Pan is a very lean Arrancar. While obvious contours of his muscles are visible, he isn't what one would call muscular - yet, he is very fit. He is pale-skinned, green-haired, and red-eyed, not that many would see his left eye under his bangs. He is rather tall, balancing off his thin physique, and has a diamond-shaped face, which is slightly amplified by his semi-wavy hair.

Wearing the normal colors of red and black, the lower-half of Pan's outfit is pretty standard. A white Hakama covers his legs, held up by a thick black sash, and on his feet are white-laced sandals with black coverings. While he prefers not to wear a shirt, he does wear a sleeveless white robe which extends down to just below his knees, its seams and linings made with a black fabric and it parts more at his waist. It has a black color, which is always kept straightened around his neck, where two bands are also wrapped.

Over his arms, possibly attached to his robe, are skin-tight black sleeves which extend out to his hands, but stop short in the middles of his fingers. His hollow mask, or at least what is left of it, is wrapped around his forehead, and the black '1' symbol is tattooed on his back.

• Pan finds standing above others to be enjoyable - he goes out of his way to put others down simply for the sake of doing it.
  
• Pan, being a control freak, absolutely adores when people follow orders precisely, exactly how he gives them, thus having his plans run smoothly. This, however, may be a rare occurrence.
  
• He absolutely adores giving punishments, and beating down on disobedient peons.
  
• Setting rules, laws, guidelines, and giving mission parameters is another activity that Pan enjoys quite a bit.
  
• Putting others through incredibly hard tasks, such as sending low-ranking soldiers to deal with highly-dangerous targets, is very much amusing to him.
  

• Disobedience. Hell hath no fury like Pan when he is disobeyed.
  
• Being intellectually matched. Pan is used to assuming himself to be the smartest guy in the room, save for when his higher-ups are present, and when he's bested it drives him crazy.
  
• Demotion strikes a chord with Pan harder than most others, for losing his position means that he is no longer at that rung of power.
  
• The other Espada. While he isn't absolutely out in the open about it, there is an obvious distaste for them, and an even more obvious urge to command them. It isn't uncommon for him to actually give them orders, which they may not follow most of the time.
  

Pan is a control freak. He needs to know about everything going on, everyone involved, and why it needs to be done. He needs to set the ground-rules, and dominate the lower castes. Because of this power-mongering, Pan is probably very disliked by the others, although this doesn't seem to phase him much. His followers don't feel a very strong allegiance to him, though, as he acts as if they are disposable (and in reality, they may just be).

Pan is very stubborn. He believes himself to be in the right all of the time, and actually getting him to think otherwise is very hard. Even when he is commanded to do something else by a higher-up, he will argue as much as he can that it should be the way that he wants it. Needless to say, the words of his subordinates mean nothing to him. Other Espada budding into his business upsets him greatly, and he may just bring up arms against them if they continue to challenge his mind.

Pan is very conceited, and often acts incredibly condescending. However, he is not completely straightforward (all of the time) with his insults and scoffing - he tends to make others feel like idiots, showing them exactly what he thinks of them so that they can 'see the error of their ways'. He does not think that people can become any more intelligent, useful, and/or important than they are when he needs them to be, which often forces his subordinates in the spotlight when he wants them to do something. Because he tends to stack the odds against them, they rarely come out completely successful, giving him more reasons to scold them.

Pan may be a control freak, but he is also a very good multi-tasker and strategist. He's not the easiest to work with, and he often puts himself in charge of everything, but he knows what he's doing. He takes pride in his abilities, and while they may not be in the best interest of others, he certainly can devise good plans and effective maneuvers, traps, and/or formations. He is capable of pushing his fun and games aside for the sake of a mission, battle, or challenge, but this doesn't mean he is any less focused, strict, or hated. Still, the thoughts of the others below him don't matter very much to him, and he is capable of completely ignoring his slander to focus on the task at hand.

Pan is an intellectual. While it is true that his condescending attitude drastically exaggerates his brains, he does have the smarts to back up his arguments, rules, and examples. This is the main weapon he uses to intimidate the lesser hollows, as he knows that they will be the easiest to fall victim to his mental grip. He enjoys a good intellectual challenge, too, and while he does put himself on a pedestal he does not consider himself to be the down-right smartest there is, and knows that he can better himself. However, if there was to be an obstacle that he couldn't overcome, you would see that shell of confidence crack and break under pressure.

Pan is a man of order. His strict guidelines and rules are often hated amongst those who must follow them, but it is evident that under his oppressive behavior, performance increases. Whether this is due to his actual rules, or the fear he drives into his subordinates, is unknown. Either way, he gets people to work. And those that don't work? It isn't uncommon for him to issue beatings, to amputate limbs, inflict wounds, etc. While these techniques do not work on the other Espada, most of the time, they work wonders for the lower-ranking hollows and Arrancar. It's rumored that he's killed over a hundred nameless hollows for simply not following orders, whispered through the lower ranks that he never really bothers to look into. But that's just a rumor, right?

