== Biography ==
Piper is first seen, in an airplane, ordering his men to capture Sebastian Tapia. He then congratulated Daryl for his strong prowess and even promotes him as his right-hand man after taking down a small town. While in camp, Piper asked Daryl about his family and as Daryl told him that his family were hardly around, Piper told him that family meant everything to him and explains that it is the main reason why the Unit are still intact and stronger as ever. During the war, Piper began to use unconventional tactics and even committed war crimes, such as burning down villages and killing civilians, who made Daryl immediately distrusted him. Piper's methods are further shown when the Unit used immoral methods to kill the ARF forces and killed a wounded Sebastian Tapia, despite having orders to capture him. Because of this, Daryl managed to kill a few of Piper's men and escaped, leading to the entire unit being imprisoned and dishonorably discharged.
Thanks to Ryder, Piper and the Unit broke out of prison and began to go after Daryl in retaliation. They began to attack Jay and Lilly to prove Daryl that they're back. However, Daryl managed to kill Griggs and most of their men throughout their hunt, angering Piper. During Daryl's war, Piper was wounded and seemingly killed by Daryl, but survived with major burn wounds and scars. Despite this, Piper managed to use his brutal methods against Daryl, but failed, such as attacking an Amish community that Daryl was hiding in with the help of a defector. Because of this, Piper was eventually killed in his last stand when Daryl found their compound and killed a portion of his forces, finally ending the Unit's reign of terror.
== Personality ==
In his first appearance, Piper is shown as a reasonable, respectable, and fearless individual that was overly patriotic and was a fierce and strong leader to the core, having cared for his own men and using the fatherly title to keep his men safe.
However, Piper is truly revealed by Daryl as a phony. His patriotic and fearless attitude is simply a facade to hide his true nature as an utterly ruthless, sadistic, and psychopathic man that was more than willing to kill anyone without hesitation or remorse if he considered them as threats to his goals and use immoral acts of violence and war crimes to accomplish his goals. He is also shown to be have xenophobic and genocidal tendencies, willing to destroy villages and small towns to deal with the ARF and even had no qualms about letting his men kill, rape, and torture anyone, even children, making Piper more depraved and vicious than most antagonists.
However, Piper is shown to be a coward, tending to flee from battles to save his own skin, letting his men die while trying to find a way out, and using his viewpoint of terrorism to justify his war crimes, showcasing his deceitful side.
Because of his extreme mercilessness and lust for power, Piper died a ruthless, sadistic, and uncaring man that used immoral acts of violence to accomplish his goals.
