Pagan Min was born in Hong Kong in 1966, the son of a Golden Triangle drug lord. Min was extravagant and flamboyant, unlike his father, Gang Min, who was old fashioned and whom he deemed to be a 'dinosaur'. They had a tumultuous relationship due to his son's flamboyance. His father would belittle Pagan by claiming he was his daughter and telling him he deserved the bullying he faced at school. Very little is known about Pagan's unnamed mother, except that she was a British expatriate living in Hong Kong. The signature pink color he often wears is an homage to his mother, whom he seemed to deeply love and care for.Pagan grew to be a skilled and deadly gangster in his father's triad but became increasingly indulgent with his power. Gang froze his son's financial accounts for uncontrollable spending sprees on what he deemed wasteful, such as flashy cars and reckless sexual relationships, including with other men. Pagan missed the point and did even more gangster dirty jobs for his father, who refused to unfreeze his accounts. As Pagan still refused to change his ways, Gang confronted Pagan over these liaisons, clearly considering them humiliating, but after he physically struck Pagan, Pagan retaliated by killing him. Following his father's death and his inheritance of control of the cartel, Min adopted the moniker 'Pagan', in tribute to a Burmese King of the Konbaung dynasty who slaughtered his family in order to gain power. Min had ambitions beyond the small-time operations of his cartel and began to build considerable assets and a large private army, causing severe tensions with many of his allies, who began plotting his downfall. After killing his father there was a wave of assassination attempts against him, either by some factions within the gang who wanted to avenge Gang, or by rivals who sought to take advantage of the group's instability.

Not wanting to keep fighting what he perceived as pointless gang wars in Hong Kong forever, Pagan and his adopted sister Yuma Lau settled all scores, left Hong Kong, and led the loyal Triads and mercenaries to find new gang territory elsewhere. They eventually found the chaotic Kyrat, a far cry from the consolidated hierarchy in the Hong Kong underworld. Kyrat was being ravaged by the First Kyrati Civil War between the supporters and opponents of the already fallen monarchy. Pagan and Yuma chose to ally with the Royalists and in order to gain their trust, brought forward a distant royal heir for the Royalists to continue their cause and reinstate the royal family. The forces of the two vast triad gangs led by Pagan and Yuma were further strengthened when they hired more mercenaries in the region. After months of bloody fighting against the Nationalists, the Royalists stormed the Royal Palace and attempted to crown the young heir to the throne. Min, however, betrayed the Royalists by killing the boy heir, taking the throne for himself, and brutally purging the Royalist leadership of his opponents. Min's betrayal led to Second Kyrati Civil War with the formation of the Golden Path resistance movement in 1987, who were committed to his downfall. Up against Min's well trained and well-armed mercenaries, the Golden Path, led by Mohan Ghale, met with little success. This led to tensions between Mohan and his wife, Ishwari Ghale. Ishwari wished to fight alongside the Golden Path, an activity deemed unsuitable for her by her husband, who instead chose to send Ishwari to Min's palace as a spy. Ghale's intention was that Ishwari would be sufficiently shocked by the horrors there that she would no longer wish to fight, however contrary to his expectations, Ishwari excelled in her role as a spy and Pagan came to trust her deeply, regarding her as intelligent and charming.

Mohan sought to use this trust to their advantage and even had his and Ishwari's son Ajay sent to the palace to bolster Ishwari's cover story. This plan eventually backfired when Ishwari and Pagan fell in love and Ishwari bore a daughter with him named Lakshmana Min. Mohan later found out about the affair and murdered Lakshmana before her second birthday. Mohan was soon killed by an enraged Ishwari, who then fled with her three-year-old son Ajay to the United States of America, causing Min to become a recluse. After befriending Paul Harmon, Pagan Min often visited Paul and his family in the US, where both also managed to find out the address of Ishwari and Ajay. Pagan Min held back the urge to meet her however, as doing so might result in her moving elsewhere to hide from him again. Several years later, Pagan learned of Ishwari's death and Ajay's impending return to Kyrat to spread her ashes. When Ajay, son of Mohan and Ishwari, returns to Kyrat to return his mother's ashes to Lakshmana. Ajay is given no guidance from his mother as to who or what Lakshmana is. Pagan learned of Ajay's passage via the border with India and gave orders for Ajay's bus to be intercepted. The operation is botched, as the soldiers tasked with stopping the bus open fire on it when Golden Path members emerge. Immediately after, Pagan arrives via helicopter. Pagan becomes angry with the commander because his orders were to stop or capture the bus, not shoot the bus. He stabs the commander in the neck with his pen multiple times, killing him. Pagan then realizes that Ajay is alive and helps him up off the ground, hugging him and saying he would "recognize those eyes anywhere" in reference to Ishwari. Pagan takes a selfie with Ajay and then has a bag placed over his head. Ajay, along with his guide Darpan, is brought to Paul "De Pleur" Harmon's compound.

