A convicted forger finally out of jail, Peter is barely adjusting to the real world. It doesn't help that he saw--and worse, heard--certain things while in prison, and is now assisting The Society of the White Rose. Perhaps assisting the Society in performing good and helping others will also help Peter become a better person. Or, maybe, he'll just go mad first.

History/Notes
 

Peter Curtain's first assignment from the Society involved travelling to rural Illinois. Meeting at the train station, he found himself travelling with Ryan Thorpe, an archeologist-adventurer from England, Jay Reeves, an English dandy, a mystic priest named Robert Gauss, and Laughing Moon, an Indian shaman. They ventured to a small town, to investigate strange happenings which worried a society member residing in the town. Though they themselves survived, and saved many people from a horrible fate, the were unable to save the person they were sent to help. By the end of the adventure, the stress and bizarre occurrences had permanently warped Peter's mind. He is now paranoid--literally.

Peter's second adventure found him unexpectedly drawn into an investigation in South Africa. Coincidentally, he ran into Jay Reeves again, who also took part in the case.

Called to Milwaukee by the Society, Peter found himself working with complete strangers on a very strange case. Only partially successful, the group nevertheless survived the odd goings-on in the Pabst mansion.
