Peter Evertsen was a Nilfgaardian official and an army bailiff during the first war where he served the decree which essentially called for the annihilation of Lyria and Aedirn. After the war, he was promoted to imperial treasurer.
Later, during the reign of Morvran Voorhis, he was falsely accused of abuse of power, convicted, and imprisoned at Winneburg where he died. Ultimately, he was cleared, though posthumously, by the emperor Jan Calveit in the year 1328.
