Golden Path

The Golden Path was formed by a Royalist Guard named Mohan Ghale after Pagan Min took over Kyrat and turned the country into a dictatorship. Collecting the remnants of the Royalists and some volunteer civilians, Mohan had trouble fighting the Royal Army. The Golden Path fighters were trained, but were losing the war because of Pagan's forces vastly superior numbers and equipment.

(Spoiler Alert! You've been warned!)

Mohan's wife, Ishwari, was sent to the Royal Palace to be a spy. Ajay, Mohan's and Ishwari's son, was taken to the palace too, to bolster the cover. But in a twist of fate, Ishwari and Pagan fell in love, with them having a daughter, Lakshmana. When Mohan found out, he killed Lakshmana. Soon after, Ishwari shot Mohan and fled to America with Ajay. Ishwari never told Ajay anything about Kyrat, Mohan or Pagan.

Now, the Golden Path is led by Amita and Sabal, who always argue about everything. Sabal is a traditionalist, and believes that heritage and religion will save Kyrat. Amita, on the another hand, believes traditions are shackles that keep Kyrat from being anything except than a backwater nation.
