I feel bad for Pan. To me, he is the male counterpart of Milah. The Black Fairy must have gotten consumed with power like The Dark One and abandoned her once-loving husband and son. After Pan could no longer stand being "abandoned"/neglected in the now loveless marriage, he took upon himself to raise the young Rumple with love. After years of struggling and misfortunes, Pan eventually end up as the desperate and cynical Malcolm. I see Pan as the victim of The Black Fairy.
