Paul Notos Greyrat, scion of the Asuran Greyrat family’s Notos branch, abandoned his noble lineage after clashing with his father, Amarant, forging a new identity as an adventurer. He founded the Fangs of the Black Wolf party and mastered all three primary sword disciplines—Sword-God, Water-God, and North-God—ascending to S-Class status through his signature blend of relentless offense and calculated defense.
His imposing physique featured a muscular frame, sandy brown hair partially bound in a ponytail, piercing green eyes, and a distinctive mole beneath his left eye. He wielded a double-edged longsword rumored to contain fragments of a Millis holy relic, paired with a short sword imbued with the Armor Break enchantment, capable of cleaving through fortified defenses.
Brash and charismatic, Paul’s womanizing tendencies led to dalliances with comrades Ghislaine Dedoldia and Elinalise Dragonroad. His marriage to adventurer Zenith Latreia briefly stabilized him, but an affair with their maid Lilia during Zenith’s pregnancy fractured the family. Reconciliation eventually integrated Lilia as his second wife.
The Teleportation Incident scattered populations globally, separating Paul from his family. Consumed by guilt and despair, he spiraled into alcoholism until reuniting with his son Rudeus reignited his purpose. During a perilous labyrinth mission to rescue Zenith, Paul intercepted a hydra’s lethal strike aimed at Rudeus, perishing with serene acceptance as the beast severed his body.
His legacy endured through Rudeus, who inherited his sword and adventurer card. Though flawed by infidelity and impulsivity, Paul’s fierce loyalty to his family resonated in his children’s lives. The anime’s thematic alignment of his death with International Father’s Day highlighted his duality as a troubled yet devoted patriarch.
Spin-off narratives delve into his early exploits with the Fangs of the Black Wolf, unveiling unresolved strife among members stemming from his romantic entanglements. These accounts cement his reputation as a magnetic leader whose personal choices frequently sowed discord, contextualizing the complexities of his storied adventuring career.
