Peter Thornton

 

Peter Thronton is the main antagonist of season 2 of Dexter Early Cuts.

He was voiced by Jeff Skowron.

History
When Peter was young he was very disturbed and murdered his father in a "hunting accident". In college Peter became a graduate teaching assistant to Dr. Robert Milson. He learned that Milson was a serial killer and Peter became his protégé. Milson allowed Peter to watch him kill but never allowed him to actually kill people himself which angered Peter. Peter still had hope that he would be able to kill. When Milson was killed by Dexter, Peter secretly watched and copied Dexter's killing style. Peter stalked Dexter and when Dexter had found a new target Peter found her first and invited Dexter to watch him kill her with Dexter's killin style. When Dexter confronted him Peter wanted to learn from Dexter but he shut Peter out. Peter was angered by being denied and killed a security guard at the college campus, which caused Dexter to select him as his new target. Peter was invited by Dexter to a location. When he arrived Dexter attacked him, but Peter fought back but eventually was knocked out. Peter was then killed by Dexter with a saw and was buried in the woods.

Personality
Peter was very dark at a young age even killing his father. He always had an urge to kill and had no kind of code whatsoever. He was very impulsive and would probably not stop killing.

MO
Peter's MO was the same as Dexter's but the kills of his father and the security guard, he used different weapons such as a hunting rifle and a blunt force weapon.
