Peter Summerfield

Peter Guy Summerfield (born 2600) 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. She gave him the middle name of Guy to honour Guy de Carnac, whom Benny once loved. (PROSE: The Glass Prison)

Peter's early years were traumatic, marked by wartime deprivations and enforced separation from his mother. (PROSE: Life During Wartime) After the Fifth Axis ocupation, Jason was looking after him he got hold of the time rings and started to take Jason, Benny, Joseph and Sophia through time. When the Time Rings malfunctioned it showed that he would grow up violent. (AUDIO: The Grel Escape) Peter was kidnapped by the Braxiatel Collection's own Clarissa Jones. (PROSE: Parallel Lives)

Teenage years
As he grew into a teenager, evidence began to mount that Peter was leaning towards more and more violent tendencies, which was foreseen in his youth. (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 travelled together for a while until Bernice was forced to face up to Braxiatel. (AUDIO: Secret Origins)

Peter aided his mother in her work and adventures. When they went to Maximediras, he travelled on the boat but became ill. When there was an attack of possessed people, he saved Rick Hertz, a colleague of Benny's, from being killed by using his aggression. (AUDIO: Beyond the Sea)

Benny was often worried about him. This was displayed by her feelings when Peter fell through time. He was also beginning to show some of his mother's traits by trying to work out what to do in the past and initially failing to find a solution. (AUDIO: The Adolescence of Time)

Whilst he was on the Depository, he spent his time initially being looked after by Mrs Tishpishti, the robot baker. Later he helped to discover how some worms became sentient, by feeding them Benny's Diary. (AUDIO: The Diet of Worms)

He found it interesting to find out that Adrian punched the clones of Braxiatel in Vingus Bank. (AUDIO: Glory Days)

Whilst on Absence, he wanted to help his mother and pay for their food. Benny was also worried when he was selected for an expedition into the centre of Absence. He spent a couple of days training in a biosuit before starting of the expedition. Cindy encouraged him to write a diary like his mother. He became paranoid that there was something living in depths of the planet. After people died on the expedition, he become nervous, and he wished that if he died he would have wanted to have his body taken back to Benny and not left there. He saw something walking through the night. He was attacked by the Technocult. He was left behind and nearly died. Cindy saved Peter and took him back to Benny. (AUDIO: Absence)

He spent his time on Earth cracking Braxiatel's logic puzzle. He was later kidnapped by Frost. (AUDIO: Venus Mantrap) Frost wanted Peter in order to get Benny to Buenos Aires. After being rescued he watched over Benny as she recuperated. (AUDIO: Secret Origins)

Peter and Adrian went after Benny on the planet Javarda when she went missing. He then went with Benny, Adrian and Bev to the Moon to find Robyn. Peter nearly sacrificed himself to prevent the creation of the Deindum. 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. (AUDIO: Resurrecting the Past)

He went with Benny to perform an archaeological dig on Deindus to find something to stop the Deindum War. They then travelled to the time in Deindus' history when the future Deindum contacted their ancestors. He stayed on the collection when Benny carried out her plans. Brax left him behind when he took Benny on the last assault. (AUDIO: Escaping the Future)

Peter was left abandoned as a slave on the planet Bastion. There Peter fell in love with a fellow slave Antonio Tulloch, (AUDIO: The Curse of Fenman) 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)

Peter was the security chief for Legion. He became annoyed when Benny, in a drunken stupor, embarrassed him with stories of his childhood. He also asked her to take a look at Vesuvius when it was crashing towards the planet. He wanted to stop a core breach that would destroy Legion City. Upon realising that a murder had taken place, he started investigating it. He didn't want more murderers on Legion. He questioned Rickard Karne about the murder. In the control cabin, he was electrocuted. He got Jack McSpringheel to destroy the ship. (AUDIO: Vesuvius Falling)

He wanted Benny and Ruth to leave when Ruth wanted to get to know him better. He wanted to know more about Ruth, as Antonio thought that there was something wrong with her. He didn't like Jack's interference as well, but eventually told him about the slave pit.(AUDIO: Everybody Loves Irving)

In a simulation from Benny's mind, Benny remembered the teaching programme that she programmed after Peter killed Jason. He complained about being kept inside, and had to meet a psychologist. He wanted jacket potatoes for tea. (AUDIO: Many Happy Returns)

He informed his mother, Ruth and Jack that they were employed on a mission that Braxiatel had obtained for them. He was delighted to find out that they were going to be away for a few weeks. (AUDIO: A Handful of Dust)

He later accompanied Benny and Jack to Mortis Dock, as people were disappearing from there without a trace, as they were the nearest thing to an authority in this part of space. He thought that there was something strange about the HMS Surprise, and wanted to investigate the ship. He told Jack more about Antonio about how they met in a slave pit. On the ship, he accessed the ship's black box and found more about its history. (AUDIO: HMS Surprise)

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 a fashion. He told Benny how he met Antonio on Bastion. 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). He became distraught once this happened and fell into his mother's arms. The two of them buried Antonio together. (AUDIO: The Curse of Fenman)

He went on a security mission to Morros Prime. He was asked to lead the security on one of Willem van der Heever's masquerades. He noticed that his mother rarely unpacks. He told Benny about the security system. He had to investigate a dead body in a swimming pool. He noticed a video of Willem's wife, Nexo and wanted to stop an attempted murder. His half Killoran DNA made him last longer than the other guests in the gas attack, but he eventually succumbed. After this Benny forgot about him. (AUDIO: The Revenant's Carnival)

He was removed from time by the Epoch and brainwashed to think he was an actor, called Thomas Grant, playing himself and a character called Finn who didn't know his parents. Benny managed to undo this brainwashing in order to defeat them. He then used the Epochs technology to find his long lost love, Antonio. (AUDIO: In Living Memory)

Peter found that Antonio was dead. He later met someone in a club on Bacchus Five. The relationship didn't last when Peter heard him mocking his Killoran-human physiology. Shortly after this he joined his mother when she investigated the Glamour, a device belonging to the Ancients of the Universe. (PROSE: Big Bang Generation)

Peter joined Benny on an expedition to her past. The time machine which they had taken from the Braxiatel Collection exploded and caused Peter to age. Benny hoped that returning to their time would undo this. (AUDIO: Ever After Happy)

He later got married, settling down for a new life. (AUDIO: The Pyramid of Sutekh)

Shortly after returning from a parallel universe, Peter's mother, Benny, remarked that he and his husband were happily married. (AUDIO: Dead and Breakfast)
