Born in St Petersburg, just in time for the great famine in the surrounding towns and countryside. Graduated from Kazan University's faculty of law and got himself into law practice JUST as things got a little revolutionary. Pyotr tried a number of business ventures in his travels but with the sheer number of "emigres" it was getting harder by the day to find a way to do business.
He threw his lot in with Brady's band of hopefuls but his main hope was to find a way out of China and to somewhere he could earn a living. And if it's an honest living, all well and good. If not, well, it's a living.
Pyotr recently passed the Bar Examination in Melbourne, and hopes this will lead to better (and more lucrative) things now he and the investigators are back in the U.S.A.
He has now opened a lawyer's office in Boston's Chinatown under the name Peter Snetkov.
