Pan

Pan is one of the 7 player characters in the party. They are an eladrin raised in the Feywild but who spends most of their time in the Material Plane. They are also a koláme- a subrace of involuntary shapechangers who are said to be chosen for such a role by The Daghda. They have 8 different forms, changing on each of the eight major holidays. Starting with the first the party saw, they are heron aarakocra, water genasi, orc, longtooth shifter, wood elf, gnome, half-halfling, and firbolg. They change sex as well as race, and typically use the pronouns expected for their current form, though they are nonbinary.

## Life before meeting the party

Pan was born and raised in the Feywild. As is not uncommon in the Feywild, they do not know their biological family, but mutually chose their family- three parents named Waku, Yulo, and Hitsi. They lived the first part of their life as an ordinary gnome eladrin. Pan does not remember this, but it was revealed to him at the Echo that, as a child, the Daghda saved them from death at the hands of a hag. This was only the first of the Daghda's blessings to Pan, as later in life they manifested as a koláme. In adulthood, they traveled around many parts of the Concordat, meeting many different people and having many different experiences, generally using a different name and persona for each of their forms. Pan had many odd jobs, but notably worked in many kitchens and became an accomplished cook. While they know each of the main cities of the Coastal Concordat well (with the exception of Nightreach), their favorite is Argentmere, and they generally spend at least part of every year in that area. Notably, she has made a tradition the past several years to visit Cypress Hill shortly before Samhain while in wood elf form under the name of Ress. It is in this form that she first met the Riverblossom family, including both Azalea Riverblossom and Peony Riverreed.

A few years before meeting the party, Pan returned home one Samhain to discover that his family had disappeared. No one in their area of Spring knew where they had gone, but Pan did learn that they were three of many disappearances in the area. The Daghda was made aware of Pan's predicament. As a koláme Pan is one of the Daghda's chosen children, so the Daghda made a deal with Pan. The Daghda made Pan his warlock, giving them powers that would be of assistance in the quest of finding their parents, and promised to give them whatever information he knew to be helpful. In return, Pan is expected to intermittently carry out the will of the Daghda, especially on the Material Plane where it is more difficult for him to act.

## Cord and the Wraith

One day during her travels in aarakocra form, she came across a white lion tabaxi bounty hunter named Cord, as well as his target, a tiefling who was trying to escape from his boss, a mysterious and powerful pirate called The Wraith. Pan agreed to travel with Cord as he brought this target back to Courlemar under charge of madness. However, The Wraith found them first. She appeared through a portal, took back her charge, and left. Cord and Pan were charged by a naval captain in the nearby Nightreach Bay to go to Courlemar to bring this news to the Lord Admiral. They planned to go by way of the Golden Swan, which is how they met the rest of the party.

## With the Party

Pan met the rest of the party on the Golden Swan and travelled with them to the Mistmaw, Senedosa Island, and Il Umbral. During this time, the Daghda instructed Pan to find his Key, who the party now knows to be Evangeline. In the party's "home base" of Courlemar, shortly before departing for the Feywild, Cora Alvernon bonded with Pan and decided to commune with Sehanine Moonbow to grant Pan a vision of their family. They now understand that vision to mean that they are currently in the clutches of Illithid on the other side of the Great Brine.

The party travelled to Pan's own country of Spring in the Feywild, and they were horrified to discover that much of the life there was either in hiding or had been carried off by servants of the Mockery, apparently to the Illithid in Sanctuary- also the current location of Pan's parents and the Daghda's Key. Pan acted as the party's envoy to the various powerful Fey in the Feywild and helped navigate the complex politics.

Pan is to bear witness at the upcoming Council of Four- the meeting of all four Fey courts to decide what action to take on the encroachment of the Dark Six, especially after the tragic fall of the Daghda's Key Evangeline.
