Overview
Pete Willis was the Deputy of Prosperity, Arizona. He worked under Sheriff Samantha Parker. Pete Willis was one of several key figures involved in protecting prosperity against a horde of giant spiders. He first noticed them when an over-sized spider got into the drywall of his home and killed his cat. Although Pete nearly died several times during the course of these events, he managed to survive. He even credited mutated spider blood with making his hair start to grow back again.
