Peter Graves

Peter, a character in The Heist: Monaco book, is a potential member of your crew. He is first seen in Chapter 6.

Appearance
Peter has brown eyes, short black hair which he keeps neatly combed and parted from the left, and a fair-to-olive complexion. He keeps his face clean-shaven. He wears a dark grey dress shirt with floral design, a dark space-blue blazer with currant-red handkerchief, and black slacks held by a black belt with silver buckle.

Personality
He has been told that he lights up the room with his infectious personality. Whether or not that is true is to be determined, as Eris has mentioned that he goes full Method when he acts. He is ambitious, focused on his goal in life; he knows exactly which director he'll work for, exactly what kind of car he'll drive, and exactly which neighborhood he'll live in. He plans to take the shortest path to get there, even if it means a life of pulling cons. He always takes the most direct route, even if it's the most dangerous. His philosophy in life is "all or nothing."

Your Character
You can choose to recruit either Miranda Moreau or Peter to act as your crew's grifter. Eris tells you that he once ran a Morocco Switch and got two FBI agents to arrest each other in El Paso, Texas. In Chapter 8, you have the option of running a quick street con with him, where he says the Number One rule of the stage is to practice, practice, practice. He tells you that everyone has a tell, and when you play Texas Hold'em against Ulrich, he tells you that Ulrich's tell is the vein in his throat. In Chapter 14, it is the moment of truth and you ask him if he trusts you. If he does (if your grifter trust is high enough), he tells you that he loves you, which stuns you, but then he adds, "Aaand scene! Seriously, though. You're aces, kid. 'Course I trust you."

Lena Ortiz
If you choose Lena as your muscle, he flirts with her in Chapter 6 when he joins your crew. She tells him she's there to keep him alive, and as practice with her is usually violent, he backs away. In Chapter 15, when you, Rye, and both of them try to escape, he tells Lena that he was born for action and she tells him she thought he'd run away screaming from a fight. However, when more guards show up, he hides behind her, saying he didn't think there'd be that many of them. During the fight, he trips over a guard's leg, windmills his arms in a dramatic flail, and accidentally punches and knocks a guard out cold.

Mervin Kalani
If Mervin "Jones" Kalani is your muscle, the two men exchange headshots when they first meet in Chapter 6. In Chapter 15, Peter will tell you, Rye and Jones that he can fight the guards. However, the moment they appear he says he didn't mean right now and hides behind Jones. During the fight, he trips over a guard's leg, windmills his arms in a dramatic flail, and accidentally punches and knocks a guard out cold.

Fabien Ahmad
If Fabien is your driver, they work together with you in Chapter 12 when you meet Tristan Dumont for the first time. Although Peter doesn't accompany you both to the actual race, he tells Fabien that they are a lot alike. They're both incredibly handsome, strive to be the best in everything they do, and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals... "Even if it means burning your old life to the ground, eliminating your rival, and becoming the new 'Peter Graves' in his stead!" The last part stuns Fabien but Peter says it's a joke, old grifter humor.

Samira Yazdi
If Samira Yazdi is your hacker, she tells him she'll break his fingers if he breaks her computers.
