Patrick Wynter

Patrick Wynter is the tritagonist of Rainimator's Fractures. 
As the current Grandmaster of the Frostbourne, Patrick leads his soldiers to protect humanity at all cost. As a teenager, Patrick was a Gravehold soldier that witnessed the beginning of the Undead War. After the destruction of the Witchbane, he fled to the northwest snow biomes and joined the Frostbourne. During the war, Patrick ascends to the leadership role after former Grandmaster Theo was killed in battle. Following the assassination of Glutton, Patrick launches a raid to lure out and end Herobrine using the Ender Watchers. With the Undead Lord dead, humanity goes into temporary peace where they slowly rebuild. 
However, this peace quickly didn't last long as the Nether Empire would make attempts to conquer the Overworld. With no choice, Patrick leads his kingdom once more to war and uses the best of his efforts to resist conquest. After a costly defeat that actually ended up temporarily killing Naeus, Patrick led a successful counteroffensive to regain lost territory. Behind the scenes, he allied with the Netherbane and continues to strategize with them in hopes to defeating the empire to keep humanity safe. With Naeus now being alive, Patrick now plans ways to fight off the Empire and its powerful leader.

== History ==
In his youth, Patrick was a soldier in the swamp town of Gravehold. Patrick was loyal to the Witchbane and unfailingly obedient, but his naïveté was shattered after a life-changing encounter with Herobrine which left him with his scar. He fled to the snow biomes, where he became a knight.
Patrick trained under Ser Theo and succeeded him as Grandmaster, the leader of the Frostbourne, when he died. He befriended the bandit Daryllhttps://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/795858792143257631/884110738338242580 in an attempt to unify the civilians and the bandits. He has become reputed as a 'benevolent' ruler,Rainimator Lorebook, chap. 3 and in a decisive battle, he succeeded in defeating Herobrine. 
Patrick has since rallied the Frostbourne and the Endstone Crusaders against the Nether Horde after King Naeus attempted to invade the Overworld. He is currently overseeing his armies in the Frostbourne Castle.
== Personality ==
Ser Patrick is tactical and strategic, caring for the good of his overall people. He has stated that the reason he fights is for the survival and the future of his people, wanting the best for his kind; although he is usually very strict and demanding, he cares for many - especially Lady Azura. He is respected by many, and sometimes refered to as "Lord" even by those of other towns. 
Ser Patrick is known to have a temper, as seen in Wings of Salvation, Wither Heart, Cold as Ice: The Remake and Be Afraid. However, he sees the good in many people, having reformed and united the Bandits with the refugees. His ultimate goal, as is the Frostbourne's, is the survival of humanity. He discourages plans with less survivability, unless it is their only choice.
Ser Patrick is quite self-aware, even to the degree of recognizing of the might of his supernatural opponents, being able to recognize that he needs to train to defend his home. His love for the human race is so vast, that he is even willing to lay down his life for his home, as seen when he fought Herobrine, knowing he wouldn't win, to buy time for the End Matriarch, figuring that the freedom of his home was worth losing his life over. He was at peace when he thought he was going to die, once he was assured that Herobrine would soon be slain.
Of losses and defeat, he does learns his mistakes and puts them to good use in the future, embracing them as lessons, according to the Lorebook.
== Skills ==
Ser Patrick is a fierce fighter, capable of taking out enemies with ease. His combat abilities and armor allow him to go head-to-head with the likes of Herobrine and Hogsworth, besting the latter, and putting up a good fight against the former. He can utilize short-range teleportation thanks to his armor, and is an effective wielder of twin naginata, as well as effective at taking people by surprise.
According to his younger years it looks like he was a good swordsman seeing he was using a Iron Sword
His most valuable skill, however, is actually his stalwart leadership skills, strategic prowess, and "fierce decision making" however it is known that most of his plans fail or get salvaged.
