He is a government agent. He and his team know about the first encounter with a Predator in Guatemala in 1987 (see Predator). They have been investigating the event thoroughly since then and has become aware, that such an event had already happened before in other places.
Now that a Predator has appeared 1997 in Los Angeles ten years later in order to hunt there, where gang wars are going on, Peter Keyes has the task to stop it and catch it alive so that its technology can be salvaged and later used for the country´ s purposes. He hopes humanitiy can greatly advance through it.
For this purpose he acts under a cover and makes sure noone will interfere, including the local police led by Mike Harrigan. After two weeks of preparations regarding his plan, he executes it, but not before telling Mike Harrigan about the Predator when he continues interfering. He fails in the execuion of the plan and most of his men died. He is later killed by the Predator, when he throws a sharp disk against him after Harrigan intervenes. It leads to the salvation of Harrigan through his intervention.
In the following fighting, however, Mike Harrigan manages to kill it later.
