Biography[]
Background[]
Little is known about De Pleur's early life, but according to his speech to Darpan in the opening, he was forced to become a desk jockey, leaving him disgruntled. He found motivation in finding his calling after seeing an episode of Dr. Phil, and decided to travel to Kyrat. At some point in his life, Paul met a woman named Laura, and the two eventually married and had a daughter together named Ashley. Due to his business trips, Paul was often away from his family, but would keep in contact with his wife and daughter via phone calls and letters.
It can be assumed that at some point he went to Kyrat where he met the king of Kyrat, Pagan Min. Min found potential in De Pleur and included him in his Royal army. Eventually, De Pleur climbed the ranks and became the leader of the army and a right-hand man of Min, next to Yuma Lau. While Min became a recluse, Kyrat was split between different governors who report to Min. De Pleur was given to control the peaceful and full of villages Lowlands region of Kyrat and makes his fortune running guns, selling tea and cultivating other illegal crops. He also throws parties in his 'City of Pain.' After Pagan had Dr. Noore Najjar's family killed, De Pleur had his daughter write letters that would be given to Noore to think her family were alive.
Far Cry 4[]
De Pleur is first seen in his mansion. He, along with Min, greets Ajay Ghale who came to the country to scatter his mother's ashes. He then leaves to torture Ajay's acquaintance Darpan, a founder of the Golden Path. Ajay manages to escape from the mansion with the help Sabal and is forced to leave Darpan to be brutally tortured and presumably killed by Paul.
Later on, Ajay attacks (he has the to destroy) a brick factory, containing opium that was supplied by De Pleur and that is to be processed into heroin.
Finally, Ajay is ordered by the Path to find and capture De Pleur. To do so, Ajay infiltrates De Pleur's "City of Pain" where he frees several slaves. While rescuing one, Ajay dresses himself as a kidnapped slave and overhears a conversation between Paul and his daughter. Ajay knocks out cold Paul and carries his body to a nearby. After Ajay shoots their way and into safety, Paul asks him why is he doing this. Ajay tells him that Dr. Noore sends her regards. Paul laughs hysterically at this due to the fact that he and Pagan killed her family years ago and have sent her false letters from her family (Paul even admits that he wrote the letters with some help from Ashley whom he sees as a future writer).
After being delivered to the Golden Path HQ, De Pleur screams hysterically due to his daughter calling and begs Ajay to give him his back before being taken away by Sabal, Amita and some Golden Path members. De Pleur's is then outside of Banapur Village in a box, forced to listen to his mobile phone ringing as his daughter tries to call him.
Personality[]
De Pleur is described as a sadistic and brutal psychopath, who poisons the peaceful Lowlands through fear and torture. In one of Far Cry 4's trailers, Depleur is seen torturing Dharpan and telling him that he is "terrorist" while calling himself a "good guy". Though brutal and sadistic, he is friendly outside of his work, trying to keep in touch with his family or apologizing to one of his victims for not being on time. De Pleur deeply loves his family, and if kept imprisoned instead of killed, he will beg to speak to his daughter as his phone is ringing. Despite this, he had Ashley unknowingly aid him in his crimes, such as writing fake letters of Dr. Noore's family to keep her in line.
