Early Life
Peterson had your standard issue privileged life as an Alpha Dragoon in the Southern Reach. His family was wealthy, and Colin was noted as being a nice but spoiled child. He was best friends with future chieftain Jeremy Bloomer growing up, and the two entered the Academy at the same time.

Service to Alpha Clan
Upon graduating from the Academy, Peterson was assigned to the Intelligence Division of the Clan. There, due to his father's connections, he was given an easy but well-respected job in the division.

When Jeremy Bloomer was given command of Phoenix Squad, he initially wanted to recruit Peterson to the squad. Chieftain David Bloomer and other Alpha leaders advised against Jeremy against this, however, as to not appear to show favoritism. Peterson displayed annoyance with the decision, but later he revealed to Jeremy that he secretly didn't want to go into combat.

He in the Intelligence Division for years. When Jeremy Bloomer became Chieftain with the invasion looming on the horizon, Bloomer appointed Peterson to a top leadership in the Intelligence Division. This sparked even more criticism of Bloomer and gave birth to new criticism for Peterson. Peterson was very overwhelmed in the beginning, not initially comfortable with so much responsibility.

Warlords critical of Bloomer began focusing on Peterson, bullying him into accomplishing their own goals. When the Invasion Line is created, some of these warlords conspire to use nuclear weapons to break the deadlock. They pressure Peterson into helping them, making him agree to go on a mission to secure the weapons from a wealthy arms dealer. Despite his best efforts, insurgents discovered the plot and prevented Peterson from obtaining him. When the plot is revealed to Alpha leadership, Bloomer is forced to demote Peterson.
