How old is Pablo? He has a pretty luxurious beard for a young man.

Hmmm let’s see: 1. Multiple attempts of assassination - with the “heroes” and a literal wanted Livarian criminal. 2. Inciting a nation to commit murder to cover up said assassination attempts. Covering up your criminal activities. 3. Ongoing harassment to “find a reason” to “justifiably” MURDER the witnesses / victims of your repeated crimes.
Pablo, “not in a good light” - is not the word for this situation.

I wonder how young and naive Pablo really is? The "Patriarch" might be calling him "young" because that matches the idea that the Patriarch's the Patriarch.
However Pablo does seem somewhat naive about the diplomatic nature of the country he's employed as a diplomat to in a way that the Patriarch may not be. For example, in www.neorice.com/hoh_burk_3974 we saw that the Patriarch is a regular customer of inside info about what Heroland's up to.

@Storm...
That page was not indication that Patriarch directly was on the phone.
Just someone a very rich from Livarall.

Regarding the comments on Pablo's beard and age - I will point out that with the Livarian penchant for the use of disguises (and all manner of other items), it would not seem out of the ordinary at all if he was simply sporting a fake beard for whatever reason.
And apart from that, I have met some people in their mid-twenties who sported comparable beards, and I feel like that would still be thoroughly in the "young man" territory.
That out of the way - I know others have already mentioned the similarities between the Patriarch's throne room and Minori's temple, but still, the similarities are increasingly staggering the longer I look at it.
Which makes me especially curious about the raptor-masked person: they kind of mirror the two dog-like statues Minori had, which in turn might have been stand-ins for Terre and Lune.
Of course, that may just be some heavy over-interpretation on my part.
