'''Patrin of Glengard''' is the youngest son of King [[Fanden of Glengard]]. He was gelded at the order of [[Vralius]] during the acquisition of [[Wuerlan]] by the [[Clavic Empire]] and sent to be hidden away at [[Wornspire]] as the personal steward of [[Talmage]]. He orchestrated the massacre of the pregnant test subjects of [[Project Bullet]], and was thought to be killed during the raid.

{{spoiler}}In the note he leaves for the Emperor, he ends with the words:

"''I come as freedom and as love and as empathy - NOT AS HATE''" This is a reference to the anonymous philospher [[Athenatos]], as the letters in "NOT AS HATE" are an anagram for Athenatos. He is the secret writer of [[Revelation of Influism]] under the pseudonym [[Aethenatos]], and used his knowledge of the personalty and ideology of [[Rinden Dane]], founder of the [[Legion of Liberty]], to spread [[Influism]] while in captivity at [[Wornspire]].

He is also the creator of the [[Lightsprawl Order]], the one they call [[The Patriarch]], and technically, the [[Lightsire]], although, all of the follows believe the Lightsire to be an actual deity. He used [[Sigilus the Overseer]] to recruit members and do his bidding through a series of notes laced with a hallucinogenic drug; the letters prompted visuals which Sigilus took to be spiritual epiphanies. He knew Sigilus would be susceptible to these from the few meetings he had with him when he was boy; Patrin and his sister would visit the estate of [[House Erbane]] every summer where Sigilus was the [[haers]] trainer.

He needed the cult to facilitate his escape from Wornspire; he uses the Legion of Liberty as a tool to fight back against oppressors and dictators like the Emperor.
