Appearance
Pierce has short white hair, blue eyes, and light skin. He wears a black suit over a white button-up shirt and black vest, a gold handkerchief, and a gold necktie.

Personality
Like his family, Pierce cares more about their reputation than the wellbeing of others, including his son's fiancée Kate, whom he looks down upon for being beneath him in social standing. He is very influential given that he has an unnamed judge, the Police chief, and the District Attorney as allies.

Margaret Sterling
Margaret is his wife.

Tanner Sterling
Tanner is his eldest son.

Bryce Sterling
Bryce is his second son.

Your Character
Pierce initially comes off as cold to your character when you ask him about Kate's disappearence. He later sends Bryce to pick you up outside the Police station. He informs you that he only views you as Birchport's guest and believes that you shouldn't be investigating his family. In Chapter 9, Pierce declares you an enemy, believing that you assisted Kate in murdering Tanner.
