumed part of Ishwari's ashes. He can sometimes be sadistic, taking pleasure in tormenting, scaring, or intimidating others. He drinks heavily and it's implied he does various drugs, such as cocaine. It's not clear if he has always abused substances, or if he only started doing so after the loss of his family. By the time Ajay meets him, he seems very disinterested in running the country and only wants to act on fleeting, hedonistic and self-indulgent impulses. He tells Ajay that when he first visited Lakshmana's shrine, he walked in a sane man and came out 'like this'.
