## Biography

### Early Life

#### City Boy

Peter grew up very much within the eastern side of the USA which was very industrialised and colonised with cities upon cities, with Peter's father being a teacher in one of the schools and his mother being a nurse he had a more of a middle class upbringing, with his young age he did attend school where he was educated on many things and because of his father being a teacher he was also given a lot of private education which allowed him to become quite a smart child.

#### Meet The Government

Within the year of 1875 Peter applied to work as a federal agent to which he was accepted and had to undergo 2 years of training in the field with weapons and tracking for he would eventually be sent out west, after his 2 years of training in the year of 1877 Peter was sent out west to Tallport on his first assignment to uncover some high ranking foremen in the mining city who were setting up illegal mining operations nearby to further fund themselves and supply weapons to local gangs. Peter first posed as a miner himself working his way up showing loyalty until he was eventually entrusted with delivering a wagon with weapons to a local gang, he would deliver the weapons then shortly after killing all the gang members leaving one alive to give him the names of the foremen who were running the operation to which the person would and Peter would have the foremen arrested with new ones in their place.

#### The Deadly Three

After many successful jobs like the Tallport job Peter was then reassigned to many railroad companies acting as protection for their western expansion to make the west very much like the east in terms of industrialisation, Peter originally was in charge of much of the security surrounding the railroads however eventually was assigned to tracking down the gangs staging train robberies to which Peter would again go undercover and would shortly after land in the small town of Jericho where he met William Green to whom he posed as a lone mercenary looking for work. Peter tried not to ask too many question to William as he knew that it would be stupid to and that William might get nervous and so would continue to do this work until he could find a group who were known for robberies. In the year 1888 Peter eventually met Martin Duke who was looking for a fourth member to do a city bank job with his son and friend, Peter had known about Martin as he, Emmet Duke and Abraham Keller were known outlaws that had robbed many trains over the years.

#### Botched Bank

Upon joining these three, Peter helped them devise a plan on how they were going to rob a city bank in the city of Bandera where Peter would distract the police whilst the three went in and robbed the bank, secretly Peter had stationed the police around the corner from the bank in hopes that they could kill or capture the three men quickly. The job however didn't exactly go to plan as Martin Duke was shot down and Abraham Keller was arrested leaving Emmet Duke to just slip out of his hands, after capturing Abraham, Peter would try to use him to lure out Emmet keeping him alive as long as possible but the plan never happened.

### Later Life

#### 1898

After his success with dealing two of the three members that were robbing the bank Peter was recognised by many people such as Clifton Shepherd who was a big railroad magnet that the government had loaned Peter to in hopes of stopping train robberies amongst other people invested within the railroad, Peter would then be sent back to the eastern part of the USA to report his success to his superiors. In the year of 1898 Peter would once again be called on by his superiors to finish the job by hunting down Emmet Duke as he had recently arose alongside Abraham Keller who had escaped jail with both men rebuilding their names in the west forming their own gangs and staging many successful robberies across the west, Peter would once again travel to the west but this time had found it much harder to track his men that he was after. No matter how hard he seemed to search it seemed as if both Emmet and Abraham were ghosts, Peter would manage to catch the tail of Abraham capturing one of his men and tracking them to one of their local encampments where he gunned down many of the men however still had not managed to track any more of them.

#### Just Too Late

After many months of tracking Abraham would be the first to mess up with Abraham starting another war with the Calderon Family due to Emmet now working for them they had turned their back on Keller's Gang, Peter would be sent to Bandera where he would eventually find Abraham with the little men he had left and would manage to arrest him again. Peter this time would oversee the hanging of Abraham Keller knowing that nothing would go wrong with him there, Peter would spot in the crowd Emmet Duke who despite the war with him and Abraham came to see him in his final moment to which both men would exchange looks of respect before he was hung until he was dead. After he had died Peter would immediately set the police on Emmet who had stationed some of his gang around the gallows who would help him escape out of Peter's grasp.

#### Betrayed

Many months would of passed for Peter hearing of Emmet's deeds and robberies he committed across the west and Peter would finally be able to track Emmet as he had lost a lot of his crew who had either passed or were arrested, Peter would of shot Emmet in the leg after a long chase and with the famed outlaw on the ground looking up to his demise a bullet would pass through Peter's chest to which he then dropped to the floor. Standing behind Peter was David Beck who had sought revenge on Peter for the amount of chaos and death he had caused to his deputies and sheriffs across the state of Weirdale and to the chaos he had caused across different states.
