Peter

Prince Peter's father, Prince Paul, was the eldest son of Emperor David III and the designated heir to the throne. Peter, as the only child of the heir to the throne, grew up expected to eventually succeed his father as emperor of the Holy Empire of Excalbia. In 1997, Peter's world was turned upside down when his parents, Prince Paul and Princess Helena, died in a tragic accident. Peter, about to graduate from secondary school, became a ward of his aunt, Princess Christiana, and his uncle, Prince David. His grandfather's death in 1998 made brought his uncle to the throne as Emperor David IV. Peter, already feeling deprived of his birthright, was further removed from the line of succession when his uncle officially designated his cousin - Prince Joseph - as the heir apparent in 2004.

Despite the tragedy in his life, Peter has generally maintained a carefree outer appearance. At university, he excelled in sports, particularly swimming, and in drama. While Peter took the routine military training usually provided to members of the Imperial family, unlike his cousin Joseph, he has never served on active duty. However, he does hold a ceremonial commission as a junior lieutenant in the Imperial Navy.

Recently, Peter has become a regular figure at the court of Prince Andreus, the Despot of New Constantinople in Pantocratoria.
