History: Peter hails from a village terrorized by drow. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Peter grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Peter. Days after completing his studies, news broke out that his hometown was attacked by drow. Peter was horrified and prayed that his mother was alright.
