Paul Blank is a Dark-type Gym Leader whose gym is based in the Spider Quarter of New Blackroot and is an honorary commander of Team Aura. As Gym Leader, he gives out the Enigma Badge and TM66 (Payback). He is based off of Sovest555 in real life, and he also becomes Champion of the Marenar Region during the events of Symbiotic Chronicles. He then went on to share that post with Max Miller when the league transitioned to the Illidar region. He is also one of the protagonists of Grey Chaos, and is the literal representation of Sovest555 in the story.
