Patty the Leprechaun

== First Appearances ==
Patrick, or Patty is a rough cut Leprechaun, or so he claims. However instead of being 4 inches tall and green skinned, he's 6.4ft and presents himself as a large Irish man. 
While his claim is hard to believe based on his exterior, his behavior is not quite human. For instance, he shows no sign of needing sleep. He currently fills the position of security for the school during the night, and during the day is teacher aide to assist Professors who can't attend their classes.
He also hasn't been known to eat anything. However it is obvious that he drinks due to being found passed out in the strangest places with bottle in hand. Although its assumed that he's drinking alcohol, it's not clear what he's drinking only that it sustains him passed the need of food.
One characteristic that supports his claim is that whenever someone does him a kindness Patty leaves them a plain gold coin and walks off. 
== Professional Life ==
Patty's primary role is security for the school and adding additional safety. His secondary role is teacher-aide, surprisingly Patty is quite knowledgeable in most subjects and drops the odd jewel of wisdom when opportunities arise. However due to the schools transient teaching staff he feel's like he's teaching more classes than securing the grounds. 
Patty has no apparent love for Hogwarts, but was brought into the staff as a 'fixer' of the schools challenges due to his debt to the spirits of the land the school was built on. Rather than be an educator he felt the school needed more security than another teacher.
== Personal Life ==
Patty is somewhat of a mystery at Hogwarts. Where most of his time outside of his duties looks like drunken bar crawls and singing in strange venues, not much is truly known about him. 
 His personal effects give some clues as to his background. Most of his attire suggests he's stepped out of the Irish working class. However he carries some strange objects which indicates he's well traveled. His bracelet resembles prayer beads but when looking closer were identified as nuts, Kukui nuts, which are normally found in Hawai'i. To support this theory he's been known to sing whilst being accompanied by his musical instrument of choice, a ukulele. He carries other items which could give clues as to his background but more information is needed on them.
 To date, Patty is a party enthusiast. Where he tries to separate his working life and personal life, he finds himself slowly slipping his satirical perspective into work and blurring the lines between work and fun. Which normally looks like profuse drinking, inappropriate outbursts of songs no one has heard before, or crude live commentaries of those at Hogwarts.
 An interesting trend that has been known is that Patty gets along with anyone in a party. Crowd size doesn't matter as long as there is drink, music and stories.
