Pav

Pavel Yudin, often referred to as just Pav, is a supportive NPC character and potential enemy in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. He is a sly-looking officer in the Bremen army. Pav is one of the fourteen contestants arriving at Prehevil for the Termina Festival.

Lore
During the first Great War, Kaiser demolished a village from Voronya. This same village happened to be Pav's hometown, who had his family and relatives killed during the attack.

As a way to exert revenge against the man who caused his suffering and also make sure other people would not have to go through the same as he did, Pav decided to join the Bremen army in hopes of eventually getting close to the Kaiser and murdering him. He rose up the ranks of the army, where he would eventually became a lieutenant.

Although the Kaiser's intentions were unknown to him, he was aware of his leader's obsession with Prehevil and decided to follow him all the way to the Bohemian city, in hopes of a chance of killing him. However, he was chosen to be one of the 14 participants in the Termina Festival that would soon take place. Leaving the train in a hurry, he is not present when the protagonist starts their journey.

Location
Pav can first be met if the player either recruits Abella or avoids talking to Henryk before exploring Tunnel 7 and exiting it through the pre-drawn Rher Sigil next to the first Telelectroscope. He'll be waiting at topside. His dialogue will be different for each possible protagonist:

Pav can also make an appearance at the Sylvian square in the inner city while playing as Karin.
 * As Levi he'll dismiss the fact that they were former enemies, though he'll remark on the lack of boots on his person.
 * As Marina he'll make "advances" on her, in an inappropriate manner.
 * As Daan he'll tell him that doctors going rogue are not appreciated.
 * As Abella he'll call her a mature woman and tell her to behave herself because he's an itchy trigger finger and he's jumpy around mature women.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Hollow Tower on Day 2 Night, if he is still alive, you will witness an exchange between the Kaiser and Pav, leaving the latter injured. By approaching him, the player is given the option to finish Pav off or help him, which requires a cloth fragment. The player can then bring Pav back to the train to recover. Pav will awaken after advancing time once and speaking to him will offer additional information about his background and motives like not being a part of the Bremen army, anymore. This event will only happen if the player is there to witness it.

If the Hollow Tower scene was not triggered before Day 2 Morning, Marcoh will have an altercation with Pav in front of the Restaurant, and Pav will shoot and kill Marcoh (as well as Tanaka, who will also be present if still alive) unless player intervention takes place. Stopping Pav will lead him to ambush the protagonist to an unavoidable battle to the death. This event will take place regardless of the player witnessing it or not, and Marcoh and Tanaka will be killed offscreen if the player is not there.

Pav does not have a Moonscorched form: he will always die before turning, either offscreen, by the player's hands or of the wounds he suffered from the Kaiser's retaliation. Getting him back to the train will let him live up to Day 3 Night, the longest time he can survive during the Festival.

Trivia

 * Pav's name comes from  Pavel , which is a Slavic rendering of the Greek name  Pavlos  . In English,  Pavlos  is rendered as  Paul  . It comes from the man who becomes a devout fellow of Jesus, Saul, whose name is rendered as  Pavlos  in Greek and then  Paulus  in Classical Latin, which in turn becoming  Paul  in English and  Pavel  in various Slavic languages. The name means "Humble"; "scarce"; "rare"; "small".
 * The name is ironic because Pav doesn't act in a humble manner and isn't quite 'small' either.
 * His reasoning in wanting to kill the Kaiser mirrors Ragnvaldr because in the Kaiser's past as Le'garde the famed Captain of the Knights of the Midnight Sun, he razed Ragnvaldr's village to the ground in search of the Cube of the Depths, with Ragnvaldr swearing revenge against the man that is now known as the Kaiser.
 * Pav is one of two Termina participants, alongside August, who never become Moonscorched.
