Biography

---

Pete was a techie in Night City until he made a lot of enemies and had to hide. He found shelter in the Badlands, fixing vehicles for the Wraiths. When V finds him in the basement of his garage, he begs to be spared and offers money in return.

Before the Badlands, Pete was a techie in Night City. He is no nice guy, and he soon made powerful enemies. In the Badlands he fixes up cars for the Wraiths, and his reputation reaches far: a mechanic in the Longshore Stacks remembers him as the man who got past all of a MaxTac turret's safeguards.

His messages with his younger brother, Tiny Mike, are mostly about money. Mike keeps asking for loans "for an investment", and Pete keeps reminding him that he still owes from the last time.
