==History==
Brother of Eric Dresari, Duke of Kentares, Peter served as a [[colonel]] in the [[Fourth Davion Guards]]. In late [[3062]], during the [[FedCom Civil War]], after hearing about Steiner's taking of Kentares an killing of all the Dresari's members, Sir Peter became the leader of the anti-[[House Steiner|Steiner]] resistance forces that sought to free Kentares from the oppressive rule of Lord [[Marcus Roland]]. For that, he recruited his nephew, [[Ian Dresari]], the family's outcast, though also a war hero of [[Operation BULLDOG]].<ref name=MW4/>

===Kentares Campaign===
Peter led the limited forces under his command against Kentares' moon. There, paired with Ian two times, destroyed all Steiner's [[DropShip]]s, save for one, and the planetary [[HPG]], cuting all comms from the planet. He took a DropShip to drive off a Steiner's DropShip, landing on the artic of planet. Paired with [[Jules Gonzalez]], they recruited a group of technicians vital to control a satellite station, but while escorting the technician's convoy, a huge Steiner force threatened them.<ref name=MW4/>

Peter Dresari had split off to save the convoy, as described by Jules Gonzales: "Two Lances. The Colonel ordered me to head north with the convoy. He split off to try and pull 'em away. Sorry." If he had to single-handedly fight two lances, including Burke's Summoner, having never piloted anything heavier than a Hellspawn on Kentares' moon, it is clear why the colonel had little chance for survival or victory against such odds. Moreover, it is also known he ejected before Burke was "halfway through with him," leaving fewer odds for victory. Burke shot his escape pod, and then bragged about his easy victory and the execution of the defenseless colonel: "He and his escape pod are scattered over the better part of a kilometer. Messy."Sir Peter was killed in action fighting [[Duncan Burke]], one of Roland's henchmen. Command of the Kentares resistance passed on to Sir Peter's nephew, Ian Dresari. The enraged resistance survivors took the satellite station, and despite knowing he wasn't a leader as Peter, Ian led the resistance through the remainder of the campaign, eventually liberating Kentares.<ref name=MW4/>

During his first mission in game, he piloted a ''[[Cougar]]'', and in the next mission, a ''[[Hellspawn]]''. It is unknown if this mech was the one he commands during his last mission, but is highly probably: that may explain why Duncan Burke defeated and killed him so easily, as he had a Clan ''[[Summoner (Thor)|Summoner]]''.<ref name=MW4/>
