PATCHY_PETE is a worn-out rejected-reaper stitched together from obsolete code, haunted hard drives, & digital duct tape. His skull’s a janky circuit board graveyard, dripping with wires & the sighs of systems long past their prime. He’s the guy IT calls when even IT gives up. Emotionally fried & eternally debugging, PETE doesn’t fix things so much as… make them functional-ish. His updates come with side effects, & his presence feels like a forced restart mid-crisis. He’s constantly saying, “Don’t worry, I’ve patched worse.” Art by Ed Dinzole
