Pieter is a Kindred with a bad reputation, and not only because of his clan (although that certainly doesn't help). Most people find him charming or at least entertaining, but he has a vague air of instability that never quite makes it easy to relax around him. He is attractive, although he doesn't put a lot of effort into maintaining his appearance, and prone to making friends and exchanging gossip with anyone interested in talking to him, often without letting on who he is or where he came from. His friendliness is viewed by some as a genuine attempt to turn over a new leaf, but far more Kindred consider him a liability just waiting to cause problems than a reformed character.

Mortal Life
Born during the early years of the twentieth century, Pieter grew up straight into the hardships of the Depression, and his midwestern family lost their farm and livelihood by the time he was twelve. Forced to leave in search of better pastures, Pieter traveled from Oklahoma upward into Kansas, losing some young and sickly siblings along the way, until the family's travels happened to cross paths with a traveling carnival headed east. Pieter and his father both did odd jobs for them, but when the family left, Pieter did not go with them; something about the carnival, and the very convincing strange powers its inhabitants seemed to possess, made him want to stay, a decision that altered his destiny permanently.
Dominic Vaughn, having noticed Pieter's thirst for knowledge, indulged him by making him a ghoul (and, unbeknownst to Pieter, conducting numerous experiments on his blood as a result). As Pieter slowly began to recognize that several of the carnival's attractions were not strictly human, he also began to fall in love with a fellow ghoul, a blind fortune-teller named Gabrielle Kalija who was in thrall to another of the Ravnos who managed the carnival, and didn't even mind being used for the occasional mad science experiment as long as he was able to be near her.
Embrace
When he was in his late twenties, Pieter discovered that Gabrielle was scheduled to be Embraced to become a full-blooded Ravnos in the next few years, as a reward for her many years of service with her mistress. Determined to remain with her, he distinguished himself as the carnival's ringmaster and asked (or demanded, more accurately) that Dominic Embrace him as well, so that he could be assured of spending eternity with her. Amused, Dominic granted his request, and Pieter became one of the Kindred, working diligently to learn as many of their powers and skills as possible to arm himself for the nights ahead. Dominic bloodbound him, of course, but this only made him want to impress his sire and earn the right to remain with the carnival (and Gabrielle) all the more.

Rumors of Sabbat Involvement
A few unremarkable years after settling down in Raleigh, North Carolina, things began to go poorly for Pieter. The local Camarilla rulers did not like the Ravnos encampment being so close to the city proper, and various incursions into their territory and petty crimes against them forced Pieter to become ever more vigilant against outside threats. It wasn't until a local Ventrue took a fancy to Gabrielle and then kidnapped and forcibly Embraced her that any of the city's leadership considered paying attention to their plight, and even then all Dominic was able to do was convince the Prince to officially declare the carnival as his Domain, enabling them to fight back if any intruder happened to enter it again. Gabrielle was returned to the carnival and allowed to live there with her former friends, but the damage was done; she was permanently Ventrue, and Pieter's simmering rage over this and the assault against her turned his easy-going nature into a sullen, trouble-making determination to make the Camarilla pay.
The final straw came when Dominic was executed, ostensibly for the crime of diablerie (although Pieter did not believe any such thing was true), and his new sister Maeve kidnapped by Octavius Sage. This reminder of the callous way the Camarilla was inclined to treat the Independent clans (and especially the Ravnos) tipped Pieter over the edge, and in his fury he sought out representatives of the local Sabbat packs and offered his services to them as an inside agent. He proceeded to feed the Sabbat information about Camarilla powers, forces, and strategies whenever he could find it for the next several months, until he was eventually caught by the surprise appearance of an anti-Sabbat war party arriving in the midst of a clandestine meeting.
Although he was scheduled for execution, Pieter managed to convince Prince Cyro that he had valuable insider information on the Sabbat to trade for his life, and furthermore that he had already alerted several Ravnos caravans in North Carolina to his plight who would invoke the Treatment if he were to be killed. The Prince agreed, but stipulated that Pieter still had to be made an example of, so he was banished from the city and all local Kindred were told that he had been executed, the better to prevent anyone else from attempting to turn trade for the Sabbat. To ensure that Pieter would not return, he was also told that Maeve had been killed by her new sire for attempting to escape, and Pieter departed, full of anger and sorrow.

Rescue of Maeve Glaistig
Embittered and self-destructive, Pieter became an itinerant traveler, abandoning the rest of his caravan to wander the United States alone for the next twenty years. He participated in a few wild Kindred parties here, killed a few mortals there, wandered the midwest of his childhood for a while, but had no real focus or drive until he passed through southern Illinois and managed, by chance, to catch some of the Kindred gossip coming out of Chicago. Realizing that Maeve was alive, he headed to the city to find her, but arrived too late; the Sabbat had officially conquered it, and Maeve was nowhere to be found.
After some detective work, Pieter eventually discovered that Maeve had gone to Europe with some of her Toreador clanmates, and learned from an extensive and exhausting network of ghoul communication that she was being held somewhere in Paris. Determined to reclaim the last member of his family, he braved the city in spite of its Prince's ban on Ravnos within city limits and eventually managed to find Octavius' crypt, where he woke her from torpor and convinced her to flee with him.
