Peter

Peter Lowenbrau Griffin is a fictional character in the animated tv series Family Guy. Peter is the head of the Griffin family and the central character in the show. He is married to Lois, and is the father of Meg, Chris, Stewie and Bertram, although he and the family (with the exception of Stewie and possibly Brian) are unaware of Bertram's existence, because he was the result of one of several "donations" Peter made to a sperm bank. His best friend is his dog, Brian.

Peter Griffin was born in Quahog, Rhode Island, to Francis and Thelma Griffin. He was baptized in the Roman Catholic faith as a baby much to his pious father's chagrin and resentment .According to Peter's doctor, Peter is a Cancer; he was born in July between July 1 and July 22. He was a member of the folk-singing group Simon & Garfunkel, where he pitched ideas for "Here's To You Mrs. Fleckenstein" and "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Lawry's Seasoning Salt". When Simon & Garfunkel turned down these ideas, he said "Screw you guys, I'm goin' to 'Nam". Shortly after, it appeared Peter really did go to Vietnam, though dressed as a clown because "they're gonna be looking for Army guys."

Peter worked at the Pawtucket Patriot brewery, during which time he drank himself into a stupor in his first five minutes of work. However, in an earlier episode, "Wasted Talent", the brewery was presented as a 'Willy Wonka'-type factory, complete with 'Oompa Loompas' (called 'Chumba Wumbas' in this episode). In the episode "Wasted Talent" the brewery had restricted access, and Peter was thrown out. This is explained by the line, "Wow, this place sure has changed since Pawtucket Pat sold it."
