Early Life

Though he was introduced in Dragon Quest IV, little is known about his life and personality in the game's entire story. It would be in Torneko's own spin-off games that we discover what happened to him and his family after the event of the aforementioned game.

Paulo was born before the events of Dragon Quest IV occurred. Torneko remarked his resemblance compared to when he was a kid, both physically and mentally.[2]
