[Platypus]

Name: Peter Courtenay
Age: 47
Party: MSP
Address: East Stovesby, Isaactown Borough
Place of Birth: Preston
Occupation: Councillor, sometime G&TW Union apparatchik, summer Senior Stevedore.
Brief Bio: Born into a lower-middle class Catholic family in Preston, moved to Stovesby with his next door neighbour at 17 to work on the docks, living with his aunt and cousins. Quickly excelled in the GW&T Union thanks in part to his leading of a sit-in in 1933 that turned violent but gained better safety conditions at the docks. A weekly worshipper but not overly devout Catholic, he married Eileen O'Brien at 21 but lost his wife during the war in a bombing raid. He was not in Stovesby for the duration of the war, but does not talk about his war experience. He has no children. He won his first preselection as a candidate by beating an MSP stalwart, Jamie Jones, and is currently serving his second term as councillor. He lives alone in a modest but comfortable conjoined cottage near Connaght Town.
Other: He has a very even temperament, but when he does get passionate he can lose sense and get aggressive. He feels comfortable with his duel power bases in his ward but is frustrated by the broader MSP bureaucracy.
