Appearance[]
Patterson is a tall, handsome young man with short, black hair and dark green eyes, accompanied by thin framed glasses with square lenses. He's usually seen wearing a dark blue three-piece suit with a purple tie.
Personality[]
Patterson appears to be a relatively quiet individual, choosing to observe events and assist from behind the scenes rather than insert himself directly; a trait that makes him well-suited to his role as an informant for William James Moriarty.
He has also shown himself to be proficient at lying and remaining low-key, managing to raise no suspicion from Lestrade during his and Bonde's operation to recover evidence against Arterton.
Biography[]
Due to his position at Scotland Yard, Paterson is essential to William James Moriarty as he relays critical information about ongoing investigations. Moriarty comments that Paterson has become even more valuable to their cause after his promotion from regular investigator to head of the CID, as having someone in the chain of command in Scotland Yard is extremely advantageous in terms of information access.

After William's disappearance and Albert's subsequent stepping down from MI6, Paterson is shown as one of the individuals from Moriarty's faction who continues to work diligently for MI6.
