Patrick Pewterschmidt is Lois Griffin’s long lost older brother. He was locked away in a mental institution by Carter and Barbara, after he walked in on his mother having oral sex with Jackie Gleason.

He has an invisible/imaginary wife named Marion, but she is believed to be real because she caused a cucumber to turn into a pickle after being placed where her vagina would be for three weeks.
