Peter

Also known as Peter the valet

  • Minor
  • First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 40

Peter is a quiet working presence in Prince Andrew’s household, more often seen attending to practical needs than drawing attention to himself. He seems alert and capable, the sort of servant who is ready before anyone thinks to ask.

Peter serves Prince Andrew as a valet and footman, appearing at different moments in the household’s travels and private emergencies. He sits with the carriage party and later stays awake to rouse the doctor and pour water over the doctor’s hands. The text gives him no broader personal history, but his steady attentiveness defines his brief appearances.

Description

Peter is identified as Prince Andrew’s valet and footman, but the text gives no physical description. His age, height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, and facial features are unspecified. No particular uniform or other clothing is described, so his appearance should remain visually undetermined beyond his household-servant role.
