## Early Life

Peter Pembrook was born in the Freeborn Republic, a South-American nation that was founded during the 1930s where his grandfather was a major leader and celebrated as the founder of the nation's armed forces. By the late 1970s the Freeborn Republic was nearing collapse due to multiple communist rebellions and native uprising in Occupied Chile and Argentina.

When Pembrook was born his father had already met the same fate as his grandfather while leading the "Bloody" Sixth in the south of the Freeborn Republic. As part of an agreement with the United States Government, the settlers or descendants of the settlers were invited to move back to the US.

In 1982 Pembrook was taken to San Andreas along with his mother where he grew up. Not much is known about his teenage years but we know he attended the University of San Andreas, Los Santos for Criminology.

#### Military Service

After graduating from ULSA, Peter Pembrook joined the US Military in 2003 as a Lieutenant in the 10th Mountain Division. He served from 2003 to 2007 reaching the rank of Captain before parting ways with the military.

He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for acts of sustained heroism in combat as well as the Global War on Terrorism Medal and the Iraq Campaign Medal. During his time in the 10th Mountain Division he participated in the Siege of Sadr City as part of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team. His actions got him noticed by the 75th Ranger Regiment and he was recruited to the regiment.

In early 2006, he took up the leadership of the Military Intelligence Company based out of Fort Benning. In March 2006, DEVGRU operators and a Ranger element that Pembrook was in, carried out an operation allegedly under the code name Operation Vigilant Harvest.

Their target was an al-Qaeda training camp in North Waziristan in Pakistan, they were flown across the Afghan-Pakistan border. The force killed as many as 30 terrorists, including the Chechen camp commandant Imam Asad. The operation has been falsely credited to the Pakistani Special Service Group.

On 1 January 2006, Pembrook's Rangers raided a remote farmhouse outside Baghdad (one of a large number of raids planned that night), the operation almost didn't launch because mechanical problems plagued one of its helicopters. The Rangers reached the farmhouse and breached it, they captured several gunmen without a fight and rescued British freelance journalist Phillip Sands, who had been kidnapped a week earlier.

In November 2006, a new secret directive sanctioned by President Bush had allowed US forces in Iraq to kill or capture Iranian nationals if they were engaged in targeting Coalition forces due to Hezbollah success in the 2006 Lebanon War and Iran's defiance on its nuclear issue; the new mission was known by its acronym CII (Counter Iranian Influence). A new command based around the headquarters of an Army Special Forces group was formed, codenamed: Task Force 17, which given the CII missions.

## Law Enforcement

After leaving the military Peter Pembrook began a career in law enforcement starting with becoming a detective in the Blaine County Sheriff's Office in Davis County. He served for four years before leaving the department in 2013. He pursued a Master's Degree in Criminal Psychology again returning to ULSA. After he got finished with his masters he applied to the Federal Investigation Bureau and was assigned to the Internal Affairs Division of San Andreas shortly after finishing FIB school at Quantico.

He served at the IAD desk for 2 1/2 years before being promoted to Special Agent-in-Charge of San Andreas Operations. During this time he implemented new regulatory operations and sent Federal Troopers into Los Santos to secure the city after the Los Santos Police Department collapsed under Chief Aleyn Mouring. This enhanced federal policing levels were maintained well into the the tenure of Chief Alex Columbus.

After LSPD began rebuilding and taking control of the city back the FIB was retasked to focus on gang intelligence, drug trafficking and illegal weapons sales. While the FIB maintains a strong policing force under Pembrook, it is currently winding down general policing to focus on major crime and investigating other law enforcement agencies.

#### Department of Justice

Pembrook took over the Department of Justice's Legal Division from Alex Columbus when it was being poorly managed. The main focus of Pembrook was to get judges and lawyers into San Andreas and become a full legal force to uphold the constitution. Unfortunately Pembrook's success in the DOJ's Law Enforcement Division did not translate to meaningful success in getting legal careers running in the state immediately.

In February of 2021 Pembrook hired Daniel Portman to the position of judge and began working with Supreme Justice Joseph Brown to build of the DOJ. During this time trials started to become more common and courts began being utilized more. Both for civil actions like permits and record expungement as well as for lawsuits and criminal proceedings.

By the beginning of April of 2021 the DOJ is now running as a fuller and more important entity within the state.

#### Federal Politics

In May of 2021 it was announced from Director Pembrook's office that he would be stepping down from the Director seat as he was being appointed by Democratic President John Smith to lead the Department of Justice as Attorney General. The President praised Pembrook's law enforcement and military record and said he was perfect for the job. Pembrook has not publicly stated his politic beliefs but given his promotion, it is likely he supports the democratic party.

Some people believe that Pembrook should run for federal office but unfortunately he does not qualify for either President or Vice-President due to being born in another country. There are rumours he may run for Governor of Liberty City when it becomes an available position.

## Personal Life

Peter is not known to have any significant others or relationships of any kind. He has made some comments in the past that his family isn't safe from gangs and that as a federal agent any family he has is in danger. There has been two attempts on Pembrook's life in the past. He is said to enjoy the finer things in life and he recently purchased a large Vineyard and estate named Chateau Pembrook in Western Blaine County.

#### Attempted Assassinations

On two occasions someone has attempted to murder Pembrook. The first occasion was during a time of increased federal agents on the street. Someone put a hit out on him with the value set at $175,000. While parked at street light a bullet passed through the rear windshield of Pembrook's charger. He made a quick escape and no further attempts were made based on that hit.

A second attempt was made on Pembrook's life during a political campaign while he was protecting a candidate for Governor. His Armored Chevy Suburban was sitting in a parking lot when it began taking heavy assault rifle fire from a helicopter. Close to 30 rounds struck the vehicle but all passengers were safe and unharmed.

#### Political Views

Pembrook has not made any political views public and he has never publicly endorsed a candidate. He is not known to hold any party memberships. However, in recent months local police have reported that during interactions with high-ranking local police, Pembrook made comments about how he answers directly to the president.

These roudabout comments are all but confirmed with the announcement of his promotion to Attorney General.

#### Hobbies and Trivia

He is known to collect rare vintage cars and at one time owned a very rare 1981 DMC DeLorean with a wide-body conversion. He was often seen bringing it to car shows and driving it around town.

He often leads Special Response Teams himself rather than getting lower ranked agents to do it due to his experience in the US Military.
