[[File:Panther's Introduction Assault.png|left|thumb|Panther's first appearance in the Star Fox series.]]Panther's first encounter with Star Fox took place at the [[Sargasso Space Hideout]]. There, Panther introduced himself to the team before attacking Fox. After his defeat, Panther began flirting with Krystal. This attracted the attention of Falco and sparked a rivalry between the two. Panther then told Krystal that Pigma was likely on Fichina <ref>{{quote

}}</ref>. The remains of Panther's [[Wolfen]] were found by the Star Fox team in the Asteroid Belt, though Krystal's power told her that Star Wolf was still alive somewhere.

Panther and the rest of the Star Wolf team came to the aid of Star Fox during the [[Aparoid]] invasion of [[Corneria]]. He joked around during the invasion noting that his favorite restaurant had been destroyed and that Fox was like Wolf's surrogate gun. Panther also comforted Krystal when they were attacked by the infected [[General Pepper]].[[File:Panther Assault Ending.png|right|thumb|Panther during the finale of ''Star Fox: Assault''.]] Later, Panther followed the Star Fox team and helped them destroy the Aparoid missiles attacking the [[Beltino Orbital Gate]]. Star Wolf later came to assist Star Fox while in the tunnel to the [[Aparoid Queen]]. Panther flirted with Krystal and later distracted the Aparoids defending the queen so that Star Fox could get through.

[[File:StarWolf Command Intro.png|left|thumb|A wanted poster depicting the Star Wolf team.]]Panther and the Star Wolf team continued to work as a criminal organization and the Cornerian government was forced to put a bounty on their heads. The team soon decided that they were tired of the criminal label and fought the [[Anglar]] empire to try to get cure themselves of their criminal stereotype. Panther also got a lucky break when Fox, worried for Krystal, forced her off the Star Fox team. She joined up with Star Wolf and got together with Panther shortly after. Panther had revamped his Wolfen and named it the [[Black Rose]]. It's Zapper was incredibly powerful and could destroy most enemies in a single blast<ref>http://f.starfox-online.net/archives/starfox.com/command/</ref>.

When Fox went to [[Katina]] to apologize to Krystal, Panther appeared so that he could taunt Fox over his new girlfriend. Fox, Krystal, Panther, and Leon fought the Anglar in their sector. Panther told his "darling space rose" to be careful to which Krystal seemed annoyed. When Fox broke down and completely apologized to Krystal, Panther taunted him and told Krystal to come with him.<ref>{{quote

[[File:StarWolfReturns.jpg|right|thumb|Panther and the team become heroes.]]Panther flew to Venom with Krystal and Leon after leaving Katina. There he met up with Wolf and used a mechanism to dilute the Venom Sea, allowing them to fight the Anglar without worry for their ships. He helped defeat the Anglar Emperor and basked in the comfort of being able to walk through cities with their heads held high.

=== Super Smash Bros. ===

While Panther has never appeared as a playable fighter in the ''[[Super Smash Bros (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games, he appears on the [[Lylat Cruise]] stage in several scenes involving the Star Fox characters. Fox, Falco, and Wolf can each activate their communications devices to open a conversation between several characters, one of which is Panther. During these scenes, Panther is often seen trying to woo Krystal, or insulting Falco. Panther also has a trophy based on his appearance in ''Star Fox: Assault'' and two stickers based on concept art from ''Star Fox: Assault'' and ''Star Fox Command''.

| brawl_description = [[File:PantherTrophyBrawl.jpg|left|150px]]The newest member of the Star Wolf team, rivals of Team Star Fox. A show-off who often embarrasses his teammates, he considers himself quite the ladies' cat and can hardly contain himself from making passes at attractive females, including Krystal, who he's clearly smitten with. Panther's trademark is a red rose. All things said, he's still a highly skilled pilot.
