Black Peter (Czech: Černý Petr) is a minor character in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. He was a fighter who competed in the Rattay Tourney, defeating all challengers for years, until he was defeated by Svatopluk.
Biography[]
Black Peter was known as a stuck up bastard, who got his name from his all-black clothing. Evidently, he did not live in the area, and only visited Rattay to compete in the Tourney, where he was undefeated until he faced the Samopesh blacksmith's son, Svatopluk.
During Dead Men Tell No Tales, the blacksmith tells Henry that Svatopluk became sick and died after winning in the tourney, despite only having a few scratches and bruises. Although he suspects Black Peter's involvement, there is no proof that he had a hand in the young man's death.
Nevertheless, Henry decides to investigate, and travels to Rattay to compete in the Rattay Tourney, where he speaks to the Herald. The master of ceremonies tells you that Black Peter is an exceptionally skilled fighter, albeit a bit arrogant when it comes to winning but a sore loser. But despite agreeing the timing of Svatopluk's death was suspicious, he confirms that there was never any evidence that Black Peter was involved.
Speaking to Peter himself won't yield any more information either - he claims that Svatopluk defeated him fair and square, and he respected him for it. However, once Henry defeats him in the Tourney, he sets a trap near Peshek's mill and tries to ambush him. Once he is dispatched, Henry searches his body and finds a poisoned Page's sword, showing that he did truly murder Svatopluk.

Notes[]
- One rather amusing thing that may occur when Black Peter attacks you, is that if you manage to get back up on horseback, or if you use your own steed as a literal meat shield, the horse will be poisoned as well. This means that while the poison is active, your horse cannot sprint.
- Black Peter's name may be a reference to the 1964 Czech film also called Black Peter (Černý Petr in Czech), an early film by the Czech-American director Miloš Forman.
