History[]
Pan is one of the henchwomen working alongside May Day (the other is Jenny Flex). For investigation purposes, British agents James Bond and Godfrey Tibbett are invited to Max Zorin's stable under false identities and, when they arrive in the compound, are greeted by Pan, who does not manage to pronounce the false name of Bond that she reads on a list. She appears many times throughout the film, usually assisting Zorin is his crimes, mostly in his plan to destroy Silicon Valley. Her most recent appearance is when she helped Zorin frame Bond for the murder of chief geologist W. G. Howe by helping him set Howe's office on fire, which forced Bond and Stacey Sutton to run from the authorities on a stolen fire truck.
Near the end of the film, Pan is walking through the mines that Zorin is working in as Jenny hands Scarpine several explosives for their plot. When Zorin realizes Bond is there, he sends May Day, Jenny and Pan Ho after him and Stacey. They follow them through the mines with guns and May Day splits up with the other two, telling them to go the other way. However Zorin betrays both the women and his miners by blowing up the mines with the explosives, causing the mines to flood. Noticing the water flowing and realizing that they have been betrayed, Jenny and Pan attempt to escape along with the rest of the miners, but they (along with Bob Conley) all end up being drowned to their deaths.
This betrayal caused May Day to turn to Bond for help, even mourning for the loss of Jenny and Pan. May Day later avenges both Jenny and Pan by helping Bond to foil Zorin's scheme at the cost of her life.
