Bio

[edit]
The honorable Donté Panlin, at your service.
▶️  Donté Panlin, the Pangolier
Alias:
AR
The men and women that make up the Nivan Gallants live a life of swordplay, chandelier swinging, and tawdry romance. And while all adhere to their creed that "A life of adventure is the only life worth living," the exploits of Donté Panlin still manage to raise the eyebrows of even the most hedonistic of swordsmen.

There is no monster he won’t slay. No creature he won’t woo. No tyrant he won’t stand against. And no noble immune to his silver tongue.

Trivia

[edit]
  • Pangolier was revealed during The International 2017, alongside Dark Willow in the same trailer.[1]
  • Pangolier is sometimes labeled in the game files as "Armadillo", and other times as "Pangolin".
  • Pangolier speaks some French phrases, and has a French accent.
  • A swashbuckler is an heroic archetype in European adventure literature that is typified by the use of a sword and chivalric ideals.
  • Pangolier's character was likely partially inspired by "The Three Musketeers"' D'Artagnan (for his mannerism, hot-hotheadedness, and French phrases) and "Zorro".
  • Some of Pangoliers abilities have different names in the game files:
  • "Rolling Thunder" was the name of an American bombing campaign during the Vietnam War.
  • The name of Rolling Thunder references a scene in the anime Haikyu!! -- During a practice session, Nishinoya, who has a quirky habit of spontaneously coming up with ridiculous names for the moves he executes while practicing receives, enthusiastically yells "Rolling Thunder" while rolling on the floor and receiving a ball at the same time, shocking his teammates into silence. The other characters laughs at his receive and asks where the "thunder" is as it's only a normal rolling recieve.
  • When killing Kunkka ▶️ "What to do with a drunken sailor? Simple. Stab him in the heart." refers to the famous folk song/sea shanty "Drunken Sailor" (also known as "What Shall We Do with a/the Drunken Sailor?").
  • When meeting Death Prophet as ally ▶️ "Try to look on the bright side of life." is a reference to Eric Idle's famous song "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life", featured in the classic Monty Python movie "Life of Brian" IMDB.
  • When meeting ally Lion ▶️ "Which level of Hell is your favorite, Lion? I prefer the second. Or perhaps the seventh." alludes to Dante Alighieri's famous work: "Divine Comedy". There are Nine Circles of Hell in Dante's work: the second is Lust, and the seventh is Violence, indicative of Pangolier's personality. Pangolier's name "Donté Panlin" also bears resemblance to "Dante Alighieri."
  • His rivalry response towards Witch Doctor ▶️ "In my professional opinion? You're dead." is a direct quote from the Medic from Team Fortress 2.[2]