Pan is a calm man. While he may be stubborn, frustrating, and often disappointed, he does not actually get angry. Instead, he seems to be able to channel an emotion of pure disdain, his snobby attitude enough for the others to realize that they messed up and that he is incredibly disappointed in them. And they all know what happens when Pan is disappointed.

Along with not showing anger, Pan rarely shows true happiness, although a faint smile surfaces on his face on certain occasions.

N/A

name: Tristeza (Trans: Sadness)

sealed form: A rather simple-looking Katana, which has a slightly smaller hilt that can just barely be gripped with both hands, although it is rarely use with both. Its blade is also slightly longer than normal, to the point where Pan must carry it on his back rather than his waist.

release command: Llorar, Tristeza (Trans: Weap, Sadness)

description: The skin-tight black 'clothing' on Pan's arms extends over his chest, while what is left of his mask grows into a 'crown' of sorts, which spiked protrusions sticking outward across his head. As well, his mask runs down the sides of his cheeks, extending up to give him two 'fangs'. His neck extends slightly, and new limbs sprout from his back - four spider-like leg extensions, each white with black-bladed edges that resemble very crude, dull scythes. He develops a hard carapace over his body, and enlarged lower-arms which also give him larger, sharpened claws, much like if he was wearing gauntlets. He would essentially be able to hold his palm over someone's face with their new size. His legs, while still vaguely humanoid, have very thin, single-clawed feet which he balances on the tips of.

type: A cross between a spider and a man, essentially.

description: Much like the spider-esque form of his resurreccion, Pan gains spider-like leg protrusions coming out of his back. However, they are larger, and there are six instead of four. As well, his mask envelopes half of his face, and his carapace is dramatically harder than before. His claws become serrated, and he gains an extra pair of legs, walking around now much like a crab. However, his legs are thicker and their single-claws become more like blades, capable of doing their own heavy damage. The most notable part of his appearance is that he is, now, much larger - about 12 feet tall - and his neck and chest are dramatically elongated.

type: Giant spider-humanoid, much more of an arachnid than a human.

Pan does not remember his human name, but his human life was very tragic. He had been associated with Hollows since he was a very young child, able to see the spirits. One particular hollow, feasting off of sadness and despair, followed him through most of his life from when he was a child. Systematically, it hunted down and killed his family members, disguising their deaths as car accidents or falls or victims of murder. Each death dragged Pan down into a lower point of sadness, and made the hollow stronger. There was no one Pan could turn to for help, and he had no way of knowing who would be next.

Eventually, word got out about the catastrophes that befell anyone who got too attached to him, and eventually he stopped trying to get closer to anyone. When he was in his twenties, his father died in what appeared to be a gas explosion - but he knew the truth, as the hollow cackled himself away at night. Deciding that enough was enough, Pan died trying to protect his mother from the hollow, however his spirit managed to escape the monster.

Not before his chain was cut, though.

With no chain to keep him anchored to this world, and no shinigami to pass him into the Spirit World, it only took him a matter of a few nights to begin his hollowification.

The first few years he spent as a hollow were generally very standard. He hunted the lost souls he could find and devoured them, fought back against Shinigami who tried to kill him, and evaded death at their blade. He was still very weak in the beginning, but he began to take up a different pastime upon retreating to Hueco Mundo. He began to grow in power by devouring other hollows, and became pretty feared amongst the intelligent ones who could tell that he was frightening. Eventually, due to his own natural instinct, he was able to continue to sate his growing hunger for hollows, evolving in into a more basic Adjuchas-class menos.

Pan spent many, many years as an Adjuchas. While he wasn't the strongest Menos, he rarely traversed to the Human world and thus never truly had the threat of being caught by a shinigami. Because of this, he had the capability to continue devouring hollows, continuing to grow in strength, and continuing to evolve.

At some point, they had done it - his body become more humanoid, and his power was substantial. It was now, now that possessed true thought and intelligence, he decided to travel back into the human world, curious to see just what he would find there. Before long, he detected an incredibly familiar spirit energy - he had stumbled upon the very hollow that had been following him since he was living, of which time he couldn't remember, but he did feel incredibly enraged by simply being in its presence. It knew who he was, though, and it was very amused by him approaching it.

Now, it too was an Adjuchas - and his power drew Pan in like a mosquito to a light. They fought for a long, long time, but in the end, Pan was victorious. He tore the mask off of his fallen opponent, and devoured him. The amount of power he gained in the process was enormous, and he became notably more powerful than most other Adjuchas hollows. He returned to Hueco Mundo, hearing of the powerful group that the ex-shinigami Aizen had put together. Deciding that he would join, but that he was too weak, he tore his own mask off, becoming an Arrancar with the goal of catching Aizen's eye.

Having been powerful enough to sustain himself, and to continue to live in the barbarian world, he did in fact grab his attention. He joined Aizen when approached, but did not take up a very noticeable rank. He was determined, though, to gain more power. In order to increase his strength, he began devouring hollows even as an Arrancar, behind Aizen's back. After his death, Pan truly increased in power, as much as he possibly could, to catch the eye of Zelena.

Now, he proudly stands as Espada numero uno, barking orders and enacting strict regulations to enforce his new power.
