Patrick is the son of William Blackwood, who is the son of Manfred Blackwood, founder of Blackwood Farm. Patrick has two siblings, Aunt Queen and Gravier, the latter being the great-grandfather of Quinn Blackwood. Because Patrick’s father is sterile, his grandfather entices Julien Mayfair to pretend to be William so that he can father children for William with both of William’s wives. The ghost of Julien Mayfair confesses to Quinn that William’s first wife, Grace, gave birth to his son, Gravier, before William’s second wife gave birth to his daughter, Lorraine, whom Quinn knows as Aunt Queen. However, Julien does not confess to fathering any other children. The identity of Patrick’s true father remains a mystery. At a young age, Patrick falls from a horse and dies of a concussion in one of the upstairs bedrooms of Blackwood Manor. Unlike his brother, Gravier, Patrick is never seen as ghost haunting the house, and everyone believes he is resting well in the family crypt.
