Pete White

Peter White is a recurring character on The Venture Bros., a cartoon appearing on Adult Swim.

Character History
Peter White is a self-proclaimed genius (which seems to be a common practice of characters on the show), though he has never shown any proof to back that claim up. He is a friend and ally of Dr. Venture, and the two (supposedly) met in college. While in school, White hosted a student radio show called "The White Room", but he was eventually kicked off the air for saying something vulgar about one of his friends. He took a class taught by Professor Richard Impossible, one of the best minds in the Venture universe, but ultimately failed the class. Impossible, it should be noted, has little tolerance for imperfection.

After college, White and Master Billy Quizboy started Conjectural Technologies together, but it is unclear as to what kinds of technologies they deal with. The only time we saw them do anything was when they helped Dean Venture with his testicular tortion in the episode Are You There God? It's Me, Dean. They are based out of an old trailer, and White seems to boss Billy around, preferring to play video games while Billy cooks, cleans, and answers the phone.

White and Billy are usually seen together; they attended Venture's tag sale together, where they fought over a shrink ray. They also encountered Dr. Girlfriend, and they tried to proposition her to become their archnemesis. They tried to tempt her by stating that White is an albino, and that she could kill him with light. The pair, along with Dr. Venture, were invited to join a think tank led by Prof. Impossible, despite the fact that Impossible also failed Billy and gave Venture a sympathy D (his father died that semester). Both Billy and White ridiculed Venture while he was presenting a new machine before the United Nations, and they were seen arguing about Triana Orpheus at Dr. Venture's Christmas party.

So far, the only time they haven't been seen together is in the episode Past Tense, when White, Venture, Brock Samson, and Baron Ünderbheit were attending the funeral of their friend, Mike Sorayama. A robotic duplicate of Sorayama captured the foursome and tried to exact revenge for the ways they had wronged him in college (White's offense was the thing he read on the radio).

White was last seen (along with Billy) giving Jonas Venture, Jr. a bionic arm to cover up his malformed stub.

Mannerisms and Appearance
White is an albino, which serves to make his surname oddly appropriate. He speaks a bit of an accent and is at times effeminate, which leads characters (mainly Billy) to accuse him of being a homosexual. He has shown an interest in both Dr. Girlfriend and Triana Orpheus, but he may just be covering up his homosexuality. He often walks around holding a parasol, which may be due to his effeminate nature, may be to shield his extremely sensitive skin from the sun, but is most likely a combination of both (seeing as how an albino would need to protect themself from the sun and that the parasol seems to be very ornate).
