## Snapshot

The dusky Ripton boxing champion whose reputation alone is enough to make Stanning fake an injury rather than face him at Aldershot.

## Who they are

Known as Peteiro, he is the punishing Ripton fighter who once left Drummond limping and battered after the Featherweights. His feared name resurfaces in the Field's match report, quietly wrecking Stanning's plans and reshaping the school's boxing fortunes. He never needs to appear in person: the dread he inspires exposes who is brave and who is merely cunning.
