Pan

Pan was a god in Greek mythology. Like the other Greek gods, Pan was regarded as a myth by later cultures, but was in fact a powerful extradimensional entity. (PROSE: The Rise & Fall of Señor 105) Pan had a pipe. (PROSE: )
== Biography ==
When several of the gods decided to align themselves to the planets of the solar system, Pan took El Mundo, where he sired a race of Satyrmen. 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 for Aphrodite (on Venus), Gaia (on Earth), Ares (on Mars), Hestia (on Planet 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 establish Pangrave, a hidden settlement in a cave on the coast of Spain; Pan's body was kept on a gigantic catafalque in the meeting chamber (PROSE: The Rise & Fall of Señor 105)
=== Later references ===
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 constellation Capricorn. In the Greek adaptation, the god became a fawn, half-goat and half-man, a change seemingly influenced by the histories of Demnos, whose people supposedly resembled fawns.
