'''Carl "Buster" Patterson''' was a [[human]] and a member of the [[UNSC Navy]].

By late [[2552]], [[Admiral]] Patterson was commander of the {{UNSCShip|Stalingrad}} and [[Battlegroup Stalingrad|Battlegroup ''Stalingrad'']].<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''</ref> Patterson was a very straightforward, but cunning admiral whose direct frontal-assault style would cost him his life in the middle of the [[Battle of Onyx]].

==Battle of Onyx==
At [[Onyx]], Patterson ordered his battlegroup to attack before receiving a full scan of the planet from the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}}. Two [[Covenant Destroyer]]s were destroyed before twenty additional enemy warships revealed themselves from the other side of the planet. At the cost of four of his ships, Patterson was able to escape.

He set up an ambush for the Covenant ships behind the planet's moon when [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] [[Richard Lash]] set up a field of [[HORNET Mine]]s in space, which succeeded in destroying all but two of the ships. Patterson again ordered a forward charge to wipe out the remaining ones. Thirty-two more Covenant ships emerged from [[Slipspace]] around his ships in mid-charge, destroying the human fleet and killing Patterson in the process.
