* SuperLoser: Peter is a vampire who literally does work in a convenience store outside of New Detroit. He is not particularly sex, cool, or rich despite this being very common among vampires. No, it turns out that it is only common among ''old'' vampires who are willing to kill or abuse their powers to become rich in the first place. Sadly, Peter is of the FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire sort (unless you piss him off).

* BadassAbnormal: Was a Badass even before he became a vampire and is tougher than most of their kind.
* ButtMonkey: Just barely avoids being a Cosmic Chew Toy.
* TheBrute: Is generally viewed as this by other vampires depsite the fact he's more of a GentleGiant.
* DaddyIssues: A fairly mild case of them. His father abandoned his family but Thoth effectively stepped in to fulfill the role (bringing in a whole new set of them).
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Grew up in a very rough neighborhood, tried to get out through the army, killed his commanding officer in the Iraq War, and then became a vampire.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Is one of the more amiable vampires in the setting. Indeed, he tends to zig-zag between KnightInSourArmor and NiceGuy.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Sitting behind a counter trying to serve a racist woman impatient for her Slurpee and wondering how the hell he got to this point.
* FirstPersonSmartass: Is this from beginning to end.
* GenreSavvy: Tends to use vampire media to deal with the world around him, which other vampires find quite queer.
* KnightInSourArmor: Constantly grouses about everything he has to do for people but does it anyway.
* OnlySaneMan: Peter is one of the few vampires who, still, fundamentally thinks like a human being.
* TheLostLenore: His brother's death effects him this way.
* ShellShockedVeteran: A DownplayedTrope example even though he often thinks of the men he killed while alive.
* ScaryBlackMan: Apparently looks like one, which is ironic given he's the nicest vampire there is.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Has this with just about everyone he meets who can keep up with him.
* TookALevelInBadass: Gains quite a bit of power [[spoiler: When he kills Renaud and absorbs his strength.]]
* TokenHeroicOrc: Is probably the only vampire who isn't a scheming Machiavellian asshole and that includes his ReasonableAuthorityFigure creator.
* VegetarianVampire: Attempts this for years [[spoiler: after being kept in a basement until he was starving by the bellidix--who promptly shoved a little girl in there]]. He finally gives up during the events of the first book.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Possesses numerous "quirky" but not particularly useful-seeming abilities like floating, talking to animals, and [[spoiler: later, time manipulation]] which he puts to good use against much more powerful vampires.
