Hemlock Grove Wiki; Wikipedia Plot Page.

Brief History: Peter was born to his mother, Lynda, and an unknown father. It can be assumed that his parents split up, leaving Lynda to raise the baby on her own. He was raised in the same manner as the rest of his family: a Gypsy (Romani). He led a somewhat normal life, and visited his grandfather, Nicolae, often. Upon Nicolae's death when Peter was nine years old, it was his responsibility to cut off his grandfather's head due to the fact that Nicolae had become a vargulf, a more insane version of a werewolf. While it is unknown if Peter was born a werewolf, or if he had to be given the bite, it is safe to assume the former instead of the latter.

Being a Gypsy meant that he was almost constantly moving around from place to place with Lynda, until he turned seventeen and moved into his Uncle Vince's old trailer in a town called Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania. Not long after moving there, he was quickly accused of not only being a werewolf (a rumor that had gotten started by him telling Christina Wendall that he was, due to her questioning the fact that his middle and index fingers where the same length), but also accused of murdering teenage girls.

Upon meeting Roman Godfrey, his sister Shelley, and their cousin, Letha, Peter became fast friends with them. But his and Roman's friendship took a rocky turn as he starts to date Letha. Eventually, however, the two make up and continue to investigate the murders. With Roman's help, he found the murderer - Christina, who turned out to be a vargulf. However, it was Shelley that showed up in time to save Peter's (who turned on a wrong moon in order to attempt to kill the vargulf), Roman's, and Letha's lives by killing Christina.

Shortly after Sheriff Sworn went after Shelley, Letha went into labor, and so he and Roman went to the Godfrey Institute to welcome the new baby into the world. But unfortunately, Letha didn't make it, and it was unknown if the baby did as well. Peter, feeling as if he didn't have anymore ties to the town, shaved his head and left with Lynda.

Personality: Being as how he doesn't stay in one place for more than a year, Peter is a mysterious person, and doesn't like to get close to others. He's also somewhat sarcastic, but also at the same time, has a sense of humor. Overall, though, he's a misunderstood person because of him being a Gypsy and going from place to place.

Strengths: Enchanced strength (when a wolf); turning (is able to turn into a wolf at will, but is at risk of becoming a vargulf); heightened senses (when a wolf).

Weaknesses: Wrong moon (turning); full moon; mortality; Roman Godfrey; Shelley Godfrey; Lynda; Destiny (his cousin).
