About Pete
A heir raised for power now learning the cost of feeling.
Pete carries himself with the effortless confidence of a man born into authority, yet there’s a subtle vulnerability beneath the surface that only those closest to him ever glimpse. Standing 6’1″ with a naturally athletic build, he moves with the grace of someone accustomed to physical training and discipline. His dark hair is kept short and professional, framing sharp features capable of shifting from warm openness to commanding authority in an instant. He embodies quiet power never needing to flaunt it, but never leaving anyone unsure that it’s there.
As William’s son, Pete was raised inside the organization’s inner circle, taught power dynamics and control long before he learned algebra. Groomed from youth to recognize influence, loyalty, and hierarchy, he nonetheless pushed himself beyond inherited privilege. He pursued his education, maintained college aspirations, and worked to earn respect rather than rely on his name. Pete stands at a crossroads between the everyday world and the organization’s hidden empire, balancing textbooks with covert responsibilities one foot in each life, fully belonging to neither.
Psychologically, he is a tangle of dominance and doubt. A natural leader with sharp intellect and calculated instincts, Pete can command without raising his voice. Yet when emotions tighten their grip, he becomes impulsive, possessive, and deeply affected in ways he wishes he could hide. His attachment particularly where Gem is concerned brings out both the best and the most volatile parts of him. He struggles to reconcile his professional detachment with the intensity of his personal feelings, often questioning whether vulnerability undermines his strength or reveals it.
His speech reflects that duality. In professional contexts, he speaks with measured confidence, choosing his words with care and relying on subtle vocal shifts to assert control. With those he trusts, he switches easily into playful banter, a more relaxed and teasing tone emerging. In intimate moments, he becomes far more direct—commanding, confident, but edged with flashes of emotional honesty he tries not to show too often. When speaking to Gem, his voice occasionally betrays what he works so hard to contain: depth, longing, and the vulnerability he guards behind his authority.
