Patrem is one of the main antagonists of Johnisdead. Patrem is the Ascended spirit of Hank Hubbard. He also went by the name Kelbris while he was in the Moon Children. In 1998, he left the Moon Children and later created the Lunar Children. After Undecim Nocte, Patrem was trapped within the body of Vincent Adams, though at some point he was released and now resides within Greth.
Description[edit]
Patrem is often seen speaking in a very commanding and authoritative tone. He thinks highly of himself, claiming to be an all-powerful god. As the giant Kelbris, he speaks in all caps and short sentences. When he was Hank, he had a rather sophisticated way of speaking.
History[edit]
Patrem was originally a man named Hank Hubbard who was born on July 5th, 1937. At some point, Hank married a woman named Diana. The two wanted a child, but for some reason, Diana could not become pregnant. The two instead adopted a boy named Matt, inadvertently separating him from his sister Rosa, as they could only afford to care for one child at the time.
In 1990, Hank and Diana joined a cult known as the Moon Children. This same year, Diana miraculously became pregnant, giving birth to Ben. Though Hank was overjoyed to have a biological son, it came at the cost of Diana's life, who died during childbirth. Hank began neglecting his adopted son Matt, giving Ben all the love and attention.
Hank, now going by the name Kelbris, inducted Ben into the Moon Children. In 1998, Hank's sanity began slipping. He started hearing the moon goddess Luna speaking to him, teaching him the ways of Ascension. When he told the rest of the cult of ascension, they was it was blasphemy. Hank was outcast from the group, along with several others who decided to follow his ways, such as Jeremy.
During this time, Ben remained within the cult, as instructed by Hank. Hank told him to stay close to them, but to not listen to what they tell him. On Ben's birthday in 2002, Hank gifted his son a Nintendo 64 and a copy of Majora's Mask. Only a month later on April 23rd, 2002, Hank drowned Ben, causing him to ascend. Ben's soul was then trapped within the cartridge, where the evil spirit known as Tenebris would capture him, using him as a vessel. Shortly after this, Matt electrocuted Hank, killing him. This inadvertently caused Hank to transcend into one of the Four Giants. While Hank's body was acting as one of the four giants, it is implied that his soul resided elsewhere and began acting on it's own, becoming known as Patrem.
Eight years later in 2010, Hank's body became reanimated and approached Matt, imbuing him with Tenebris's will. Matt then went on a rampage, killing off Moon Children and ascending both Spencer and Alex. Hank's body then approached Rosa and thrust her into Luna's Parallelos. Meanwhile, Patrem had been cultivating his own following known as the Lunar Children. In 2011, Patrem was present at Kevin's ascension on Undecim Nocte. However, something went wrong and Patrem became trapped within the body of Vincent Adams, a fellow cultist.
The following years, Patrem would only become active whenever Vincent fell asleep. All the while, Vincent was completely unaware that Patrem resided within his body. In 2015, Patrem made contact with the players over the Within Hubris forums. During this time, he prepared for the 2015 Undecim Nocte, where Tyler was planned to be sacrificed to summon Luna. He also took part in the Blood Moon Ritual, as seen in the video Blood Moon Ritual Pt.1. After Undecim Nocte 2015 failed, Patrem wasn't heard from much. In 2016, he was still likely active using Vincent's body, as indicated by several posts on Lunarchildren.com. However, it is unknown what became of him following the cataclysm of The Spire.
Later in 2016, the four giants returned along with Youshouldnthavedonethat.net. When players finally managed to work their way into The Truth and activate the Kill Switch, Hank's body Kelbris came to his senses, apologizing for the suffering he has caused and neglecting Matt. Meanwhile, Patrem was still active. At some point in time, Patrem began using Greth as his new vessel. How exactly this came about and for what purpose is unknown, though it seems as though he is once again attempting to cultivate a following and capture Tyler.
