Peter Ratri (ピーターラートリー) is the main antagonist of the The Promised Neverland anime.

History
Peter Ratri always looked up to his brother, James Ratri, the previous head of the Ratri clan, but James found out about the farms, and found it unacceptable. He then formulated plans to reverse this, started to call himself William Minerva, and set up many devices and shelters in order to save the children. However, Peter saw this as wrong, and ended up hiring a hitman to kill his brother, Minerva. But after he heard his last words, he regrets his decision and mourns his death.

Appearance
Peter is an average-built man with a menacing look on his face. He has wavy, long, platinum blonde hair worn in a middle part. He is often seen wearing a white suit with a black shirt and red tie.

Personality
Peter seems to be a kind man but in reality, he is an evil person who wants to control children and he doesn't want them to have hope.

Post-Jailbreak Arc
He met Norman the day Norman had supposed to be shipped out, He greeted Norman. Isabella tells Norman that Peter will be Norman's new father but he is too young to be father of Norman. He told that he want Norman to help him in his research. Peter saw Norman in screen and declares that he will control all children in farms, without even a speck of hope.

King of Paradise Arc
It is revealed that Phil and the others are to be shipped out, however it is a trap by Peter Ratri to lure the escapees to Grace Fields and Peter called Isabella (now Grandma) and he asks if it is the right to to do and she agreed. Ratri explains his plan to expand the Lambda drug-based development to other farms, demolishing the need for high-class farms such as Grace Field.

Return to Grace Field Arc


When Emma and the escapees arrive via air balloon, they get into the farms and hack the camera and gates of the farms, resulting in the escape of Phil and the others. When they all meet near the exit they are surrounded by sisters and mamas along with Isabelle, while holding rifles indicating the end of the escape. Peter Ratri has backup demon forces coming but are then quickly aimed at by the sisters and mamas. Isabella revealed that during the hack, the chips implemented into sisters and mamas that are used to avoid misguiding, were broken. Many demons who had drank Mijuka's blood had came in rebellion, killing all the demon forces for Peter. As Peter Ratri is on the floor shaking from what had happened, Emma gives him a chance and said "Lets live together. Peter Ratri".

Emma attempts to convince Peter Ratri to come with them to the human world. Peter insists that there is no hope for him, and ends up cutting his throat. Ratri decides to die in the building he sees as his fate. With Ratri dead, the Grace Field residents along with the escapees are able to go to the human world at last.

Isabella
Isabella and Peter's relationship maybe purely in upholding the Promise and making sure that the children cannot escape to the Human World, but Isabella betrays Peter and she decided to save the children against Peter.

Emma
Although Peter opposed and hated Emma and others, Emma treated him well. Emma invites Peter to live with them together, but Peter refuses and commits suicide.

James Ratri
The two of them originally had a brotherly bond. Peter even agreed with James his way of thinking for a while because he thought that it was better. This seemed to be a facade when Peter revealed that he was just pretending to agree with James' plans. Peter even went as far to take James his title of the 35th head of the family and claim it himself. He then ordered his underlings and the rest of his clans to kill his own brother, implying the hostility between the two.
