DEMEANOUR: Pat does his best to keep the peace. He wants to keep people from worrying, so he tends to swallow his problem. Sometimes he stares vacantly, jumps at loud noises, rubs his thighs when nervous. He used to be a lot brighter and cheerful, but the trauma made him dull down.

BACKGROUND: Patrick served in Vietnam for a gruelling five years, and ever since he returned home in 1975 he’s been struggling to live life normally again. They won, yes, but not without losing countless lives. He’s had to shoot innocents, seen his comrades’ guts spill out, has been shot himself multiple times. Despite this he does everything he can to remain the perfect family man, although his shell shock has had a huge toll on his marriage with Shirley and he feels quite lost. He also has his suspicions he cheated while he was away, but for the children’s sake he keeps those thoughts to himself.

RELATIONSHIPS: William (Billy) Sinclair - Son, 10 y/o. A real handful, Pat does his best to be a role model, affectionately refers to him as Billy the Kid.

Carolyn Sinclair - Daughter, 15 y/o. In her teenage rebellious age, but she's always been a daddy's girl and the apple of Pat's eye. He doesn't understand her most of the time, but he's affectionate nevertheless.

Shirley Sinclair (neé Hayden) - Wife, 35 y/o. The two got married young given she fell pregnant. He's convinced that she's been cheating on him since his deployment, but he's chosen to pretend he doesn't know, it's easier than to face it. They didn't marry for love, but because it was the next thing to do. He was never really in love with her, he simply learnt to be content.
