Pariston Hill

years:33 height:197 cm eye color:Brown hair color:Blonde appearance: Pariston has medium-length dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is known for his wide, cheerful smile. Unlike many other members of the Zodiac, he does not change his appearance to look like the animal he represents. Instead, Pariston always wears luxurious suits and ties.

According to Ging, Pariston's personality is similar to Netero's and his own: he enjoys playing pranks and having fun, and he doesn't care if he wins or loses, which makes him very unpredictable. He is always cheerful and smiles widely, making it difficult to read his thoughts or understand his motives. This infuriates the Zodiacs, especially Chidla, Kanzai, and Klaq. He is extremely cunning and takes pleasure in destroying what he loves most. At the same time, he is angry and at the same time enjoys competing with Ging. Pariston rarely hates anyone, although he does terrible things to them. He is curious about what he would do to someone he hates, and Ging currently plays this role. He prefers to severely punish those who treat him unfairly. He tends to treat serious situations like ordinary games, such as the election of the 13th Chairman. When he becomes chairman, he hands the position over to Chidle without a word and resigns. He also has 5,000 chimeric cocoon ants for his personal playground. Due to his extreme unpredictability, cunning, and deviousness, as well as his tendency to test the patience and endurance of anyone around him, he is disliked by all the Zodiacs and many Hunters in the Association, even more so than Jingle. Even Morel says that he would rather die than vote for a rat like Pariston. It is also shown that Netero hates him and often argues with him, but tolerates Pariston's presence because he finds being his right-hand man too boring.

During his tenure as Vice-Chairman of the Hunter Association, Pariston was second only to the Chairman in terms of influence, surpassing even his fellow Zodiacs. In fact, his influence far exceeded his position, as he controlled the Board of Supervisors, over which even Isaac Netero had limited influence, and approximately 200 Shadow Hunters through his Shadow Agency. Additionally, his charisma allowed him to gain the support of approximately a third of the Hunters by the time of the election. The day after the invasion of the palace, he sent 100 airships to the Republic of East Gorto to pick up 5,000 human-ant chimaera hybrids and transport them to NGL without anyone except Ging knowing, and he seems confident that they will carry out his orders, giving him an army of Nan users. Pariston's authority within the Hunter Association has grown in the short time he has been chairman. His status as a three-star Hunter is a testament to his achievements, as well as his significant personal wealth. He was also the second-in-command of the expedition group established by Bakdon Netero many years ago, and he oversaw the recruitment of Bakdon's followers into the Hunter Association. Until Gin assumed his nominal authority. He is also a successful businessman and, according to his own words, an experienced mediator. Pariston's level of power remains a mystery. Although he often claims to be weak, he accused Ging of underestimating him when he claimed that Marion was the strongest of the Abyss's followers. As a Zodiac, he was Netero's sparring partner, and the Abyss considered him strong enough to join his expedition to the Dark Continent.

Supernatural Perception: Unlike Leorio, Pariston could sense Nanika's aura while she was healing Gon. Increased Speed: Pariston managed to significantly outrun three armed Nan users before they could open fire. He was able to dodge their bullets while descending the stairs with his back to them and conversing with Gin at ease. Genius-Level Intelligence: Pariston is arguably one of the most intelligent characters in the series, rivaling Ging's intelligence. During the 13th vote for chairman, he was in first place in all rounds except the eighth, although he had a significant advantage to begin with; nevertheless, this advantage was gained through manipulation of the Hunter Association during his three years as vice-chairman, and even Netero and the Zodiacs could not stop him. He found a way for Ging to win the election that Kaban himself did not seem to have anticipated, namely, to bet on his son as soon as they started talking about Gon before the election even began. However, when Ging allowed Leorio to take his place in the election race, Pariston immediately realized that he had a chance and waited for Leorio's friends to save Gon so that Leorio would have no motivation to become the chairman. His last attempt to win the election also confirmed Ging's prediction that he would delay the time until Hunter's next exam. This included Chidla, whom he considered more competent in terms of procedural skills, and even surprised Ging with his sudden abdication. He was the one behind the acceptance of the Void's followers into the Hunter Association. It is also known that he has the ability to draw others into his rhythm.

Nen As a professional hunter, Pariston is sure to be able to use Nen. Apparently, he used Ren against Chidle, threatening her. Since he wasn't bothered by Ginga's own Ren, he must be able to use Ten as well.
