His parents died in 1927 when he was 7 years old between the two World Wars.

The Mentor adopted and helped Peter’s training so he could complete his parents’ work in the Brotherhood. The Mentor trained him in combat, stealth and use of both double hidden blades and phantom blade.

When he was finally skilled enough and did his first leap of faith, the Mentor gave him an Assassin Ring, symbol at that time of the membership inside the Brotherhood.

Peter then joined the Heloises, a group of two female Assassins who were spying and executing Templars in France shortly before World War II. They were called the Deadly Birds. Peter went from Novice to Assassin in 1938, when he shifted from the White robe to the Dark grey one.

In 1939, Peter became a Master Assassin, joined the resistance and left the Deadly Birds to focus on helping the Resistance.

At this time, he met and trained Pearl, a young orphan.

The Mentor was giving him mostly protection missions, and few assassinations, as he wanted the Nazi to focus on the Resistance and not the Assassins.

He became romantically involved with an Assassin helper.
