Grandfather Pantalon
Pantalon is based on one of the most important principal characters found in commedia dell'arte, a form of theatre. The character of Pantalone is entirely based on currency and ego, for he has the highest regards for his intelligence, but at every step he becomes the butt for every conceivable kind of trick. With little else to occupy his thoughts after a life as a tradesman or merchant, Pantalone is the metaphorical representation of money.
Pantalon represents the main character's grandfather, who lives inside a portrait and helps the player throughout the game, but his advice is to be taken with a grain of salt as he always used to get into trouble for bribery and corruption.
