Peter is frequently described as charming, charismatic, and seemingly benevolent on the surface. However, beneath his facade lies a sinister nature. He is known to make deals and manipulate others for his own gain. Peter is fiercely protective of his realm and will stop at nothing to maintain control and dominance over it.
As the King of Shadows, Peter commands an army of shadow demons and faerie warriors. He is feared by both the Shadowhunters and other faerie lords. His abilities include shapeshifting, teleportation, and the power to control the shadows. Peter is also skilled in combat, using his agility, strength, and mastery of dark magic to defeat his enemies.
Throughout the events of "The Dark Artifices," Peter's character undergoes significant development and transformation. His interactions with the Shadowhunters, particularly Emma Carstairs, reveal a more complex side to his personality. He forms unexpected alliances and faces challenges that test his loyalties and principles.
