Peregrine was almost drummed out of the A.V.A.C. corps for his many complaints about how "slow" and "laden with safety features" the Firebat was. He disabled any remaining safety protocols on his plane, and refused to wear a parachute, because he considered them "bad luck".

Peregrine's jetpack is the fastest of all the experimental models, and also the most prone to catastrophic failure. Peregrine has started the pack at less than 100 feet to the ground in a stall out dive, and still survived to tell the tale. His need for speed is only balanced by a survival instinct that can only be described as "dumb ass luck."

"Live Fast, Die Young. Anything else is too boring to contemplate."
