Biography: Born to the actuaries Jannet and Stephen Tomson, Peter grew up living a life that while relatively dull, was better off than most. For schooling, Peter attended Tribeca Prep, where he found his love for economics. He then went on to attend Manhattan University where he received his degree in business administration. Along the way, he often studied and wrote on the economic state of liberty, and came to the realization that Liberty’s working class, and in turn its overall economy did best when outside trade was kept to a minimum. Sure, it meant that goods weren’t the cheapest, but it ensured that almost every Libertonian had a job, and as a result, could buy goods and drive the Libertonian Economy forward. The best examples of this being times of war, when not only trade was limited, but demand was also bolstered by Liberty’s military-industrial complex, leading to him believing that war was not only beneficial for the working class, but necessary for Liberty to thrive. These economic theories of his drove him to be the man he is today: a staunch nationalist and war hawk.
Upon graduation from Manhattan University, Peter created a private security force, providing fighter escorts to shipping companies for profit. This continued for five years before he received an offer to sell the company for a great deal of credits. As he thought the offer was an over-value, he chose not to look the gift horse in the mouth and accepted the offer quickly, and took a long overdue vacation on Curacao.
Peter however still lusted for credits and found himself back to work, this time doing security for Universal Shipping, first by flying as an escort, and soon moving to management positions due to his extensive history and talent. Tomson quickly made his way to the position of Chief of Security, where he soon found that he had the power to enact his economic policy by simply stating something along the lines of “This contract that takes us to Kusari is too dangerous to be profitable.”
Opportunity continued to present itself with the opening of the position of CEO, which Peter quickly pounced upon. From there, he directed the company in a new direction, that while still completed contracts outside of liberty, also dug up old shady contacts with the intention of making his ideal Liberty a reality.
