Todd Patterson, also known as Father Archon, was the father of Elliot Patterson and the husband of the late Martha Patterson.

Biography[]

Like his wife Martha, Todd was a member of the Cult of the Unwritten Book. He and his wife raised their son Elliot, known to the cult as the Book, away from society, keeping him always close. When the time finally came for Elliot to be read and the Decreator summoned, Todd betrayed the cult and warned Elliot about the reality of the Cult's goals. This earned him a swift death at the hands of his wife, who slit his throat with a kitchen knife.

Despite his death, Todd was still transformed into Father Archon alongside his wife, who became Mother Archon. Had his throat not still been slit, he presumably would have ruled over Nurnheim alongside his wife.
