Peter Coleman

Peter Coleman (né Maxwell), is Clara's husband and the advertising executive manager at Rivor Commercial, an advertising company rivalling Clara's department at Chemon Advertising.

Early Life
Peter (né Maxwell) Coleman was born in 1975 in Alberta, Canada where his birth parents put him up for adoption. At six months he was adopted by Arlene & Cornelius Maxwell who moved him to New York City. Peter was the first and only child the couple would have leading to Peter being emotionally smothered by his parents. As Peter grew older he began to resent his parents for the lack of privacy and personal space, although this resentment is likely caused by the event which transpired at his 10th birthday party in which his parents presented him with a cake stating: "Happy 10th Birthday! You're Adopted... and Canadian, Surprise!". Oddly, Peter felt more upset aboot being Canadian than being adopted, likely attributed to the fact that his parents were founders of the Anti-Canada campaign, which they created when Peter was 2. During Middle and High school Peter developed a keen sense for business and began to throw himself into his studies. At the age of 17 Peter was looking to get into University, so began to get involved in extracurricular activities and went to Sunnydaze Summer Camp as a trainee counsellor. This is where he met his future wife, Clara Coleman. Peter saw his relationship with Clara as the excuse needed to leave his overbearing parents behind him so he moved to Britain at the age of 18 to study and be with Clara. At 22 Peter and Clara got married, however, this was the beginning of the descent of their relationship. Peter secretly feels emasculated by being forced to give up his surname in favour of Clara's and has since thrown himself into education and work life.

Career
Peter attended the London School of Economics to complete his business degree and get a job with Chemon Advertising's rival company Rivor Commercial, itself a subsidiary of Novak Industries, the main rival of Chemon Advertising's parent company Deicken Enterprises. This rivalry often pins Peter against Clara and her staff for the same jobs, which makes home life a little awkward at times, though nothing is ever mentioned about this subject to avoid conflict.
