-->'''Played by:''' Craig Parkinson

* MadScientist: [[spoiler: Some routes show him conducting the PACS (Program and Control Studies) using a child Stefan as the test subject]]. Although if it's real or just part of [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Stefan's delusions]] is left ambiguous.

* StandardFiftiesFather: Although set in England in the 1980s, Peter fulfills most of these tropes -- being cold to his son and enforcing gender stereotypes, not liking the introduction of technology. [[spoiler:Except in the paths where he's not Stefan's father, of course.]]

* OverprotectiveDad: Actually averted (probably). Peter is very protective of Stefan but, unless you go down the conspiracy route, he's ''completely'' right that Stefan is unstable and needs psychiatric help. The only way to avoid tragedy is to follow his advice.

* AmbiguousDisorder: He clearly has some kind of mental disturbance, but its never made clear if it's an anxiety spectrum disorder (like OCD, paranoia) or if it's a personality disorder. This is because there's so much to it he has some illness that is almost specific to his situation and which can definitely be made worse by all the viewer's actions - and because it's slightly different in its appearance for each path you can take. Because you're probably meant to make it worse, it's tailored for the place Stefan's in.

* ItsAllAboutMe: During some endings, he seems far more concerned that [[spoiler:his company is going out of business than the fact someone (Stefan's dad) got brutally murdered]]. In another ending, he's just as blasé about [[spoiler:Colin being murdered too]], calling him lucky for [[SkewedPriorities not going out of business instead.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: During some endings, he seems far more concerned that [[spoiler:his company is going out of business than the fact someone (Stefan's dad) got brutally murdered]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has bright orange hair, and according to Mohan used to have blue hair.

* AffluentAscetic: Despite being a famous game designer who according to Mohan "made enough money this year to buy a Lamborghini", he still lives fairly modestly. His apartment is even shown to be in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trellick_Tower Trellick Tower]], which at the time was one of London's most infamously crime-ridden social housing complexes.

* SanitySlippage: Implied to be due to a pre-existing mental condition and LSD usage, a la Music/SydBarrett or Music/BrianWilson. Unlike them, however, he went ''violently''insane.

* PetTheDog: When Stefan didn’t have enough time to finish Bandersnatch, he was understandable pissed, but he does give Stefan a bit more time to finish the game.

* AmbiguousDisorder: He clearly has some kind of mental disturbance, but its never made clear if it's an anxiety spectrum disorder (like OCD, paranoia) or if it's a personality disorder. This is because there's so much to it he has some illness that is almost specific to his situation and which can definitely be made worse by all the viewer's actions - and because it's slightly different in its appearance for each path you can take. Because you're probably meant to make it worse, its tailored for the place Stefan's in.
