Pavel was a Grisha Inferni and the twin brother of Polina.
Biography[]
When Kaz Brekker and Inej Ghafa infiltrate the little palace in an evil plot to kidnap Alina Starkov and sell her to the highest bidder, Pavel sees them acting suspiciously. Before he can investigate further, he has to perform alongside his twin sister for the King, Queen, and prince of Ravka. Afterwards, he begins to investigate the people he correctly guessed were not real elite guards and instead infiltrators. While this takes place, one of his fellow Grisha is brutally murdered and another assaulted.
Kaz and Inej split up, but Pavel enters the chapel behind Kaz and searches the pews. While looking for Kaz, he talks about how they shouldn’t be there. However, Kaz knocks him to the floor and violently crushes his hand with the intent of preventing him from using his power. Pavel manages to stand and summons fire with the other hand, about to send it flying towards the gang leader when Inej comes from above and throws a knife in the back of his head, killing him.[1]
Personality and traits[]
Pavel is a determined, observant, and intelligent individual who is very protective of his home and fellow Grisha. He was quick to notice when deadly criminals infiltrated his home even though they were disguising themselves as General Kirigan's very respected elite guard during a crowded and packed event. Pavel showed himself to be a proactive person when he began to investigate the intruders who had entered his home as part of a dangerous plot.
He showed a willingness to fight if need be to defend himself and his fellow Grisha while intelligently standing on the pews to avoid an attacker. When his hand was broken, an act that would have rendered most other Grisha incapable of summoning, he managed to push through the pain to stand and summon fire with only one hand. Pavel was presumably a very good and loved brother, seeing as his death sent his twin sister into a grief-ridden rage in which she tried to avenge his wrongful murder.[1]
Physical description[]
Pavel has short hair and wears a kefta typical of an Inferni—blue with red embroidery.[1]
Powers and abilities[]
As an Inferni, Pavel was capable of directing flame. Unusual amongst Grisha, Pavel could summon fire with only one hand. He was most likely a strong and talented Grisha, seeing as he, alongside his twin sister, was one of the few Grisha chosen to perform for the royal family at the winter fete.[1]
