Peter Port had been a Huntsman in his youth prior to becoming a professor at Beacon Academy. He was a Teacher's Assistant during Team STRQ's first year, indicating that he taught there for two decades prior to its fall. He has many stories of his glorious career as a Huntsman. In "The Badge and The Burden", he regales his class with an anecdote of how, when still a young man, he once captured a Beowolf and brought it back to his hometown alive, where he was praised as a hero. He also credits his grandfather with many wise sayings.
