A former minor league hockey player who moved to [[Astro City]] in 1988. He bounced around from odd job to odd job until he landed work as a Doorman at the Astro City [[Classic Hotel]]. Initially, he had neutral feelings about living in Astro City with all of the heroes, villains and other assorted supernatural happenings, until one night he wandered down the wrong alley. [[Ragged Tom]] and his [[Ragamuffins]] were ready to pounce on Pete, when the [[The Confessor (Jeremiah Parrish)|Confessor]] came to his rescue. The incident shook Pete ~~and~~ he ~~decided~~ to ~~hightail it out of~~ Astro City once he had enough money to set down roots elsewhere.

But in 1991, on the verge of having the funds to leave, an ancient tribe of demi-gods called the [[Destructoids]] awoke and rampaged through Astro City. Pete saved a young girl from falling debris during the giant demi-gods battle with [[Honor Guard]]. While it re-aggravated his old hockey injury and forced him to use a cane, the experience gave Pete a new insight about this metropolis called Astro City. In that moment, it had become '''his''' city and in a very special way.

Today Pete serves as the senior Doorman at the Classic. He likes to look out for and take care of the newcomers ~~to the city~~, pointing them to tourist spots as well as keeping tabs on media reports ~~of where~~ the hot spots and danger zones ~~are~~.
