== Biography ==
Not much is known about the Patriarch prior to his ascension to leader of the Cult. Under his leadership, the cult has been shown to be entirely devoted to the Patriarch. Many members are recruited from initiate themselves via ritual scarification and nailing metal masks onto their faces, as a sign of total trust in the Patriarch. Some members are also chosen to become "martyrs," burning themselves alive in combat. The extreme length each cultist goes through guarantees total devotion to the cult and to the Patriarch. While he opposes the outside world and "the cabal," his ultimate goal is to "plant the seed to break the cycle."
Intel logs and dialogue from Jorvik Castle suggest that he steered the cult into opposing "the cabal," utilizing their xenophobic nature to fight back against the cabal's influence. He had also directed the cult into an isolationist-survivalist position, relying on farming, foraging, and water purification in order to withstand outside forces. However, this stance does not prevent them from raiding "nonbelievers," targeting homes, medical facilities, and munitions storage.
== Official Description ==
The Patriarch is the reclusive leader of a heavily armed cult that engages in mass kidnappings and terrorist attacks. Our intel suggests that the Patriarch collaborates with the Horizon Corporation, supplying them with unknown goods in exchange for weapons.
== Abilities ==
Before his fight, he is overheard fighting Task Force 27 team members; all of them have been massacred, with some even having their limbs detached. When fighting the Patriarch, he displays superhuman strength and speed, similarly to Subject 106. 
In combat, he comes equipped with a unique gold assault rifle and gold bolt launcher. He is fairly accurate in his shots, but the main danger comes from how he can dash around the arena, disrupting your aim and allowing him to get a few good shots in.
When his health is depleted at certain points, he retreats and summons a group of cultists to assist him in fighting. The second time this happens, he also summons another flesh golem to attack Subject 106.
