Peter Bourgot

**Peter Bourgot** (born Pierre Bourgot; August 1, 1450 - July 17, 2020) was a former lawyer in York, England. For hundreds of years, he hid his secret identity as a werewolf from the rest of the world until he was exposed by Merlyn Murphy, Jack Sherwood, and Elliot O'Donnell during the Shredder Investigation.

## Biography

### Early Life

Peter Bourgot was born on August 1, 1450 in Europe (likely France) as Pierre Bourgot. He was a farmer for most of his early life. At one point, he was offered the ability to transform into a werewolf which he took in order to protect his livestock. To transform, he would use a special ointment that would later be used as hair gel to keep up appearances. He eventually lost control over his werewolf inhibitions and slaughtered them. He would go on to live for centuries and had an insatiable bloodlust.

### Shredder Investigation

In 1999, he ended up as a lawyer in England, opening his own law firm, where he occasionally worked alongside Detective Sergeant Jack Sherwood. In 2017, he would take on a partner, Phillis Burger. He told Phillis about his werewolf condition and Phillis agreed to help him as long as Peter promised to eventually turn him and teach him how to live life as a werewolf. In 2019, Peter’s bloodlust grew in intensity and he began to kill left and right. The killings were attributed to a potential serial killer nicknamed “Shredder”. He wrote in a journal bragging about the murders.

On January 17, Peter had killed his final victim, Cirilla Monarch. After tearing incriminating pages out of his journal, he was able to pin the blame on Tom Einstorn, the café owner walking Cirilla home at the time of her death. In order to secure his own secret, he represented the prosecution on the case against Einstorn.

On July 16, 2020, he had Phillis call up Jack who had previously been taken off the case due to his personal connection with the last victim. Their plan was to hire Jack as an outside PI to somehow come across evidence that would hurt Einstorn’s case and lock him up for good. However, Peter did not anticipate the keen nose of Jack’s new partner, Merlyn Murphy. Murphy had come to the conclusion fairly quickly that Peter was a werewolf.

When Peter and Phillis met Jack and Murphy at a restaurant, Peter presented CCTV footage of Tom Einstorn and Cirilla Monarch shortly before the murder. He asked Jack to go over the evidence and see if he could find something incriminating. When Jack went to pay the bill, his silver money clip grazed against Peter’s skin, at which Peter pulled his hand back in visible pain, further cementing Murphy’s theory about him being a werewolf.

After Jack and Murphy headed to the station to look through the evidence, Peter received a call from Jack asking to meet at Peter’s office. When Peter had to step out for a moment, Jack peered inside Peter’s briefcase and tried his special hair gel. He also discovered the missing journal pages that Peter had ripped out of his journal. When Peter returned he realized that Jack had gone through his things, but was especially surprised that the hair gel seemed to have no effect on Jack. Jack and Murphy left Peter’s office quickly, and Peter, now suspicious of Jack, had Phillis follow the two of them.

Later that day, Peter received another call from Jack asking to meet at the scene of the crime by A64 outside of Clifton Moor. He and Phillis went there, although Peter considered it to be a strange meeting spot. Murphy, Jack, and Jack’s former partner Elliot O’Donnell met them at the crime scene, and accused Peter of not only killing Cirilla and the other victims as well as framing Tom Einstorn, but also of being a werewolf. Peter initially denied the accusations, but changed his mind about it when he realized that Murphy was a Parliament agent and was trained in such things.

Peter transformed into a werewolf on the spot and attempted to kill Murphy and Jack while Phillis handled Elliot. Elliot managed to overpower Phillis fairly easily using a walking stick. Murphy managed to dodge Peter’s attacks and land a few blows of her own using her silver knuckles. The tide of the battle turned when Jack threw a silver plate at Peter, temporarily disabling him while Murphy repeatedly hit him with the silver knuckles.

Peter transformed back into a human and admitted defeat, though he refused to tell Murphy who had turned him into a werewolf. Peter told Phillis that he could take over his law practice, but Phillis wanted no part of it, having felt betrayed that Peter had broken his promise to teach Phillis how to live as a werewolf. Peter went along with Murphy, Jack, and Elliot while Phillis stayed behind at the crime scene.

Peter drafted a letter confessing to his crimes, though he didn’t mention that his committed the murders as a werewolf. Murphy then brought Peter to a village of werewolves who secluded themselves from society. Here, she said, Peter would be able to act on his animal urges without the risk of hurting other humans. Murphy and Jack left the village, and Peter joined the others there.

### Death

Later that night, Peter went into the forest to hunt wild animals. He went alone, as he was the only werewolf who did not have to rely on the full moon to transform. Phillis approached him, brandishing a silver sword. He impaled Peter with the sword, killing him.
