"Justin" Peter Löwenbräu Griffin Sr., or best known as just Peter Griffin, is the titular anti-heroic protagonist of the adult animated comedy series Family Guy; he is the father of Chris Griffin, Stewie Griffin and Meg Griffin, biological father of Bertram Griffin, husband of Lois Griffin and friend and owner of Brian H. Griffin. He is a man in his early 40s who lives on 31 Spooner Street in the city of Quahog, Rhode Island.
While he is the protagonist, he's not as nice as most would like to imagine as he has caused others misfortune due to his stupidity but also deliberately to better himself which backfires leaving Peter stuck with the raw end of the deal. He's not alone in these respects as he has an evil brother named Thaddeus Griffin, a bullying older sister named Karen Griffin and an abusive fanatical stepfather named Francis Griffin suggesting antagonism runs in his family and helps explain the behavior of his children (although in fairness Peter does have caring moments despite the fact they are increasingly rare). He was originally presented as a morally ambiguous anti-hero, but later on in the series he was mostly presented as a protagonist villain and in some episodes an antagonist.
He is voiced by the series' creator Seth MacFarlane, who also voices Brian Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Glenn Quagmire, and Carter Pewterschmidt on Family Guy, and Roger Smith in American Dad!.

Appearance
Peter is an obese man, he has peach skin, short red-brown hair, green eyes (Blue in at least one episode) and a large cleft chin. He wears a white dress shirt with green pants, a black belt with a yellow buckle, white socks, brown shoes and glasses, which Peter claims to have come from a doctor Halloween costume in the episode Roasted Guy. He is 6 feet tall when compared to his wife Lois who is 5'8" according to her ID in Stewie's nightmare in the episode A Lot Going On Upstairs.
Personality
Peter is a lazy, obnoxious, foolish, rude, crude, moronic, arrogant, short-tempered, stubborn, ignorant, dimwitted, reckless, egotistical, and argumentative person who causes a great deal of harm and misery to those around him. Some of his more defining traits are his borderline alcoholism and drugging habits which tend to leave him in a state of incomprehension specifically regarding things like decency and safety measures and causing him to enter unrestrained stupors. Most of his time is spent getting wasted, going wherever and doing whatever he wants and costing thousands to millions of dollars in damage with his drunken or quasi-sober tomfoolery. He had also been willing to do more for his friends Glenn Quagmire, Joe Swanson and Cleveland Brown than his family as well.
Another example of his negative aspects was how terrible he was to Lois. Peter almost always took her for granted despite her being the daughter of billionaire Carter Pewterschmidt, very attractive and having the affections of others who were arguably better. There had been more than enough instances to show Peter was cheating such as when he admitted on live TV he knew the names of all pornographic stars and was openly shown to have attractions for or interests in other women and/or former sexual partners. Even Lois's terrible treatment of Peter does not fully justify the way he neglects her. He even had sex with her while she was disguised as another woman despite not knowing it was her.
He was also shown to be an absolutely manipulative, atrocious and cheating father figure by demeaning, degrading, demoralizing and downright abusing his family, especially Meg and Brian in particular; Peter actually left the former behind when she was in danger saying he and Lois decided if they needed to leave a child behind it would be Meg. Even back when he was a decent, yet misguided father, he showed no regard for Brian's feelings about not being seen as equal. Along with this he openly admitted he hated the kids simply because they did not do anything that he liked or were not entertaining to him. However, there have been moments where Peter is there for his family, having good times with them, getting laughs and taking them to places such as amusement parks or parties. More importantly, he was a much better father in the earlier episodes as mentioned below.
While early seasons depicted him as an oafish, but naive, silly, likable, and good-natured father who cares a lot about his family (one episode at the time involved him saying he'd take a bullet for Meg), this was not the case in later seasons as at the crunch, he became an unlikable, malicious, evil, psychopathic childlike jerk who helped others for personal gain, did illegal actions almost every time nowadays, abused his family (notably Meg and Brian), and is always excused for his actions as he's said to do that stuff out of idiocy, even though that's not true. In the cruel and bizarre world involving Family Guy every character has their share of maliciousness. However, Peter took the cake as the scenes where he was sympathetic paled in comparison to his nastiness. It's gotten to the point where critics and fans of the show outright hate him for his immoral actions and being a shell of his former, oafish but well-meaning self.