Ajay, Paul, Darpan, and Pagan are sat at a dinner table where Pagan properly introduces himself to Ajay and explains his intentions. Pagan is noticeably bothered that Ajay does not remember who he is, and that Ishwari never told Ajay about Pagan. Darpan is caught texting the Golden Path for help, which leads to Pagan stabbing Darpan in the back and mocking his call for help as futile. De Pleur takes Darpan away for interrogation. Pagan wants to continue speaking with Ajay, but takes a phone call, leaving Ajay to himself. Ajay takes this opportunity to escape the compound and meet up with the Golden Path rebels. Throughout the time, Pagan frequently interacts with Ajay via radio and consistently displays a warm attitude toward him despite Ajay supporting the Golden Path, albeit he is sometimes irritated. Though they are not related by blood, Pagan often displays a father-like demeanor toward Ajay, showing what he refers to as 'tough love' and, at times, going so far as to guide Ajay and even save his life. This is probably because he knew Ajay as a small child when he was having his affair with Ishwari; Ajay no doubt reminds Pagan of Ishwari.

Pagan Min is known for his flamboyant dress, eccentric violence, and generally, unconcerned approach even to highly climactic events. Pagan started out as an opium-dealing crime lord in Hong Kong, but over the years he grew tired of running his father's criminal empire and wanted more. His greed and extreme narcissism led him to desire to rule his own nation, with Kyrat being his prime candidate. Pagan's rule of Kyrat is very much characteristic of a ruthless autocrat, reminiscent of totalitarian personality cults. He controls all media in Kyrat, which he floods with propaganda, and seems to come up with new laws and regulations on a whim. He can be extremely merciless, going as far as to kill a child in order to secure power for example, though his periods of particularly infamous brutality were mostly in his youth, and since the loss of his family he seems to have resigned himself mostly to passive indifference and cruelty. Pagan is a rather soft-spoken sort of person, rarely expressing emotions stronger than minor annoyance, though his anger, when incensed, can be dangerously destructive. He has a tendency to remain calm and reserved, even in extremely upsetting or tense situations. His attitude towards Ajay, despite Ajay working with the Golden Path and making an attempt on his life, is strangely warm and father-like. He seems to view Ajay’s gradual destruction of his regime, and his takeover of Kyrat, almost as entertainment, and on occasion even takes steps to aid him in that endeavor. Pagan himself claims that he wants to change Kyrat and bring the nation into a glorious future from the ashes of the old society. Whether or not there is a single slice of truth in that, as he seems to only take care of his own needs, is unknown. Despite his calm and otherwise charming demeanor, he can also behave in highly disturbing or possessive ways, such as when he consumed part of Ishwari's ashes.

He can sometimes be sadistic, taking pleasure in tormenting, scaring, or intimidating others. He drinks heavily and it's implied he does various drugs, such as cocaine. It's not clear if he has always abused substances, or if he only started doing so after the loss of his family. By the time Ajay meets him, he seems very disinterested in running the country and only wants to act on fleeting, hedonistic and self-indulgent impulses. He tells Ajay that when he first visited Lakshmana's shrine, he walked in a sane man and came out "like this". Even though he has the characteristics of a classic overt narcissist, Pagan respects the concept of family, and loved Ishwari and Lakshmana deeply, blaming the Golden Path for their deaths, though it's obvious he also struggles internally with his own responsibility in their fates and has trouble acknowledging this. Despite his desire for a family and deep personal connections, Pagan is simultaneously a recluse in his royal palace, passing off the burden of leadership to his governors Yuma Lau, Noore Najjar, and Paul "De Pleur" Harmon. Yuma, in particular, has become resentful of Pagan, lamenting that he has become weak and soft compared to the ruthlessness of his younger self. Yuma blames Ishwari for this change in Pagan's disposition, suggesting that Pagan's love for Ishwari caused him to temper the former strength which Yuma was initially drawn to.

Ishwari's positive influence on Pagan is unquestionable: Close reading of Mohan Ghale's Journal implies that Pagan met with other Golden Path leaders for peace talks around the time Lakshmana was born. In one of his calls to Ajay, Pagan mentions that Ishwari once convinced him to sponsor students studying medicine in Singapore. They never return, so Paul "dealt with their families" in Kyrat, while Pagan's contacts in Singapore tracked them down and gave each a "fitting end". He also admits to Ajay that he earned the worst of his reputation right after Lakshmana was killed and Ishwari fled Kyrat, but acknowledges that his grief was just an excuse to do whatever he wanted anyways.

