| ==Biography==
| | His ship was one of eight sent to [[Onyx]] to rescue the [[Spartan-II]] and [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]. He was supposed to recieve full information on the planet from the prowler ''[[Dusk]]'' before attacking the planet, but Patterson chose instead to order a foreward attack before the entire planet was scanned. His fleet destroyed the two [[Covenant]] destroyers they found- before the other twenty Covenant ships that had been on the other side of the planet showed up. At the cost of four of his eight ships, Patterson was able to escape. |

Thirty-two more Covenant ships emerged from [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] around Patterson's ships in mid-charge, destroying the human fleet and killing the admiral in the process.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 333''</ref> | | He set up an ambush for the Covenant ships behind the planet's moon using [[HORNET Mines]] which suceeded in destroying almost all of the ships.
