Dear Guests, this Page is currently undergoing realization. Please bear with us as we fully realize the Page of Pete!

“	You know my dream, right? To become one of the Fingers of the Backstreets.	”
–Pete

Pete (피트, Piteu) is a Rat who appears in the same Chapter, Episode 1. He acts as the leader of his own group of Rats, with Lenny and Mang-chi.

Appearance

He has ruff dark hair, dark skin, and black eyes. He wears a gray jacket with white fur around the neck, a collar of beads around his neck, a tainted green shirt with white words on it spelling 'Rock Festiv-' being cut out, blue pants with various red belts, and white shoes. In combat, he wields an army/combat knife.

Personality

Pete is gruff and the most foul-mouthed of the trio of his group. He isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and do anything possible to chase his dream of becoming one of the Fingers.

A risk-taker, he tries to use all the options available for obtaining a good payment, climb higher the positions, and join a better Syndicate. He is aware of the many rumors of the Backstreets and can spot when things are very uncommon to just be actions of other groups.

Story

Pete has been part of the Rats for an unknown amount of time, working in gut-harvestings with his members of the group, Lenny and Mang-chi.

Pete has a dream of becoming part of one of the Fingers of the City, the Syndicates that rule the Backstreets. Although he is aware that having a silly dream will probably do nothing with his petty skills, he desires to have one anyway.

He seems that has convinced Mang-chi and Lenny in helping him to reach that dream, with Mang-chi being the most willing to help him. However, they still face the reality of having to work to pay their debts to other Syndicates and avoid the Offices and Associations that guard certain areas.

During a gut-harvesting, Pete, Lenny, and Mang-chi were almost caught by the Zwei Association. Forcing Lenny to take out the organs of a harvested body, they manage to escape before the Association members arrive. Back in their hideout, Pete and the others check the guts of the harvested body, thinking that once they sell them and pay the Stray Dogs, they will finally join an Urban-Legend Syndicate. But soon Pete points out that the organs are very damaged to be sold for any profit, something that Lenny tried to tell him. Mang-chi says that there a tattoo of an orange round symbol on the back of its neck, which were of something that they haven't heard of yet, and with the time they have, there wouldn't be enough for another gut-harvesting trip.

Lenny presents the Invitation that she found inside the body to Pete and then after knowing of the Library, they decide to continue there, because else the Stray Dogs or the Zwei who seems to still be in their pursuit will kill them anyway. All the members sign the envelope and then are transported to the Library. Pete remarks how the Library is fancier than he expected, and soon they are greeted by Angela. Pete asks if they really can take any of the Books, which Angela replies that they must 'gain' them. Mang-chi hesitates, doubting at the worth of the Books, but Pete tells them that beggars can't be choosers and need to take this opportunity.

Eventually, Pete along the rest of the Rats dies in the Reception.

Key Page story

Pete’s Page

There’s not a lot of peeps who hang around in the Backstreets alone. It’s cuz that’s just madness. Weak and dowdy folks gotta band together to survive. Get into a small Syndicate or anything and make a living somehow. Some ignorant fool makes a scene in the Backstreets on their own, they’re just making themselves a target as soon as others notice they’re alone. That’s why we move in groups. We’re called Rats for a reason. We crawl about the dark in packs, and jump at prey for the chance to bite ‘em apart when we spot one. So, you wondering if we Rats have any dreams? Hmm… I guess belonging to a proper Syndicate, if any. We’re just too tacky and amateurish to be called one. We hate being bound to rules, so hell’ll freeze over before one of us joins an Office, and no Rat I know would move to an examinee town and study for Wing entrance exams. Those nerds at examinee towns ain’t too different from Rats like us. We’re all dreaming silly dreams that’ll never come true with our petty skills. An Office, a Wing, a Syndicate, or whatever… Think it’s an easy task to belong to a decent group? People just accept what they got and live on. But still, I wanted to have a dream.

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance Think I can’t beat a bunch of dweebs? Don’t go easy on us, cause we won’t. We ain’t scared of you wimps. Victory Cry I could aim for Syndicates even bigger than the Stray Dogs if we keep this up! This was pretty much a free win for us! Death …Damn it all. The dream… it’s still so far away… Guess I was just a fool who dreamed too big… On Ally Death You were supposed to fight with me till the end! Why’d you have to be so weak? …Damn you. Dammit… This is too unfair for us! On Kill Just as weak as I thought. Beating you chumps should be a piece of cake for a budding Finger like me. I ain’t just a reckless thug. I got brains too, ya see?
