Biography	A sci-fi fan Peter got interested in the idea of combining technology with the human body. While at University he established a company looking at simple ways of augmenting the human body with technology, usually in the form of RDIF chips implanted under the skin. He was once arrested for performing the practice on a friend however police could find no law to charge him with other than carrying out an unlicenced cosmetic procedure which he was found not guilty of proving that the chips served no cosmetic purpose. He is the reason for changes to Bakkermayan law about minor surgery. As a result he has used himself as a test subject and has several augmentations including a RDIF chip for controlling several devices, an implant in his thumb that acts as a trigger lock on his personal firearms at home, a GPS system in his forearm. He is perhaps Mundus closest equivalent to a cyborg. He set up ZDS as a laptop company to look at ways of combining computing with what is known as "Biohacking" and has several of his company employees who have followed his example and have implants.
