Biography[]
P.J. was a government employee who worked in the Theory Room of the National Threat Assessment Command (NTAC) offices in Seattle, Washington. He worked closely with Marco Pacella and Brady Wingate and assisted field agents Tom Baldwin and Diana Skouris in their efforts to study and track members of the 4400.
In 2007, P.J. injected himself with Promicin hoping that it would give him some special superhuman ability. He got his wish, but not quite in the manner in which he expected. P.J. developed the ability to create a halluinigenic virtual reality culled from the subconscious minds of anyone he chose. What took place within this faux reality was beyond his control. He first discovered his power after witnessing his girlfriend Sara getting into a heated argument with his mother. Creating a false reality, the two women formed a bond and were able to successfully heal their relationship. P.J. believed that this same tactic could be used to smooth the increasingly volotile relations between the government forces at NTAC and Jordan Collier's 4400 refuge in Promise City.
The reality that P.J. created brought members of both NTAC and Collier's group together in the abandoned offices of the NTAC offices. The players in P.J.'s "game" were forced to work together to survive against a building that was seemingly trying to kill them. The group succeeded in the test by sacrificing their own virtual lives in the process. Once the effect faded, NTAC field agent Tom Baldwin was more receptive towards working with Jordan Collier. However, P.J. was arrested for the illegal use of promicin. [1]
