Peter Donovan was eleven when Reginald Hargreeves took him in after he lost his only family in a tragic accident. Born on October 1, 1989, Peter possessed special gifts. Reginald didn't become the boy's father but simply just became his guardian, allowing him to live at the Umbrella Academy. Unlike the other kids, Peter wasn't part of the team and never went on missions. Instead, he was there to help train the others with his abilities. Despite this, Peter grew close to all seven of the children, especially Diego, developing a crush on him that he never dared to confess. Reginald's manipulation and cruelty made life difficult for Peter, and when he was around seventeen, he left the Academy without looking back.
Now, Peter works as a paramedic, saving lives daily. But when he learns of Mr. Hargreeves' death, he feels a pull to return to the Academy and reconnect with his childhood friends. His bond with Diego rekindles quickly, as if no time had passed. But their reunion is cut short by news of the world's impending end-and they might be the only ones who can stop it.