1)Pagan treats Ajay like his son even though they are not related. Pagan is very patient with Ajay, at one point in the very clearly reading from a book on how to compliment him. Pagan Min is not the uncle of Ajay, but in one of the radio chats, he says, "Just checking in on my favorite nephew" and referred to himself as "Uncle Pagan". 2)He is shown to have a liking towards fashion. He is angered in the prologue cutscene when the man he stabbed to death stains his shoes with blood. He also at one point tells Ajay he's gotten a suit made for him, as he dislikes the way Ajay dresses, citing that he finds denim and sneakers to look cheap or uncomely. 3)Pagan tells Ajay he is not interested in men, even though it's confirmed he had sexual relationships with them in his early life. It's possible he is bisexual but heteroromantic, as he claims during the table scene that men don't genuine love like women do. He could also for whatever reason, be lying to Ajay. 4)The Pen that Pagan carries with him everywhere is a gift from Ishwari. It has an engraving on it from her. Pagan's pen is based on a 149 solid gold Montblanc from its appearance and price. 5)Pagan is a huge fan of Kanye West. He describes his Twitter feed as “gold” and would love to “shoot the breeze” with him sometime.

In 1987, Pagan meets Mohan Gale. In his diary, he writes that Pagan's eloquence and self-confidence gain Mohan's trust. Pagan introduces Mohan to a distant relative of the murdered King Kirat, whom Pagan brought with him and along with an army of mercenaries. Mohan realizes that Kira herself has sent a savior Cuirass to help the royalists restore the monarchy in the country and put an end to the nationalists. However, a few months later, in the same year of 1987, it becomes clear that Paigan had been lying to Mohan all along. As soon as the royalists and their mercenaries successfully capture the Royal Palace, Paigan kills the heir and declares himself king. A massacre ensues, with Paigan's mercenaries attacking the royalists and almost killing them all. Mohan narrowly escapes with a handful of surviving royalists, who later form the Golden Path led by Mohan. Pagan's influence is growing day by day, mass propaganda begins among the local population, and the inhabitants of Herat voluntarily join the royal army, and Chinese mercenaries become the royal guard, whose leader becomes Yuma. Some of the mercenaries go over to the side of the Golden Way, and a new civil war begins. In 1988, Paigan and Uma begin hunting for ancient pirate treasures, and soldiers begin searching homes and temples for Kirat artifacts, sending them to the Temple of Jalandu. In an attempt to preserve his family's heirloom, the Thanka of Kalinag, Mohan asks Darpan to divide it into several pieces and hide them throughout Kirat to prevent Uma from obtaining them.

However, as it turned out, Yuma and Paigan had different goals in their quest for relics. Yuma was obsessed with mythology and mysticism, and she was particularly interested in pirate treasures, which led her to send an expedition to the Yeti Valley. On the other hand, Paigan saw these artifacts as a symbol of Kirata's past, and he was determined to fight against it in order to promote a new ideology. He forbade the performance of traditional Kirat rituals, such as cremation on rivers, lighting of funeral fires, and visiting temples, bell towers, and chortens. He ordered the destruction of all bells and statues, and began to spread his propaganda, the "wisdom" of the king, and to "brainwash" the people, encouraging them to join the army and fight against the Golden Path. In Kirat, a propaganda publication called "The Wisdom of Paigan Min" was published, and a propaganda radio and television station was established. Sometimes Paigan threatened to kill those who disobeyed, and he declared DJ Robbie Ray Rana a traitor.

Paigan releases the collection "King Min's Kirat," which he describes in his introduction as "the most popular guide to Kirat." The collection includes descriptions of famous people, important locations, and typical animals of Kirat. Paigan's propaganda extends to these descriptions as well. In some of them, he promises to paint all the bears and vultures pink in honor of "our great king and fearless leader, Paigan Min." In others, he claims that the elephant is second only to the king in strength and nobility, and bows in the king's presence, while the service dogs, inspired by Paigan Min's teachings, display proper discipline and diligence and do not require training. In still others, he writes that the demon fish can sense treachery towards the king and only attacks those who betray him. He describes Yuma as kind and understanding, and her goal as healing Kirat's scars. He writes about himself that he will free Kirat from the chains of the past, as if he inspires the people with pride, and calls himself a shepherd who leads the people on the path of destiny, a legitimate ruler, a radiant, generous, wise, and true father of all life in Kirat. He writes about Ishwari that he tried to save her from Mohan's captivity, although she actually came to him. He calls Darpan a terrorist to the core who tried to "ruin all of Paigan's good intentions. Yuma, Nur, and Ramdan Sandhar were responsible for promoting Paigan's infallibility. Their numerous notes were filled with slogans such as "Glory to King Min!" and "Long live King Min." The propaganda even extended to local cigarettes, with Paigan ordering his portrait to be printed on the packaging of Kirat Royal cigarettes instead of warnings about the dangers of smoking.

Under Reagan, a complex system of government was created to strengthen his power, including:

Royal Radio and Television Ministry of Arts and Entertainment Ministry of Public Affairs and Social Harmony Ministry of Public Works and Trade Ministry of Animal Control Ministry of Nature Conservation and Cultural Relations Ministry of Construction Ministry of Tourism Illumination Re-education Center (Illumination Association, Children of the Future Re-education Center)

Pagan Min himself can't fully understand how he feels about this woman. He likes her humor, charisma, and intelligence.
