Peter Culliford is the Executive Director of Pentex and one of the most influential members of the company.
Biography[]
Born during the sixteenth century, Culliford has retained the look of a sixty-year-old person, although how he achieved this or what Wyrm creature is responsible for that is unknown. In fact, he appears to be a reserved, grandfatherly sort of man, with impeccable clothes and distinguished silver hair.
Culliford is a cold, efficient customer; he learned diplomacy, politics, and the art of lying while in service to the medieval church. He runs Pentex the same way. Culliford's goal is to completely defile the earth and her inhabitants, paving the way for a new world controlled by Pentex and the Wyrm.
He appears to be a man in his 60s, but really is over 400 years old. Son of a poor knight, he entered the service of the medieval church. He first encountered his master, the Defiler Wyrm, during an exorcism. The Wyrm felt his potential for corruption and quickly turned the young mortal into its hand in the material world. He is very much a child of the Wyrm, for his service is fanatical. In all his efforts, he tries to bring misery and despair to the entire population of the planet. He has been very successful, but he has found it necessary to exist on a diet of human brains in order to stay alive. It is a terrible price the Wyrm has imposed, but it is a price that has helped to harden this man to anything good in life.
His enemies among the other Board members are Benjamin Rushing and Chase Lamont, although everyone fears him too much to provoke him too often.
