Biography: Panam Palmer was part of the Aldecaldos nomad tribe. Her best friend was captured by the Raffen Shiv, a hostile Nomad group, when they were a child, only to be saved by fellow-Aldecaldo Cassidy Righter - an incident that deeply affected Panam into her adulthood, to the point of never telling anyone what happened in order to forget about it. Cassidy would remain a close friend of Panam and become somewhat protective of her. Panam also befriended several other clan members, including Mitch Anderson and Driss "Scorpion" Meriana. Panam idolized Saul Bright, a fellow Aldecaldo who used to pull off impressive as well as funny stunts in his earlier years.

At some time, Panam and Mitch were hauling cargo from San Francisco to Kansas for the owner of a syn-meat farm. The stench at the farm got Panam so sick that she puked on the owner's boots to which he simply replied "No need to bow, I'll just take a handshake." Another "long story with many twists and turns" involved the corpse of the Deputy Finance Director of Kaukaz riding in Panam's trunk.

At some point, Panam's clan set up camp in the Badlands outside Night City. She didn't see eye to eye with the clan's leader, Saul Bright, who was trying to strike a deal with Biotechnica in his attempt to keep the clan alive with consistent work. Panam disapproved, believing the clan should remain independent from corporations. Together with Scorpion, Panam kept joking about getting Mitch on board and heading off to Oregon on their own. Panam's conflict with Saul came to a head, however, when, due to her rebellious attitude, she eventually left the clan and moved to Night City, even though her friend Mitch tried to talk her out of it at first. Working as a mercenary under the fixer Rogue, Panam was often paired with nomad Nash on a few gigs, though she was unaware he was Raffen Shiv. Despite moving away, Panam maintained communication with members of the Aldecados, including her close friends Mitch Anderson and Scorpion.

2077 During an assignment to deliver "merchandise", Panam was betrayed by Nash, who stole both their cargo and her Thorton Mackinaw "Warhorse". Having messed up, she angrily confronted Rogue at the Afterlife, leaving without compensation or help to recover the stolen items. Some time later, Panam was contacted by local merc Guest, who had been directed to her by Rogue to help capture Anders Hellman. After Guest helps Panam recover her merchandise by ambushing the Raffen Shiv in Rocky Ridge, and optionally also to get back her car by attacking and killing Nash in his hideout, she agreed to help them capture Hellman from Kang Tao forces, whose AV was predicted to pass across the Badlands.

Planning to ground the airborne convoy, Panam and Guest stormed the Satwave Power Plant on Jackson Plains and modified the systems into an EMP. When it failed to stop them, she used a rocket launcher to ground the vehicle. However, Panam's friends Mitch and Scorpion underestimated the surviving Kang Tao guards at the crashed convoy and rushed in alone, which got Scorpion killed and MItch taken hostage by a surviving guard. Scorpion's death left Panam devastated.

Some time later, Saul Bright disappeared with a small party of Aldecados. Learning of the attack, Panam returned to the Aldecados to help investigate. Eventually, they discovered the group had been ambushed by Wraiths, a Raffen Shiv gang, and Saul had been captured. As the interim-leader of the clan, Carol Emeka, was hesitant to take action and was worried about the Aldecaldos camp's vulnerability, Panam took it upon herself to act and contacted Guest to ask for assistance. As Guest agrees to help, Panam remarks "Do you know how good it is to hear that?" and asks to meet at the Aldecaldos camp, where the two along with Mitch go over some drone intel on the Wraith camp Saul is being kept at. As the plan is covert infiltration, only Guest and Panam set out, with the latter remaining at distance to provide the former with sniper cover fire if needed.

After Guest rescued Saul, Panam drove the group away, escaping from pursuing Wraiths and using a sand storm to cover their tracks. Seeking shelter for the night in an abandoned farmhouse. A grateful Saul invites Panam to rejoin the Aldecaldos, but insists she will follow orders in the future. She responds by strongly objecting to Saul's planned cooperation with Biotechnica. As Saul turns in early, Panam sarcastically asks whether he needs "help"... to which Saul just responds "Screw off." As fellow Aldecaldos Cassidy Righter picks Saul up the next morning, Guest convinces Panam to rejoin the clan. Before Panam leaves she gives Guest her rifle Overwatch in return for their help. Panam then kissing them goodbye.

Despite his rescue, Panam and Saul remained at odds with each other. Panam would later identify a lightly guarded Militech convoy that is slated to transport a Basilisk tank through the Badlands, which her and Mitch want to steal. Deeming it to be too dangerous, Saul forbade Panam to pursue the matter. Behind Saul's back, she is determined to proceed anyway and gathers some like-minded fellow Aldecaldos including Mitch as well as Carol Emeka, and also contacts Guest to join her at the Nomad camp.

The next day, an enthusiastic Panam calls Guest, asking to take the newly assembled Basilisk for a spin together. After returning to the camp, Cassidy, Mitch, and Panam tell Guest that they left the implicating loot from the raid on Militech near a Raffen Shiv camp to shift the blame. Panam and Guest then hop into the tank after Mitch makes some last minute adjustments. Panam instructs Guest to jack in to practice movement and target shooting with the tank's neural impulse interface outside of the camp. After that, Panam shows Guest the dual interface by joining them in the neural connection with the Basilisk, thereby linking their nervous systems and sharing their sensory awareness. Panam then uses the interface to make advances to Guest, which Guest accepts and thereby initiating thier romance. But Panam and Guest's experience is cut short by a Raffen Shiv ambush. After fighting them off with the tank, they head back to the camp, which is also under attack.

After the Raffen Shiv have been fought off, Saul wants to talk to Panam, who then expects to be kicked out of the clan for her foolhardiness. Instead, however, Saul makes Panam the new co-leader of the clan by his side, admitting he was wrong earlier, mistaking her willingness to risk everything for the family with recklessness. Saul and surprised Panam then decide to move the camp to a new location for safety reasons. To cool down, Panam shares a drink with Guest at the camp's bar and reiterates that they can always count on the Aldecaldos for help. She also asks Guest to join the clan, who has to decline in order to "finish some things first". After passing out from a Relic malfunction, Guest then wakes up in Panam's tent at the new camp location and has the choice to finally tell her about the worsening problem with the Relic and that Johnny Silverhand's engram is in their head. Panam will react concerned but understanding and then walks Guest to their ride. On the way, Saul, Mitch, and Cassidy will express their relief of seeing Guest back up on their feet. Before bidding goodbye, Panam repeats her and the entire family's willingness to help Guest at any cost. As their earlier joint kidnapping of Anders Hellman turned out to be a dead end, however, Guest does not know how the Nomads could help yet and is left with simply thanking Panam for being there for them. Then giving Panam a goodbye kiss. After this, Panam can be found next to Saul in the Nomad camp's command truck. Despite their efforts to cover their tracks, Panam and Saul remained concerned by Militech retaliating against the clan, causing them to consider moving south across the border earlier than planned. Guest can also ask Panam how things are going with Rogue (to which she replies that they mostly stay out of each other's hair) or if she had any more trouble with the Kang Tao (which she declines, adding that they still believe it was the Raffen Shiv who attacked Hellman's transport).
