He is the most ruthless crime boss in Los Angeles, leader of the Valley Gang and a former Disney child star who played Peter Pan in the eponymous 1953 animated feature film as a child. After being cast out from the industry, Pete starts a toon trafficking operation in which he transforms toons into bootleg characters to make overseas bootleg films.
In his youth, Pete was given a break when given the role as Peter Pan, the Boy who never grew up, for the 1953 animated Peter Pan feature film. Things soon turned for the worst when he got old and was fired because of his aging. Despite losing his career, he began a new one in making bootleg films, including one of Peter Pan called "Flying Bedroom Boy", and became a rich and successful crime lord creating bootleg movies such as "Beauty and the Cursed Dog Man", "Spaghetti Dogs", "Jasper the Dead Ghost Kid" and "The Small Fish Lady". He kidnapped toons, including Monty (In which, at the end, it turns out they "Dumbo'd" Monty), to make his films if they don't pay him.
Appearance
Original
Pete is an overweight middle-aged man with hair on his chest and arms and a shadow beard. He wears Peter Pan clothing.
Bootleg
After his transformation, he had the head of a cat with his arms and legs in different forms and wears Mickey Mouse pants among other things.
Events
Sweet Pete had been behind a series of kidnappings of at least six toons when he sent Jimmy after them.
When Chip 'n Dale come to him in search of their friend Monty, he sends Jimmy after their heads only for them to escape into Sweet Pete's bathroom with Jimmy trying to bust the door open until Bob throws an axe to cut it down.
Sweet Pete trails Chip 'n Dale to a convention and sends his cronies after them.
Personality
Originally, he was a good kid who was happy to have the chance to be part of one of the greatest movies in history but became bitter at being dismissed for his age.
Sweet Pete is an individual who dictates who to store and who to toss out and will not hesitate to have anyone who knows this silenced. He also favors Alvin and the Chipmunks more than Chip 'n Dale.
Powers and Skills
When Sweet Pete is transformed into a hybrid between multiple characters, he gains Wreck-It Ralph's strength (for his left arm), the speed of a motorcycle (Optimus prime's leg), a cannon on his right arm (unknown at the moment), the chest from robin hood (fox), Woody's leg (toy story),the head of a kitten (it is not yet known if it is from the "Chip and Dale" series or if it is from "The Aristocats") and etc.

Trivia
This incarnation of Peter Pan's backstory parallels the tragic story of the late Bobby Driscoll, the voice actor for the character from the original Peter Pan Disney film. Bobby's career was dashed when he started getting too old to voice Peter and both his career and life took a downward spiral afterwards.
Consequently, despite the critical acclaim Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers has received, some have criticized the parallels between Sweet Pete's backstory and Bobby Driscoll's, feeling that it distastefully satirizes Driscoll's tragedy.
When Pete was chasing Chip and Dale, he was using the catchphrase Cuka-roo-ka-roo, a "bootleg" of his rooster crow from his original movie.
When Sweet Pete transforms into a bootlegged chimera, he resembles a combination of animated characters:
Head: A mix of Felicia from The Great Mouse Detective, Marie from The Aristocats, and Fat Cat from the Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers Cartoon.
Right Shoulder: 1987 Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987).
Left Arm: Wreck-It Ralph from the film of the same name.
Torso: Sweet Pete's regular torso.
Coat: Mixture of John Silver from Treasure Planet and Yokai from Big Hero 6.
Voice: Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians, Wreck-It Ralph, T-Rex from Jurassic Park, Shredder and Fat Cat.
It was confirmed in the official soundtrack that the bootlegged version of Sweet Pete was called Frankenpete, as the song plays when first seeing his transformation.
In one "blink-and-you-miss" scene of the film, it can be seen that Peter has a bottle filled with the Dip, the chemical invention Judge Doom uses in the classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit hybrid film to dissolve toons. Coupled with Roger Rabbit's cameo at the beginning of the film, this Easter egg has led some fans to speculate if Rescue Rangers takes place in the same universe as Roger Rabbit.
Originally, before the filmmakers settled on Sweet Pete, they considered the possibility of using Charlie Brown from the Peanuts franchise as the film's villain, depicting him as an adult just like Sweet Pete. However, they dropped the idea due to avoid having to pay for licensing the character. They later decided to make Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto the villain, given his past history as a victim of Chip and Dale in their classic shorts, with Pluto planning to become the "ultimate cartoon" by stealing the body parts of other toons after getting fed up of being forced to act like a dog. However, after some test screenings, it was decided to change Pluto with Peter Pan, leading to the creation of Sweet Pete.
That said, in the finished film it's never revealed why Sweet Pete does keep some toon body parts, like those of Monty, at his hideout. As this collection was originally a plot point back when Pluto was set to be the main antagonist, it's likely that Pluto was replaced with Sweet Pete too late into production.
