Major Story Arcs

2025 Killer Tournament

Pete was recruited for a last man standing tournament of killers on Halloween. He was recruited by a wealthy family from Virginia, one of 13 families representing one of the original 13 colonies. The winning family gets to secretly control the country for the next five years, until the next tournament. He was assigned the weapon type, "Poison."

He came across the dead body of Leopold Strong, a fellow killer. He called it in to emergency services so he could hitch a ride on the ambulance to the hospital. He claimed the police had another call and asked him to stay behind and make sure the dead body was off the street before trick-or-treaters saw it. Once at the hospital, he started meticulously killing every person inside, until the two EMTs who brought him in found him. He managed to burn one of their faces with his poison, but while he was fighting the other, the burned EMT stuck Pete with his own needle.

Before he died, he racked up the most kills of the night so far for his patron family. They believed it would be a side-bet difficult to beat.
