Pete Campbell is an Account Executive at the Sterling Cooper advertising agency. A descendent of the venerable Dykeman family and a graduate of Deerfield Academy prep school, he lives with his wife Trudy in a Park Avenue apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side. While angling for a promotion to head Account Services, Pete discovered that his boss Don Draper is living under an alias so he tried to blackmail him. When that backfired, Pete got back to business by landing the Clearasil account -- courtesy of his father-in-law, a top salesman at Vicks Chemical. On the personal front, Pete's pre- and post-marital affair with coworker Peggy Olson has resulted in the birth of a son -- unbeknownst to Pete.
