Pan was the Greek god of the Wild, satyrs, and folk music. His Roman counterpart is Faunus (when it came to forests) and Inuus (when it came to cattle).

History

Early Life

Pan was born to the Olympian god @Hermes and the nymph Driope. He became the God of the Wild, forming close relationships with nature spirits and satyrs, who he treated as his children.

Pan once had a musical contest with @Apollo. King @Midas, one of Pan's followers, judged that Pan was the winner, despite Apollo being the god of music. In anger, Apollo gave Midas the ears of a donkey.

First Battle with Typhon

Pan helped @Zeus in the fight against @Typhon. While the recovered Zeus was imprisoned by Typhon and held in a cave guarded by the dragon Delphine, Pan started shouting out loud and caused panic in the dragon, who ran away. This action gave Zeus the chance to escape and to go after Typhon.

Trials of Psyche

One day, while napping after a three-day party, Pan found Psyche crying in the nearby river after she was abandoned by @Cupid. Unaware of what happened, he assumed she has love problems and suggested that she should pray to Eros to help her. Pan left after Psyche started crying again, but she decided that maybe she should do that so he could forgive her.

Spreading Rumors

Two-thousand years before the series, Pan told Lysas to spread the word of his death in Ephesos. The announcement was accepted by most, except for the satyrs and nature spirits. Most satyrs dream of finding Pan and apply for a searcher's license through the Council of Cloven Elders so they can go looking for Pan. No satyrs ever return from the quest because of the @Golden Fleece which attracts them instead by giving out a similar natural smell and feel. Grover Underwood had lost his father, grandfather, and uncle, to the quest.

Pan's Fading

During the quest to the @Labyrinth, @Grover Underwood and @Tyson split away from the group because Grover senses Pan. Later @Percy Jackson, @Annabeth Chase, @Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and @Nico di Angelo find them at a riverbank in the labyrinth. The group follows the river to a cave in the @Pan's Cave in New Mexico, where they find Pan lying on a bed. He fades in and out as he dies. He is surrounded by extinct animals that fade into dust as he dies. Pan tells Grover that he should have died two thousand years ago, but the satyrs prevented his passing. He says that it's his time to go and for Grover to carry on his wisdom to the world. He individually addresses Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and Rachel, but does not address Nico. As Pan fades, some of his energy goes into everyone in the room with a little more going to Grover.

The group gets back to camp and are forced to battle the @Titan Army. During the battle Grover releases a fierce scream which causes Kronos' army to flee in terror. This was an ability of Pan. When Grover goes before the council the satyrs do not believe him, but @Dionysus and @Chiron do. The satyrs vote to exile Grover, but Chiron and Dionysus (whose vote counts for two since he is a god and is upset so they do not challenge it) vote to keep him. Since the council reaches an indecision, it is disbanded, allowing Grover to remain.
