He works hard, unknown to him is his twin brother jealous. His mother dies when he's very young and he and his brother is sent off to a wizard whom is going insane after not having got the chosen children.
The 4th book's Norwegian cover as seen here. ”When it is finished growing, it bites through the nerves leading to the head and then eats the animal it is living in,” said Sha-ra. If Inga hadn't been domesticated, it would have been a lot worse. Death by a straight-razor-wielding chimp. Just, the imagery of that salivating, disfigured mouth and the guttural animal-like noises emanating from it. And the sounds he makes when he corners Jennifer on the boat, coupled with the close-ups of said Nightmare Face. She gets away, and Patua is finally killed when he's submerged in the flames caused by the gasoline-tainted water. While underwater to avoid the flames, Patua, who is still alive but mostly devoured, tries grabbing Jennifer. He falls into the river, and Jennifer is forced to jump off the boat before it explodes due to a leaking engine. The flies start to devour his body, and he at one point rips off a chunk of his face trying to get the flies off. When Patua corners Jennifer on the motorboat, she gets so scared a massive swarm of flies responds to her distress and attacks Patua.
He was crazy but the way he died was beyond nasty.
