In a world full of out-of-touch billionaires, Peter Pines is regarded as a wealthy gentleman who has reached the self-actualization stage, "The full realization of one's potential and of one's true self.".
Biography
Peter Pines is a multibillionaire businessman based in Los Santos, having inherited his fortune from his father in 1979. Unlike his predecessor, Pines possessed a sharp business mind. His more cooperative approach allowed him to triple his assets within 30 years. He further solidified his status as one of the city's most powerful figures through his philanthropy efforts, such as reviving the local economy after the 1992 riots and 1994 earthquake.
Behind the scene, Pines is also well-connected to "legitimate" players of Los Santos' underworld, such as Martin Madrazo and Tatsu Hsiang. He acts as their neutral mediator and money laundering facilitator to keep everything in order. He actively brokers ceasefires to prevent gang wars from causing costly property damages. His attempts tend to fail, but his firm position has earned the respects of the city's crime lords.
Despite his success, Pines is secretly a puppet of Lincoln Jones, the leader of NightHawk. Under threat of blackmail and coercion, he is forced to finance the international terrorist organization while maintaining the façade of a legitimate businessman.
