Paithos

Paithos is a supporting character in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. He is the uncle of Amiti and ruler of the kingdom of Ayuthay.

Biography
As the ruler of the kingdom of Ayuthay. He presides over the kingdom in a time of prosperity brought about by the activation of the Alchemy Well.

He is saddened when his nephew, Amiti (the crown prince and heir to his throne, since Paithos has none of his own), informs him that he must depart with Matthew and co after learning the power of Insight, but is nonetheless acceptant and encouraging of his kin's decision.

Spoiler warning.

After the eclipse, if the player returns to Ayuthay, they will find Paithos absent from his thrown. He is in fact, ill and bed-ridden within the inn. He is glad to see Amiti, and tells the boy that he must assume the throne, as he is bound for death, but Amiti turns him down, saying that his quest is not finished, and the world is still in danger. Paithos then says that he will endure at the very least until Amiti and friends have accomplished their ends.

Though he is not seen again after the end of the game, it is presumable that he will have passed.
