History

Patrick and Jia along with Luke and Amatis Graymark, Maryse and Robert, Senhor and Senhora Monteverde and Nasreen Chaudhury discussed their plans to side against Valentine and whether or not to accept the help of the Downworlders.
Patrick gave Clary his stele for she can show them the Alliance rune, which will help combine the efforts of both Shadowhunters and Downworlders for they could work together against Valentine and his army of demons which they agreed and the Clave choose not to surrender. Patrick, Jia and Maryse and Robert Lightwood and the other Shadowhunters and Downworlders witnessed when Alec openly kissed Magnus in the Hall of Accords acknowledging their relationship.

Patrick and Jia found out their daughter, Aline was a lesbian when she came out to them. Aline met and began dating Helen Blackthorn despite the Clave's disapproval. Patrick was not happy that Aline had chosen a girl at all rather than a boy that he mourned selfishly for what he saw as the end of the branch of the Penhallows. Patrick's wife, Jia soon became the new Consul.
Dark War
Patrick and his wife, Jia allowed Emma Carstairs and Helen's siblings; Julian, Tiberius, Livia, Drusilla and Octavian(with the exception of Mark, who got captured by Sebastian) to stay at their house when the Los Angeles Institute was attacked by Sebastian and his Endarkened. The Clave interrogated Emma, Julian, Tiberius, Livia and Drusilla (with the exception of Octavian) with the Mortal Sword about the events that happened at the Los Angeles Institute.
