Biography in the SC Shorts
Old Puffer Pete (along with Wilson) first appeared in the episode "I Hate This Place A Chugging Ton". In the episode, he and Wilson mysteriously stumbled upon Sodor one day and then started to antagonize Thomas and his friends which later led to a small fight. After loosing badly to Thomas, Wilson then challenged him to a battle. If Thomas won, then he and his friends get to stay on Sodor. But if Wilson won, he and his Chuggington friends get to take over Sodor and kick Thomas and his friends off of the island. The battle didn't go so well for Pete or Wilson as they both lost horribly to their opponents. The two were then banished from Sodor by the orders of Thomas for loosing to them.

Personality
In Chuggington, Old Puffer Pete is a supercentenarian steam chugger who is at least a hundred and fifty years old. Despite his age, he is still a hard worker; and while he is a bit slow most of the time, he doesn't let it stop him and prefers to takes things "slow but steady". Pete loves to watch the trainees work and learn, and always tries to pass on his wisdom if needed.

While some chuggers feel that Pete is not of worth anymore, Pete is very much a hard working, sophisticated chugger- something that many chuggers have come to accept over the years. Pete has a very good sense of humor and loves to play little jokes on his colleagues; he can be a bit forgetful, though, especially when it comes to names.

In the SC Shorts however, Pete is potrayed as a stereotypical grumpy, weak and inappropriate old man who hardly gets along with anyone (especially Wilson).
