Patrick Fitzpatrick III

Spoiled and arrogant grandson of the former Hansa Chairman Maureen Fitzpatrick. Disdainful of the scrappy Roamer recruit Tasia Tamblyn, Patrick does not excel as an EDF cadet himself, but his family connections put him on the fast track to becoming an officer. Early in his career he does General Lanyan's dirty work and destroys an "inconvenient" Roamer vessel and its crew; this is the first in a series of Hansa and EDF actions that alienate the Roamers and smaller colonies. Patrick is left for dead when the EDF are defeated by hydrogues at Osquivel, but he and several of his comrades are rescued by Roamers from a hidden shipyard in the area. The shipyard's owner, Del Kellum, reluctantly refuses to let the EDF survivors leave in order to protect the location of his secret facility. Resentful of their captivity, Patrick and his comrades and uncooperative and look for a means of escape, but he slowly begins to admire the hardworking Roamers and realize how he has been deceived by the misguided Hansa. Patrick and Del's daughter Zhett share mutual animosity and attraction; he soon realizes he would be happy to stay at Osquivel and work with the Roamers, but he reluctantly uses his connection to Zhett to effect his escape for the good of the other EDF captives. Patrick's grandmother coincidentally arrives with an invading EDF force; he brokers freedom for the Romaers, who flee the system. Patrick later tracks down Zhett and her father to apologize for his part in the attack on the Roamer ship years before. Zhett ultimately forgives him, and the two begin an active resistance against the corrupt Hansa and EDF.
