Prerequisite
Peter is not available to be recruited until he has been named “Keeper of Keys” in Chapter 3.
Peter, Keeper of Keys
Peter was a simple fisherman in the port city of Capernaum for most of his life. He was not well educated, was known to use vulgar language, and was quick to start fights in the local taverns. It must have been quite a surprise for the members of his community when Jesus called him to be a disciple. Peter left everything and followed Jesus that day.
While his faith was strong, Peter was also prone to fall back into his old habits, and struggled more than most of the other disciples to accept Jesus’s teachings of patience and compassion. It may have taken him longer to get there in the end, but Peter’s courage under pressure and perseverance in the face of the adversity of persecution from the Roman empire led him to become one of the greatest early leaders of the Christian church.
“I will give you the keys of the Kingdom. whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven, whatever you loose on Earth with be loosed in Heaven.”
-Matthew 16:19
Peter as an Elder. Despite having been martyred for his faith, Peter still feels guilt for his three denials of Jesus. He feels that staying behind as an Elder is a small form of repentance for his lapse in faith.

Keys of the Kingdom: As an action, Peter touches an object (such as a lock or door) that is locked or closed, and begins concentrating on it (as though concentrating on a spell).

This ability can unlock or open anything that can be unlocked or opened by the casting of a wish spell, and dispels any spells or magical effects keeping the object locked or closed.
