Biography[[edit] |[edit source]]

When several of the gods decided to align themselves to the planets of thesolar system, Pan tookEl Mundo, where he sired a race ofSatyrmen. The Satyrmen developed a key that could open a gateway to the gods' realm; Pan shared this technology with the other gods, creating similar keys forAphrodite (onVenus),Gaia (onEarth),Ares (onMars),Hestia (onPlanet 5), and the others.

When El Mundo was ejected from the solar system, the Satyrmen modified their bodies with technology to survive. When a technological plague began to assimilate the planet's inhabitants,Señor 106 helped Pan and some uninfected refugees to Earth; Pan died, or fell into a deep sleep. Señor 106 helped the surviving Satyrmen establishPangrave, a hidden settlement in a cave on the coast ofSpain; Pan's body was kept on a gigantic catafalque in the meeting chamber (PROSE:The Rise & Fall of Señor 105)

Later references[[edit] |[edit source]]

According to one writer, the myth of Pan evolved from stories of a Babylonian deity,Ea, which was half-goat and half-fish; Ea also inspired the constellationCapricorn. In the Greek adaptation, the god became afawn, half-goat and half-man, a change seemingly influenced by the histories ofDemnos, whose people supposedly resembled fawns. (PROSE:Introduction and links)

Sin Yen pictured herself dancing with Pan in a secret glade deep in the darkest wood. (PROSE:Rags)

...she danced with the cloven-hoofed one. And now He took her in his arms and smiled a wicked smile and the horns curved back into the tangled bramble-hair and the eyes, oh my God, the eyes... such fierce beauty she had never beheld.^{[Rags (novel) [src]]}
