Panar was a male Human Beast Rider from Onderon, specifically residing in Iziz. During Meetra Surik's visit to Onderon in 3951 BBY, she encountered this swoop racer. He could often be located within the Beast Rider's Den, situated inside the Iziz Cantina, and he was seemingly a follower of General Vaklu. When Surik arrived in Iziz, she began an investigation into the death of Captain Sullio to exonerate Dhagon Ghent. Panar directed Surik to 1B-8D-GE3, a droid merchant located in the Merchant Quarter, describing him as "the perfect fence for droid parts". This tip led to the finding of the missing head of S-0D3-GE3, a droid who had seen the murder take place; after retrieving the droid's recollection of the incident, Ghent was proven innocent.
During her stay in Iziz, Meetra Surik participated in the local swoop races and managed to beat Panar's best time. This victory soured their relationship, leading Panar to challenge Surik to a "grudge match," which she also won.
