So on this page, Patrick says he doesn't "really identify as a person". That hasn't been revisited since, but on the second page of this chapter IVS says "I am not a who". Wonder if that's narratively significant as a connection between them, or if it's just a broader social trend among the biodynamic.

I think the distinction here would be IVS asking to be thought of or approached as a concept of vengeance rather than a person being asked to enact it, like in V for Vendetta, the mask is the face that matters.
Patrick isn't defining himself as inhuman in the sense of wishing to be perceived as some kind of ideal, but simply because the nature of his power denies him an understanding of the basic human condition in anything other than the academic sense.
