His mother was born in Ireland as well as her father but her mother was born in Copenhagen in the historical country of Denmark.
Pat's childhood was a rather ordinary one; he was born in a small town in Ireland but in spite of the town's size, he was by no means isolated from the rest of the Federation. He grew up with holonovels about daring adventure deep in space. While he did enjoy tales about Starfleet, what most drew his attention were the tales of maverick captains, braving it in the wilderness of space with their isolated crews.
His parents were creative people and encouraged their children to take up many hobbies. While many of the hobbies his parents encouraged bored him, Pat continues to play music to this day. He has taken to playing many instruments, he brought an oboe with him on his first assignment in Starfleet, but his fondest memories from childhood are when we was playing cello with his brother.

Upon being commissioned at the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, Patrick McLeod was assigned to the [[USS Apollo]]. Due to the destruction of the Apollo, his assignment, along with the rest of the Apollo crew was temporarily on the [[USS Aegis]].
The first thing people notice about Pat is how outgoing he is; he's a very social guy and tries to make friends whenever he can. However, his outgoing attitude, while pleasant, does prove to be intimidating for some people who aren't used to being around somebody of his disposition.


When he was commissioned, Pat waited at Deep Space 5 to board the Aegis and in an attempt to kill time, he took his cat to one of the many veterinary clinics on the station. He took him more time than he would have expected and he ended up missing a notice which stated the time that the Aegis would depart from the station, resulting in him missing the departure.
To people who don't know him, Pat comes off as being a bit arrogant. That comes from airs of confidence he puts on not necessarily stemming from any arrogance but actually as a way of masking his insecurities. He always wants to do the best job that he can and gets somewhat stressed when he doesn't do his job perfectly. He feels that if he doesn't do his job perfectly that somehow the world might end. That frame of mind may not be too far from the truth in his new life in Starfleet, though, because while in civilian life a mistake here or there would mean next to nothing, on a ship in the far reaches of space, any action could have dire consequences.


What followed was possibly one of the most embarrassing beginnings to a care that one might expect. He had to contact Starfleet Command in order to inform him of his situation, whereafter they dispatched a runabout that would transport him to his new assignment.
Pat has had only one relationship in his life which ended when he joined Starfleet and the pain of it is something that he keeps locked away in a dark corner of his mind. He likes women. A lot. He is a somewhat flirtatious man and while he isn't the kind of person to have one night stands, or casual flings here and there, he doesn't put much effort into hiding his interests.
