===Early Career===
Peter Cobb developed a deep interest in reading military history while he was a colt in ''sibko'' training. Thanks to one of his instructors, a grizzled veteran named ''Uri'', Peter was given access to books not usually made available to colts. Peter quickly became an expert on military history and clan rede,and soon began writing essays about what he had read. His knowledge of military history also made him an outstanding warrior. In his [[Trial of Position]], he made two kills, graduating as a [[Star Commander]]. After reading reports about the [[Mongol Doctrine]] and the [[Golden Ordun]], he became horrified by [[Malvina Hazen]]'s actions and his clan's participation in her campaigns, so began writing works condemning them. This drew the ire of many warriors in his clan including both of the Horses' Khans: [[Fulk Lassenerra]], [[SaKhan of Clan Hell's Horses|SaKhan]] and [[Gottfried Amirault]]. Despite senior Horses' officers efforts to clamp down Cobb's writings, they were widely distributed, generating debate and discussion within the clan.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'' ch. 1</ref>

Peter Cobb, since he was a colt in ''sibko'' training, developed a deep interest in reading military history. Thanks to one of his instructors, a grizzled veteran named ''Uri'', which fed his interest, giving him access to books not available to him, became an expert, and began writing essays about what he had read. His knowledge of military history made him an outstanding warrior. In his [[Trial of Position]], he made two kills, graduating himself as a [[Star Commander]]. After reading reports about the [[Mongol Doctrine]] and the [[Golden Ordun]], he became horrified by [[Malvina Hazen]]'s acts and his clan's participation in her campaigns, so began writing works condemning them, specially both Horses' Khans: [[Fulk Lassenerra]], [[SaKhan of Clan Hell's Horses|SaKhan]] and [[Gottfried Amirault]]. Despite senior Horses' officers efforts to clamp down their writings, they were widely distributed, generating debate on his clan.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'' ch. 1</ref>

Peter's words became much more known after he became a protégé of [[Loremaster of Clan Hell's Horses|Loremaster]] [[Sachiko Ravenwater]]. Unknown to Peter, she had seen his potential years before and began helping his career, giving him an opportunity to participate into a [[Branding Ritual]]. There, he convinced his group to follow his plan, capturing and branding a [[Hell's Horse (species)]] mare, an extremely honorable and difficult feat for a warrior of the clan. Ten months later, a [[Cobb (Bloodname)]] became available, and Sachiko convinced Star Colonel [[Elliot Cobb]] to sponsor Peter for the [[Trial of Bloodright]]. In those trials, Peter won his Bloodname, defeating opponents both unaugmented and augmented without ever killing one. Around [[3148]], Sachiko requested for him to command Kol [[Trinary]], of the [[1st Horde (Clan Hell's Horses)|First Horde Cluster]], promoting him to Star Captain.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'' ch. 2</ref>

At an unknown date, Peter was surprised to see a ''trueborn'' officer named [[Vashin]], who was beating his tech, Thomas, so he intervened. Peter stopped the beating and later fought and won a Trial of Possession for Thomas, and made Thomas his chief tech and demonstrated his respect for lower castes.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'' ch. 8</ref>

In [[3150]], Clan Hell's Horses was ''de facto'' divided in two factions between both Khans, and then, thanks to Sachiko's participation, Peter's writings, which Sachiko made circulate of his speeches among the freeborn and non-[[Bloodname|Bloodnamed]] warriors,<ref name=TRp84>''Tamar Rising'', p. 84</ref> including the freeborn warriors of the First Horde Cluster, which was otherwise seen as the Khan's strongest base of support.<ref name=TRp86>''Tamar Rising'', p. 86</ref>, he became even more popular... which generated very often [[Trial of Grievance]] in which other warriors, instilled by their superiors, fought him, intending to silence him, but always in vain, as he always won them. On [[Cusset]], the 10 May, he defeated another opponent, Star Captain [[Marco Amirault]], later having a meeting with Sachiko.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'' ch. 1</ref>

The next day, Peter traveled to Greyrock detention facility on [[Cusset]] , where he meet [[Ziven (Clan Hell's Horses)]] and recruited a [[Lyran Commonwealth]] ''bondswomen'', [[Laila Renwich]], to make her train an unofficial a recon unit / intelligence force for the Horses.

The 21 September, he travelled to [[Csesztreg]], the Horses' capital, with Sachiko, to assist at a Bloodnamed officers gathering. She interrupted an argument between both Horses' Khans, and demanded Peter to participate in the preparation of the imminent [[Operation STAMPEDE]], to which the Khans reluctantly agreed. Peter had later a private meeting with the Star Colonel [[Lucian Camejo]], which was another of his followers, debating their Clan's future. At another meeting, two days later, Cobb pointed several mistakes from the logistical part of Stampede, and also said how to counter them. The same day, the SaKhan had a private meeting with Peter, attempting to recruit him for his cause, but he didn't agree.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'' ch. 7-9</ref>
