PETER

Peter Donnelly has spent nearly his entire life in New York City, and for much of it in the shadow of his father. Such is the case when you follow in his footsteps of a career, becoming a lawyer just as Jackson Donnelly had done decades earlier. Thanks to victories in several high-profile cases the Donnelly name became well known in legal circles, and as the family’s wealth increased the pre-determined course of Peter’s life did so as well. He was groomed from early on to look towards a career in law as well, after years in the finest of private schools. Everything he did was meant to add to his father’s legacy, to cement the Donnellys as a bonafide dynasty. Harvard Law School came next, and it was clear that Peter indeed had an aptitude for law. It didn’t take long after graduation to land with one of the top firms in New York, with offers coming from all over attempting to land the son of the city legend. For some, having little choice as to a career might doom them. For Peter it was a welcome challenge. He enjoyed practicing law, and the idea of being able to help people was really what fueled him. Coaching from early on to not let his emotions get the better of him, Peter has a poker face that can rival the best of them and some have accused him of being too aloof or detached. What they don’t know is that couldn’t be further from the truth. Peter has simply gotten very good at hiding his emotions and what it is that really drives him. When Peter was back home during the summer before his final year at Harvard, he discovered a letter written by his mother but never mailed, to a man he’d never heard of. The letter went into detail about a past relationship his mother had with the man, and the most stunning part of it all… Jackson Donnelly was not his father. Upon confronting his mother about this Peter had it confirmed, she’d had an affair years earlier with a man named Jason Winslet; Peter’s father had been too wrapped up in his career to even notice and not one to show much affection even when he was around. The torrid affair had come to an end when Jackson learned of it, and threatening to bankrupt and sue Winslet he was able to blackmail Peter’s mother Mary into ending things. The dalliance had however resulted in Peter being born, but she’d been able to convince Jackson that he was in fact Peter’s true father. Unable to put this out of his mind, Peter was determined to find and meet this man, if even just to know what kind of a man he was. Once he’d graduated he managed to use his career connections to eventually discover that his real father still lived in New York, and had after years of working as a maintenance man at an apartment building in the East Village actually bought it. Eventually, after coming up with excuses to meet the man Peter revealed who he was to his real father. Their relationship had to be kept a secret in order to keep Jackson from seeking vengeance, but the more time Peter spent with his father the more he admired him for how he lived his life. Truthful, honest, always willing to help people in need. Taking those qualities and doing his best to incorporate them into his law career, getting to have this relationship helped to keep him balanced. That was, until Winslet passed away suddenly about six months ago. Peter was shattered, but had to keep his grief under wraps. The building his father had taken care of had been sold, and that’s when he made the decision to honor the man by applying to be the on-call maintenance man. It’s a way to stay connected to the father he couldn’t publicly acknowledge, even if it doesn’t make any sense to the outside world.
