Sue Ivy Patterson, a thirty-two-year-old male originally from Kholo Colony, stands as a testament to resilience and determination. Born into a family of three siblings, Sue's early life on the colony was marked by the harsh realities of frontier living, instilling in him a sense of duty and toughness. His physical appearance reflects his rugged background; he's of medium build, with a weathered complexion that hints at years spent under the unforgiving suns of Kholo. His hair, once a vibrant brown, now shows streaks of gray, a testament to the stress and trauma he's endured. A notable feature is the scarring on his left cheek, a memento from the chemical burns he suffered in an accident that nearly cost him his life.

At eighteen, driven by a need to protect his home and family, Sue enlisted in the UNSC Marine Corps. His dedication and skill saw him rise through the ranks, eventually leading him to join the elite STEG unit six years later. It was during his tenure with STEG that the accident occurred, leaving him with not only physical scars but also a burning desire to prevent such tragedies from befalling others. This led to his reassignment to the Springfield, tasked with bolstering their CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) defense capabilities.

Sue's unique quirk is his habit of tapping his fingers in a rhythmic pattern whenever he's deep in thought, a remnant of his time spent learning Morse code during his early military training. This trait often surfaces during moments of high stress or when he's strategizing his next move.

Despite his reassignment, Sue's ultimate goal remains to return to active field duty with STEG. However, his superiors see him as more valuable in his current role, creating a conflict within him. He spends his days training Springfield's personnel, all the while looking for opportunities to prove his worth and return to the front lines. His efforts pay off when he uncovers a plot that threatens the entire colony, allowing him to showcase his skills and negotiate his return to STEG.

Sue's journey is fraught with internal and external conflicts. Internally, he battles with feelings of inadequacy and the fear that his accident has permanently sidelined him. Externally, he faces bureaucratic resistance and the constant threat of new dangers to his beloved colony. Yet, through perseverance and strategic maneuvering, Sue finds a way to not only overcome these challenges but also to emerge stronger, ready to face whatever threats come next.
