The Great Beast Pan is a deity that is poorly known among the more civilized peoples of the Three Empires, but some few call on his name. Among the barbarous apes and monkeys of N'gah, he is the patron deity and the King of N'gah resembles him in most respects. The apes of N'gah are more anthropomorphic than gorillas or chimpanzees, being better at bidepalism and capable of using tools and their hands more like a person. The same is true for the larger monkeys that make up the intelligent (yet savage) populace of N'gah, which resemble baboons that are more anthropomorphic. The King of N'gah is, however, an icon if Pan himself, a savage god that resembles a gigantic human-like mandrill covered in spikes, with steel-clawed hands. The King occasionally uses weapons, but given his steel-like claws, he usually doesn't need to.
It is unclear why this race of Pan-worshipping intelligent apes and monkeys exist, or why their range is so constrained. Pan's motives are inscrutable. However, sorcerers and others occasionally worship Pan, especially if they desire vengeance. The dominant theme of Pan is anger, rage and ferocity, and such is the society of the apes as well.
The current King of N'gah is Kivili. He would best be represented in d20 as an awakened dire ape with some class levels. In m20, he'd be similar (although obviously less complex in terms of what rules to use.)
