Pan Ko Paat, alternatively romanized as Purt Co Pan, serves in Special Fire Force Company 4 as a former captain and ex-instructor at the Training Academy. Standing 179 cm (5'10½") tall and weighing 73 kg (161 lbs), this 30-year-old (born February 20th) has light slicked-back hair and blue eyes. He wears the standard orange fire force jumpsuit with a partially open collar and carries a whistle around his neck. Level-headed and prioritizing civilian safety above all, Pan forms tactical alliances with dangerous individuals when it reduces casualties, though he conceals such partnerships from superiors to maintain public stances. He deeply respects his former captain, Sōichirō Hague, but grows uneasy with Hague’s obsession with the Adolla phenomenon. Pan often relays critical intel through intricate whistle sequences few comprehend, causing confusion despite his respected leadership in multi-company operations. A Third Generation pyrokinetic, his signature "Buff Stacking" technique uses whistle blows to enhance heat resistance in allies, amplify other pyrokinetics’ powers, and boost his own strength/durability to superhuman levels. At high intensities, he employs the "Rending Multi-Stacked Drill," powerful enough to shred doppelgängers and damage his gear, though it strains his body. These abilities cement his reputation as the "Master Firefighter of Buffs" and make him indispensable to Company 4. During key events, Pan delivers Tokyo fire reports to Hague before becoming Chief of Staff for a Chinese Peninsula expedition. There, he allows Takeru Noto to reunite with his mother amid supply runs and heeds local warnings about anomalous gases and suspicious figures. Coordinating evacuations during the Amaterasu arc and Second Great Cataclysm, he witnesses doppelgänger emergences. Confronting a monstrous Hague doppelgänger that axes him mortally, Pan rejects this distortion and overpowers it by self-buffing dangerously—shattering its arms and annihilating it with his Rending Drill despite near-fatal injuries. After the Cataclysm, Shinra Kusakabe’s reality reset restores him to life. Trivia notes his name references Pan, the Greek god of wilderness and rustic music. Via whistle signals, he conveys preferences: favoring hamburgers but disliking hole-filled foods like chikuwa, enjoying classical clarinet music, and pursuing cycling, cooking, and healthcare product collection. His aspiration is an injury-free career.
