Peter Summerfield

Peter Guy Summerfield (born 2601) was the son of Bernice Summerfield and Adrian Wall.

Birth and early childhood
Peter was conceived while Benny was possessed by the alien sorceress Avril Fenman, who seduced Benny's Killoran associate, Adrian Wall. (PROSE: The Squire's Crystal) Peter was born on the planet Deirbhile by Caesarean section because he was already too large to be delivered normally. Bernice was imprisoned there by the Fifth Axis. (PROSE: The Glass Prison) She gave him the middle name of Guy to honour Guy de Carnac, whom Benny once loved. (PROSE: Sanctuary) Peter's early years were traumatic, marked by wartime deprivations and enforced separation from his mother.

Teenage Years
As he grew into a teenager evidence began to mount that Peter was leaning towards more and more violent tenancies (AUDIO: The Grel Escape). The most extreme example was brought about when Braxiatel tricked Peter into murdering his stepfather Jason Kane. (AUDIO: The End of the World) Unsure whether Peter could even remember killing Jason, Bernice began to distrust Braxiatel and fled the collection with her son. (AUDIO: The Wake) She and Peter traveled together for a while until Bernice was forced to face up to Braxiatel. Peter nearly sacrificed himself to prevent the creation of the Deindum, and had he been able to go through with it they would have become a benevolent, perfect race. Instead they became aggressive and warlike and invaded the past to protect themselves. In the resultant conflict, Bernice was lost in the final strike against the Deindum and Peter was left abandoned as a slave on the Planet Bastion. (AUDIO: Resurrecting the Past)

There Peter fell in love with a fellow slave Antonio, although he was eventually rescued by Braxiatel who took him to Legion. Peter, who had always trusted his mother to save him, was distraught and turned against her. She eventually arrived on Legion, and Peter made it very clear he wanted nothing to do with her. (AUDIO: Paradise Frost) He carried on, believing that he and Antonio were in a stable relationship, although Jack and Ruth discovered that he was in fact deluding himself. Some time later, when he was finally confronted by this fact, Jack, Ruth and Braxiatel were stunned to discover Antonio was real. In fact, Antonio was Peter's mother, Avril Fenman, who was possessing the crystal moon that orbited Legion and had turned him against Bernice. Avril had returned to reclaim her son, although Peter eventually turned against her and killed Avril (and Antonio). (AUDIO: The Curse of Fenman)

Appearance
A human-Killoran hybrid, Peter looked like a blend of his parents' two species. The characteristic wolf/ape features of Killorans were present, but greatly softened. Like his Killoran father, he had fur, but much softer and finer. His physical strength, while perhaps not as great as a typical Killoran's, was still so great that he was stronger than all but the strongest humans by late childhood.
