Patrick Huge
CharacterPatrick Huge is a celebrated American robotics tycoon in Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 whose public image as a generous billionaire masks a darker truth. Secretly a post-human, he arms a terrorist cell before becoming the prize target in a covert mission to take one of his kind alive.
Appearance
Huge keeps his brown hair short and tidy and wears a goatee and glasses. Press photographs catch him in sharp black suits or matching dark ensembles, yet when the GHOST team first reaches him he is dressed in nothing more formal than a gold-trimmed black bathrobe.
Personality
To the wider public Huge is the acceptable face of extreme wealth, nicknamed the Good One-percenter for his apparent generosity. That philanthropy is a mask for a post-human agenda: the same fortune that funds charity quietly bankrolls violence, and his cyberbrain has grown so foreign that it treats any mind it touches as something to overwrite.
History
Huge first enters the story only by implication, named by the double agent Obsidian as the altruistic backer who armed a cell of retired footballers recast as militants. Recognizing him as a rare chance to seize a living, intact post-human for study, John Smith of the National Security Agency assembles and drills the GHOST unit around the capture. Huge proves brutally difficult even for Motoko Kusanagi's seasoned operatives, but they finally subdue him. When the Major dives into his mind, she finds a cyberbrain turned utterly alien and senses it reaching to infect her, prompting her to order Saito to open fire and wreck the brain before it can spread.
