Peter Rumancek

superhuman strength and speed in wolf form;
partial transformation (can release individual features of the beast without changing the entire appearance);
heightened senses (especially smell);
prophetic visions (intersecting with Roman Godfrey's visions).

Key connections: best friend - Roman Godfrey (they share visions and investigations); complex, tragic relationship with Leta Godfrey; attachment to his mother, for whom he is willing to do anything.

Sarcastic, cynical, stubborn, yet capable of deep affection. He tries to be a "good guy," though the city sees him only as a threat. He's constantly conflicted within: the desire to remain human and the pressure of his animal nature. He's quite rude and aggressive.

He's about 178 cm tall, with tousled brown hair, blue eyes, a scruffy stubble, and long nails—all of which highlight his wild side. He looks like a guy who's used to being on guard.

Peter is a half-blood (half-Gypsy, half-Italian) werewolf and vargulf (a special type of werewolf that is at risk of permanently losing its humanity). He moved to Hemlock Grove with his mother, Linda, and lives in his late uncle's trailer.
