Biography
Gregori Arcane was a businessman living in the Balkan mountain region of Eastern Europe, where he raised his daughter Abigail as best as he could. However, he became the target of neighbors who considered him an unfit father. One day they took away his daughter, and Gregori wandered into a minefield leftover from World War II while searching for her. Gregori's mad scientist brother Anton Arcane gathered up the pieces of Gregori's body and sewed them back together. Through sorcery, Gregori was resurrected as the misshapen Patchwork Man. For years, Gregori was imprisoned in Anton's dungeons until he was inadvertently freed by the Swamp Thing, and sought out for his daughter, now an adult. (Swamp Thing v2 #59)
The Swamp Thing engaged the Patchwork Man in battle while endeavouring to rescue Abby. Due to his injuries and transformation into a monster, the Patchwork Man could only remember that Abby was his daughter and that he was to rescue her. He falls to his apparent death, and the Swamp Thing and Abby go on to other adventures. (Swamp Thing v1 #3)
Ultimately, Gregori sadly could not bear to allow Abigail to see his hideous form and remained in exile until he was reunited with his daughter and rendered into pieces caused by a severe storm. (Swamp Thing v2 #59)
