Samuel "Sam" Derek Peters, Senior is the Peters kids' father as well as the older brother of Nathan Peters. He divorced Hannah (his wife) ten years before the series, explaining his definitive absence until the end of the first book.

Physical Appearance
Mr. Peters is described by his daughter, Jo, as a tall and skinny middle-aged man, sporting brown hair and brown eyes. It is unknown what his usual attire is.

Personality
Though he isn't seen until the end of the first book, he is described as kind and compassionate, as well as humble. These traits are demonstrated in his letter to his youngest daughter. Mr. Peters is also shown to be forgiving and family-oriented, as he forgives his son, Josh, for siding with Nathan, instead stating how proud he is that he made the right choice in the end, and dives into lava with his younger brother in order to save Jo without a second thought.
