Entitlement:
Physical description: As a mortal he stands around 5' 10 with gray hair and fades into the background. Strangely his time in the hedge has not affected the age of his Seeming. He appears as a person in his mid 30s with cold gray skin. His skin almost appears to be translucent and all that may remain of him is a man shaped body of frozen mist. Those near him often notice that the temperature appears to have dropped and shadows are more intense and almost appear alive.

Known History
Basic Timeline:
As far as most people know Dr. Fouyr escaped from the Lodge Master in Dec 3 1999 he neither speaks of or carries any item tying himself to his former existence.
Current Activities:
Known to all:
Since 2001 Dr. Fouyr has been running Hopes End Children’s Charities for the poor and destitute children in Seattle. Hopes End is the financial origination backing many of the primary charities in Seattle. It supplies grants and checks to many local charities including Driftwood and Dr. Fouyr medical mission. It offers free medical services to those who could not normally afford them. Hopes End Children’s Charities is also a charity that is attempting to raise money to cover its primary mission of basic healthcare for all children in Seattle. While the charity has been around for about 20 years it had never had much funding. That all changed when it brought on Daniel Mermin to manage it daily activity. Most of its recent money has been received from the major Biomedical companies in the Northwest. In 2002 rumors circulated it had encaged in some form of blackmail of the Biotech industries top companies, but these were quickly dismissed because who associated with the charity would have anyway of knowing about the actions of the financiers of these companies.
While Hopes End Children’s Charities is an actual origination the majority of Dr. Fouyr’s time is spent running Puget Sound Medical Services. Puget Sound Medical Services in the emergency care center for Changeling. It is dedicated to treating all injured Changelings and researching the hazards that face our existence. The only cost of the service is a promise to respect the neutrality of the Puget Sound Medical Services. He also asks that all those who receive help aid in the defense and protection of Puget Sound Medical Services but no obligation to agree to this is required for treatment. Dr. Fouyr is a firm believer in patient doctor privilege and does not easily share who is currently being treated.
Known only to those he considers friends:
He is also attempting to insure that his children grow up in a kinder and more caring environment than he did. However do the nature of his captivity and his dedication to health as well as the fact he feels his fetch is more of the man he was going to become than he will ever be he has taken and plans on taking no direct action against his fetch.
Merit Details:
Background:
Known to only those he trusts and those who do a bit of research:
Patrick was born on September 23, 1965 to one of the richest families in the northwest. He grew up as a spoiled child of wealth and privilege. After Graduating as the Valedictorian of his high school he went on to Harvard where he completed a double major in Law and Bio Physics.
After graduation he took over the family business and has been running one of the most profitable Bio Medicine companies in the US.
Before his abduction Patrick is a very typical cold executive he was always more concerned with his family reputation and money than with any individual. Even his wife and kids are more of a sign of his position than people to be cared about. His fetch has continued to live this life growing the family business in both ethical and unethical ways. Dr. Fouyr however has never claimed that his fetch has done anything he would not have if he would never have been abducted.
He married Mary Hartwood in 1986 and by the time of his abduction he had 3 children with her.

His time in the hedge
Master of the Hounds to the Lodge Master.
With such a title you would think he would have been something important instead of what he was.
After his capture was Patrick was stripped and chained to the wall. The collar he was placed in had 16 evenly spaced spikes on the inside and to this day when looking closely enough at his neck you can see the scars where each of the spikes penetrated his skin.
Sometimes the Master would show up and take him by the chain to tend to other creatures of the fae.
After 14 years of captivity (or 14 weeks in our time) Patrick heard the sounds of battle from the beyond the hedge. His attention was swept up by the string of wounded that started to appear for him to attended as the masters servants were being quickly overran. The battle itself however was drawing closer and closer and to his shock a man leading a small army stepped through the hedge he had never been able to penetrate.
The Masters servants swarmed the people who stepped through. Most of them fail quickly in battle and laid wounded in the hounds own home. Seeing creatures like himself seemingly free of the Gentry shocked Patrick greatly. However he saw that they needed help so he gathered all he could reach and set up a triage station for their wounds. Straining so hard against the limits of his confinement that the 16 spikes on his collar drove deeply into his flesh covering him with his own blood.
Shortly after this he sensed creatures of great power stepping into his areas. At first it appeared that their leader (Adamant) was about to kill him seeing only a creature of the Lodge Master covered in blood of his followers. But another noticed the fact he was tending all the wounded as opposed to being responsible for the wounds talked him out of it (Silver Salmon). The moment was broken by the sound of a horn, the Lodge Master had returned. Patrick expected the strangers to run to hide perhaps taking their wounded with them but instead they appeared to prepare for battle and march towards the sound of the lodge masters horn.
As they marched on Patrick stared after them and he was able to see them charge up the hill to face the Lodge Master himself.
After the death of their leader chaos broke out in the ranks of his followers. Silver Salmon remembering those Patrick was caring for ran back to take them out as well in an attempt to save as many as possible as the battle had been lost. Seeing the number of wounded and Patrick's effort to help Salve Salmon choose to risk one more enemy freed to fight and broke the collar binding Patrick to the Lodge Master and ordered him to help carry out the wounded.
As they approached the edge of the hedge the sound of the Lodge Masters horn broke out once again coming closer and closer. Faster than they with the wounded could flee he would arrive. Ordering Patrick to take the wounded out and stop for nothing Silver Salmon turned to face his doom. Somehow he managed to engage the Lodge Master long enough for the wounded and Patrick to escape from the hedge. Sadly Patrick saw Silver Salmon being cleaved in half by one of the servants of the Lodge Master as they stepped out of the Hedge.
Waiting for them was a few survivors of Adamants folly and the few changelings who had not gone but were unwilling to go into hiding.
For the first few years after the fall many were in doubt of Dr. Fouyr (Patrick's new name) to such a degree he was never seen alone, always accompanied by Hachua'Bsh or the current proprietor of Drift Wood.
But as the years passed and his dedication to healing became known and counted on the doubt faded. By 2003 he was fully accepted into the Changeling Society of Seattle and was even accepted as the new Guardian of the Long House when Hachua'Bsh faded away.
In 2005 any lingering doubts of the Changeling of Seattle were laid to rest when the Mantel of Autumn fell on his shoulders 9 months later he served as the Autumn King of Seattle.
