## Biography

### Childhood

As a child, White gave Patton the magical gift of a charming voice, which means that humans are magically compelled to obey any direct imperative he gives, even unintentional ones. This led to him feeling isolated from other children, as he and they were afraid he might compel them to do something against their wishes. He quickly began to view his magic as a curse.

By the age of eleven, Patton had begun visiting Fletcher Street Chapel Graveyard to talk to the ghosts there, as every-one else was afraid of him. During one of these visits, he saved Logan Sanders from bullies, and they subsequently became friends. A few months later, Roman Gage joined the friend group after he began attending school in Patton's grade.

### Main Storyline

After he, Logan and Roman discovered that Virgil had woken from his curse, Patton became frustrated with the other two's strange behaviour and yelled at them for keeping secrets. He later felt guilty about this, as he had secretly revived a dying rabbit using the power of his voice, and now had to regularly heal it in order to prevent it from decaying and suffering, as the rabbit now could not die.

When the school was attacked by the Serpent King's monster, Patton wanted to return to the building to search for Roman and Thomas. In order to stop him, Logan put him to sleep magically, which left Patton feeling hurt. When he visited the graveyard to calm himself, he was confronted by Virgil, asking for his help. He took Virgil to the Waller farm and hid him in the barn, helping him catch up on the events he had missed while asleep. Later, when Virgil suggested he could teach Patton to control his magical voice, Patton impulsively kissed him.

The two reunited with Logan and Roman and returned to the Gage house. After many secrets were revealed, Logan felt overwhelmed and started blaming himself, saying that everyone would be better without him, but Patton told him that "my life would be objectively worse without you" and kissed him.

When the monster attacked a town meeting, Patton was able to use his voice to calm her and briefly help her revert to a more human form. She mentioned something about her bones, which led the boys to visit her grave in Fletcher Street Chapel Graveyard. There, the others encountered the dead rabbit and reacted with horror. Patton told the rabbit to "go home," unintentionally releasing it from its undead state and allowing its spirit to move on.

The boys led an attack against The Serpent King which was ultimately successful when Roman and Virgil were able to break his control over Greta. Patton helped Greta's ghost to move on after she said her goodbyes to Virgil, and then left with Virgil for the fae court so he could learn from White how to control his voice.
