Paci-Fire is an interdimensional criminal from an unknown dimension[3] who is a member of Bill Cipher's gang.
History
Background
Eons before the events of the series Paci-Fire indulged in criminal activities such as mass murder on countless moons[4] before being called together by Bill Cipher, along with the rest of his gang.[3]
Season 2
In "The Last Mabelcorn," after Ford receives Bill's warning that Weirdmageddon is coming, Paci-Fire is briefly seen on an image of a wheel with symbols. Near the end of the episode, the arrival of Paci-Fire and the rest of Bill's comrades into Gravity Falls' dimension is foreshadowed in Ford's flashback of a conversation with Bill. When Bill mockingly tells Ford that he has betrayed him, Paci-Fire's laughing silhouette is seen in the representation of another dimension projected in the Mindscape.
In "Weirdmageddon Part 1," during the cold open, Bill introduces Paci-Fire with the rest of his friends to the residents of Gravity Falls. Afterwards, on Main Street, Paci-Fire and the other demons watch Bill turn Ford into a golden statue and taunt Dipper before burning the Journals. Later in the episode, Paci-Fire is seen drinking some time punch with Keyhole and enjoying the "V.I.P." party Bill is having at the Fearamid until Time Baby and the Time Paradox Avoidance Enforcement Squadron crash the party. To the demons' delight, Bill vaporizes Time Baby and his squadron. The party then continues as Paci-Fire and the others rejoice over Time Baby's presumed death.
In "Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality," Paci-Fire and the rest of Bill's friends attempt to leave Gravity Falls to spread their chaos across the world, only to collide with an invisible barrier. Paci-Fire complains that he might have broken something, but Bill angrily tells him to "walk it off."
In "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," Paci-Fire participates in the battle against the Shacktron. Following Bill's defeat, he was sucked back into the Nightmare Realm along with his comrades.
Appearance
Paci-Fire creepily resembles a dark grey and infant-like being with enormous black horns, a pink bull-like nose, glowing red circular eyes, a somewhat scrunched face, small dark grey lips and a black tail with an arrow-shaped tip. He also has a additional face on his torso that has nipple-resembling light red eyes with red pupils, sucking a namesake red pacifier linked to a chain attached to a lone shackle on his left ankle. Paci-Fire also has a gold cross on his massive forehead with a rhombus-shaped eye similar to Bill's at its center and a red aura around its body.

Trivia
- In the early character design for Paci-Fire, instead having the gold cross on his forehead, it had the Zodiac. Additionally, Paci-Fire originally had a tattoo on his left shoulder and a large flame-like aura around his body.[5]
- Out of all of Bill's minions, his appearance most closely resembles traditional depictions of demons.
- His name is a pun on the words pacifier, referencing his infantile appearance, and fire.
- Paci-Fire was originally named Daemonicus ( or "Demonichus", like you prefer). (Gravity Falls: The Complete Series)
- Despite looking emotionless, he can actually show emotions with his primary face, like when he laughed at the captured townsfolk or like when he was scared when was sucked by the rift in "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls."
- He was planned to have a sightly bigger role in "Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality," but his scene was scrapped.

Instead in "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," Bill learns about it from Ford.
