Peter Port

Peter Port is a professor at Beacon Academy. He is first seen in The Badge and The Burden teaching the Grimm Studies class, with Team RWBY being present.

Appearance
Peter Port is seen as an elderly man, ranging to about his mid-fifties. He wears a burgundy suit with gold trimming and gold buttons running down the collar and by the wrists. He has grey hair and a grey mustache and appears to be slightly obese. When he laughes his belly visibly shakes up and down.

Personality
Peter appears to be a man of well manners. However, his teaching skills seem to bore the class, as noted by Ruby, who was sleeping and Blake, who was uninterested in the subject. He also seems to joke around in teaching, as he tried to make the class laugh after stating he calls the Grimm prey, but was met with silence from everyone in the class.

He's also shown to not be above flirting with his female students, playfully flirting with the future Huntresses, such being Yang.

He has also proven to be quite confident in his (former) abilities as a Huntsman, often telling stories of his feats (he even has a gold bust of himself near his desk).

Trivia

 * In his classroom, Peter has a sort of battle axe that seems to also be mixed with a blunderbuss. It is heavily implied from his story, that he was a Huntsman in his past and was seen as a hero after capturing a Beowolf alive.
 * This adds to the notion that Peter is influenced by the Hunter (or Lumberjack) from the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood.
 * Due to his boasting of the subject though, he might also reference The Boy Who Cried Wolf, the title character of which is sometimes named Peter.
 * Him capturing the Beowolf alive rather than killing it could be a reference to the story of Peter and the Wolf. The background music playing during his telling is indeed Peter and the Wolf.
 * "Peter" is derived from the Greek word "Petros," meaning "stone," indicating the grey color of his hair and mustache. "Port" as a surname could be from the French "la porte" meaning "the door," and the family was charged with protecting the gates of fortified cities or large and unique doors ('portier') or from "le port" which means "harbor."
 * Seeing as how he has a trapped Boarbatusk, this may be a reference to his voice actor, Ryan Haywood, who keeps a cow named Edgar trapped under his house in the Achievement City, or this could just go to prove that the classes of Beacon can mean certain death.
