History[]
Background[]
Pedeaston enjoys traveling the world and logging some of his most 'exotic' encounters in his travelogue, some of which he accidentally reads on-air to the disgust of the listeners. His favorite memory seems to be a relationship with a boy named Avrindar in Sri Lanka.
His show appears to be so reviled by his listeners that at one point, the few callers who phone in proceed to insult him. For example, a caller tells him to stop droning on about other countries and focus on talking about where he lives. At one point he received a phone call from a suicidal man in Verdant Bluffs who wanted to go to hell. Pedeaston replies with "Me too! Buy me a refrigerator magnet when you get there". He also shows a preference towards countries around Asia and the Middle East, claiming that Europe is "overrated".
Pedeaston speaks with an English accent, possibly implying that he was originally from England or of English decent.
Trivia[]
- Pedeaston's surname is a possible play on the word 'pederast'.
- Pedeaston, Avrindar and their controversial relationship have also existed in some different form in the HD Universe, as seen in the in-game website freejames.org in Grand Theft Auto IV.
