Physically, Peter is in very good health (despite being overweight and accident-prone), although it has been suggested that both he and Lois may have contracted one or more STDs. A lump in his chest turned out to be a fatty corpuscle, not cancer. However, he does occasionally suffer from incontinence at socially awkward moments and premature ejaculation with his wife. Peter's fertility was lowered (perhaps only temporarily) when Stewie went in a microscopic ship into Peter's body and destroyed several of Peter's sperm (in the episode "Emissi ...

In the episode "Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother?"', Peter discovered that he had a pre-Civil War era black ancestor named Nate Griffin. Furthermore, Nate was a slave owned by a Pewterschmidt (Lois' family) ancestor. After learning this, Peter very briefly went by the name Kichwa-Tembo until his father-in-law, Carter Pewterschmidt, paid him $20,000 in reparations. Peter then stupidly squandered the money, turning his house's den into a replica of Pee-wee's Playhouse. He later realized this was a very ridiculous and childish mistake, and gave ...

In spite of a few discrepancies caused by throwaway gags, it is easy to put together a satisfying biography of Peter Griffin. When the writers deviate from the backstory, it is for the sake of humor, and not out of some cavalier attitude to continuity as might be the case for other shows. Peter Griffin was born in Quahog, Rhode Island, around 1960, to Francis and Rose Griffin. He was baptized in the Roman Catholic faith as a baby, but did not grow up to be too devout. During the Vietnam War, Peter participated on the American side. Instead of camouflage, he wore a bright clown's get-up, reasoning that "th ...

His favorite pastime is watching television. Peter's favorite television shows are Star Trek, Three's Company, Happy Days, The Honeymooners, Coach, and Joan of Arcadia. Peter is insanely jealous of Lois' ex-boyfriends, and he will attack any man who expresses the slightest interest in her (he even punched an orca after it "kissed" Lois). Two notable exceptions: upon learning that Lois had been sexually involved with Gene Simmons, a member of his favorite band, KISS; needless to say, he was pro ...
