STATUS Unclear – last confirmed alongside Dr Griffiths
SECTION Formerly held at Get Stuffed; Dr Griffiths’ own brother
FIRST ON RECORD Session 28 – found behind bars, delighted to see Mikael alive

Pitr first turned up as a prisoner – one more cell in Griffiths’ basement, cracking his own window in delight at the sight of a fellow captive still breathing. It didn’t take long for that story to stop adding up. By the time the Agents crossed paths with him again, he was working alongside Griffiths rather than against him, and it became clear he could look like almost anyone he chose to. It became clearer still, once the shouting started, exactly why Griffiths kept him close: “Leave my brother alone, you bitch,” Pitr screamed at Raven mid-fight, and Griffiths’ own panicked orders to him – barked by name, no pretence left in them – confirmed the rest.

Around Get Stuffed he went by “Dr Piter” – spiked bob, chapped and constantly bitten lips, a habit of putting things in his mouth that ranged from surgical instruments to, by his own suggestion, an Agent’s fist, and a verbal tic that ended most sentences in a shrieked “HaHAA!” Griffiths’ own pet name for him, spat out mid-crisis, was considerably less fond: Crawny Fish.

FILE NOTES

In one encounter he was “discovered” helping a frightened girl to safety in a nurse’s uniform, humming to calm her, a beautiful stranger with nothing to hide. That wasn’t a separate incident – it was Pitr’s own way out of the raid on Get Stuffed, shapeshifted into someone the Agents had no reason to stop at the door. In another, at the Regent Theatre, he was hauling an unconscious Vessentaag toward a getaway with Griffiths, taking a thunderstone blast to the skull for his trouble.

Whether Pitr was ever truly a prisoner, or always exactly where his brother needed him, is still an open question – blood alone doesn’t settle whether he was complicit in what Get Stuffed actually was, or simply another one of Griffiths’ subjects who never fully escaped him. The last confirmed sighting has him at Griffiths’ side as something enormous and tentacled pulled them both from the burning theatre and into the canal. Neither has surfaced since.

“I am beautiful, no matter what they say…”

STATUS: Filed under The Unknown. Victim, accomplice, or something that stopped being either a long time ago – the file can’t settle on one, and neither, it seems, can he.
