- “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Panther... and all who see my rose meet death!”

Panther Caroso is a top class pilot and a member of Star Wolf. Exact details on his past are unclear, but his skilled piloting allowed him a place on the team, replacing both the untrustworthy Pigma Dengar and the whining amateur Andrew Oikonny. Panther became infatuated with the "lovely" Krystal at the Sargasso Space Zone and tried to flirt with her (Possibly failing), often to no avail, as she is already in a relationship with Fox McCloud. This changed during the Anglar Blitz since her relationship with Fox became unstable and was kicked off the team out of fear of her safety leading her to go against her better judgment and join up with Star Wolf. When Fox tries to plead for her forgiveness, Krystal turns to Panther and the rest of Star Wolf in certain endings, but it all depends upon whether she stays with the Star Wolf crew or not.
Biography[]
Specific details on his life prior to joining Star Wolf are unknown, although he had committed enough crimes and misdemeanors that the Cornerian authorities had been tracking him for decades, with his calling card being a rose, which he also had marked on the side of his Wolfen ship. The latest intelligence, made some time prior to the Aparoid Invasion, indicated that Panther has joined Star Wolf as the newest member, taking the place of both Pigma Dengar and Andrew Oikonny due to his skills as a top class pilot.

Trivia[]
- In "Command", Panther's surname is changed to Caruso, presumably due to translation error.
- Similarly, the official website of "Assault" spelled his name as both Caroso and Caruso.
- His surname in Japanese is closer to Caluroso, which is Spanish for 'warm, hot, energetic, enthusiastic.'
