Then I thought I saw a light, deep below me. I hoped maybe Bart had swum clear. I followed it. Now I wonder whether I saw anything at all. My oxygen is low. The habitat is gone. I can't see the sky. Something surely has the scent of my blood.

― Paul Torgal, Data Downloads

Paul Torgal was the captain of the Mongolian vessel, the Degasi, as well as the CEO of Torgal Corp. He, alongside his son Bart Torgal and a hired mercenary named Marguerit Maida, were the lone survivors of the Degasi, after it crashed on Planet 4546B. During the months that followed, Paul had several arguments with Marguerit, regarding Marguerit's wishes to continue to delve deeper into the planet's ocean. Despite his protests, Paul and the others eventually ended up in the Jellyshroom Cave, and then the Deep Grand Reef. Here, they were attacked by a Reaper Leviathan, leaving Paul with no means of survival. It is assumed that Paul died from lack of oxygen after he followed a light he saw below him.

Personality

Rather overprotective of his son, Bart, not trusting the mercenary Marguerit Maida. Extremely cautious of everything around him and rather stubborn. Still hoping to make a profit if he makes it off of the planet.

Relationships

Bart Torgal

Despite being father and son, Bart does not appear close to his father, although Paul is overprotective of Bart and often tries to get his son to agree with his decisions. Although like Marguerit, Bart often disagreed with him, and claimed that Paul stopped being in charge of the day the Degasi sank.

Marguerit Maida

Unlike Bart and Marguerit, Paul and Marguerit shared a very hostile relationship, with both of them arguing constantly. However, Paul knew that both he and Bart needed her to survive, and reluctantly allowed her to relocate the Jellyshroom Cave. However, Paul did have breaking points with her, threatening to leave her behind if she interfered with his family again.

Trivia

• Paul's original name was Paal, in earlier development.
