Oh, man. I don't like the idea of Pan with a gun.

Oh that's supposed to be a case for his pan flute but I can see why you thought it was a gun.

Well, I was going to say that the DC version of him was Murdered by Granny Goodness, so maybe this one is wiser....

He is Pan and according to Roysovitch and Steelpoodle the son of Hermes and a wood nymph in mythology, and the God of Wilderness, Wild Animals, Shepherds, Trackers, and Explorers

I'm seeing the Guillermo del Toro movie in my mind when I read the name, and maybe a connection to Aphrodite

Pan is the son of Hermes and a wood nymph in mythology. He is the god of the wilderness, shepherds, trackers, explorers, and wild animals. That said, Roy may change his role a bit for NeOlympus.

So no connection to Aphrodite then, where did I get that idea from?

Well, satyrs do have rather ravenous sex-drives.

There is a rather famous statue of Pan and Aphrodite. Pan is a rather lascivious being, often playing songs in Aphrodite's name, and prays to her quite a bit for help in catching Echo, a nymph he had become infatuated with.

Pan is also the source of the modern word panic.

Hermes and Aphrodite did have a child called Hermaphroditus. Thus the term hermaphrodite.

Also known as "Aphroditus" (which is the name I use in NeOlympus), Hermaphroditus was a handsome young god that a nymph, Salmacis, has fallen in love with. When she found the boy bathing she jumped in and began to grab and kiss him. She wished that they could never part and so the wish was granted and the two became one being, a feminine figure with male genitals.
In NeOlympus, Aphroditus is a trickster like his father and was born with the innate powers of shapechanging from his grandfather Zeus, but only a small degree of them. Aphroditus is able to shift between male and female forms whenever he or she bathes. His lover and wife, the nymph Salmacis, constantly follows him wherever he goes which is the source of the myth. Aphroditus is the god of baths and bathhouses, and also as a symbol of the unity between man and woman, whether through marriage or sex.

Not much. He is an adopted son of Hermes, but pretty much all that stuff you said rings true. Like Hermes, he actually has a lot of little purviews to oversee.
In NeOlympus, Hermes came upon Pan when both the god and the satyr were not yet fully grown. Hermes was the equivalent of a teenager and Pan was still a faunling. Pan's father had been slain by his Titan master and thus Pan was left on his own. Hermes found the young satyr suckling on one of Hermes' sheep one day while he was tending to the flock. Hermes took the little guy in and raised him. Later, during the war against the Titans, Pan acted as Hermes' guide, showing the godling all the mountain and forest paths that Pan knew instinctively as a satyr. For Pan's service and his adopted familial connection to Hermes, Pan was allowed to partake in some of the leftover Titanic essences and was further awarded by being named the Speaker for the Satyrs.
Nowadays, Pan tends to hang out with Dionysus but will often join Hermes on his travels. Hermes and him have more of a brotherly dynamic to them as they've become so old that the difference in their age is quite negligible.
