Rand, an old friend of Perrin's, considers Perrin to be one of the few people that he can still trust. Despite the fact that he, at one point, wonders whether Perrin's loyalty lies with him or Faile, ({{acos|7}}) he still trusts him. Back when they were all still in Emond's Field, Perrin would often be drawn, along with Rand, into Mat's schemes.

Perrin loves Faile more than anyone in the world. When they first met, he didn't like her all that much, but his feelings soon turned around. He does everything that he can to protect her, and in TSR they get married. After Faile is kidnapped by the Shaido, all he can think about is rescuing her.

Loial is a good friend of Perrin's. They are tied together by many events, right from their first meeting to the present. Loial accompanies Perrin and Faile to the Two Rivers, and does everything he can to help Perrin.

Like most other sensible males, Perrin doesn't trust Aes Sedai very much. He knows some of them, like Verin, better than others and therefore has a little bit more trust in them, but mainly doesn't like to be around them. In TSR, when Alanna thinks about bonding Perrin, Faile threatens Alanna with her life.

Aram has sworn himself to Perrin and Faile, but Perrin has never been a big fan of Aram. Early on, he thinks that Aram smiles too much, and is annoyed that Egwene pays so much attention to him. After the events in The Shadow Rising he puts up with Aram, but although Aram is devoted to him, Perrin still doesn't like him very much.

"Perrin with a falcon on his shoulder, and Perrin with a hawk.

Again Perrin; he turned away from a Tinker and ran, faster and faster though she called for him to come back." (Egwene's dream about Perrin; {{loc|15}})

 +
"Perrin, lounging with Faile in his lap, kissing her while she played with the short-cut beard that he wore in the dream. Behind them two banners waved, a red wolf's head and a crimson eagle. A man in a bright yellow coat stood near to Perrin's shoulder, a sword strapped to his back; in some way she knew that he was a Tinker, though no Tinker would even touch a sword. And every bit of it except the beard seemed important. The banners, Faile kissing Perrin, even the Tinker. Every time he moved closer to Perrin it was as if a chill of doom shot through everything."

Relationships with Other Characters

Rand, an old friend of Perrin's, considers Perrin to be one of the few people that he can still trust. Despite the fact that he, at one point, wonders whether Perrin's loyalty lies with him or Faile, (ACoS, Ch. 7) he still trusts him. Back when they were all still in Emond's Field, Perrin would often be drawn, along with Rand, into Mat's schemes.

Perrin loves Faile more than anyone in the world. When they first met, he didn't like her all that much, but his feelings soon turned around. He does everything that he can to protect her, and in TSR they get married. After Faile is kidnapped by the Shaido, all he can think about is rescuing her.

Loial is a good friend of Perrin's. They are tied together by many events, right from their first meeting to the present. Loial accompanies Perrin and Faile to the Two Rivers, and does everything he can to help Perrin.

Like most other sensible males, Perrin doesn't trust Aes Sedai very much. He knows some of them, like Verin, better than others and therefore has a little bit more trust in them, but mainly doesn't like to be around them. In TSR, when Alanna thinks about bonding Perrin, Faile threatens Alanna with her life.

Aram has sworn himself to Perrin and Faile, but Perrin has never been a big fan of Aram. Early on, he thinks that Aram smiles too much, and is annoyed that Egwene pays so much attention to him. After the events in The Shadow Rising he puts up with Aram, but although Aram is devoted to him, Perrin still doesn't like him very much.

Moridin wants him dead and has instructed the other forsaken to hunt Perrin and Mat and kill them (KoD, Prologue).

Strengths and Talents

The Wolf Dream

Main article: Perrin's Dreams
  • Wolves are linked to Tel'aran'rhiod, which they call the "Wolf Dream", and therefore they partially live in the World of Dreams. Because of this, Wolfbrothers also have the ability to enter Tel'aran'rhiod.
  • Oftentimes in the wolf dream, Perrin will meet Hopper, a wolf he met in early in his travels, who is now dead. Hopper sometimes helps Perrin to find what he is looking for. Once, Perrin went to Tel'aran'rhiod to find Faile. Other times, he is following Slayer, or searching for Shadowspawn.
  • Like Egwene, Perrin often dreams of the future while he sleeps. His dreams, however, are seen through "windows" in the Wolf Dream.

Perrin's Journey

The Eye Of The World

The first time we see Perrin is when Padan Fain shows up at Emond's Field the night before Bel Tine. (TEotW, Ch. 3) Later, he is part of the original group that leaves the Two Rivers with Moiraine and Lan, heading first towards Baerlon, and then onwards past Shadar Logoth to Caemlyn. (TEotW, Ch. 10; Ch. 11; Ch. 12; Ch. 13) While in Baerlon, like Rand and Mat, Perrin has dreams about Ba'alzamon, marking him as one whom the Dark One wishes dead. (TEotW, Ch. 14)

Once having reached Shadar Logoth, Perrin goes with Rand and Mat to look around. They meet Mordeth, but manage to escape with their lives. That night, when Trollocs appear, Perrin is separated from the others by Mashadar. He later finds Egwene. (TEotW, Ch. 18; Ch. 19; Ch. 20; Ch. 22)

Perrin and Egwene decide to set off for Caemlyn, hoping to meet the others there. On the way, they encounter a man named Elyas and a pack of wolves. Elyas informs them that if they keep on going as they are, they will miss Caemlyn by a long shot, so Perrin and Egwene end up traveling with Elyas. Along the way, Perrin learns that Elyas can speak to wolves, and the Wolfbrother informs Perrin that he can, as well. (TEotW, Ch. 22; Ch. 23)

Perrin, Egwene and Elyas end up stumbling upon a camp of Tinkers. They travel with them for several days before parting from the Tuatha'an. (TEotW, Ch. 25; Ch. 27) Later, the three of them are attacked by ravens, but they find an abandoned stedding, where they take refuge. There, however, they are found by a group of Whitecloaks. There is a fight, and Perrin kills two Whitecloaks. One of Elyas's wolf friends, Hopper, is also killed. Because of the two dead Whitecloaks, Egwene and Perrin are taken prisoner as Darkfriends. (TEotW, Ch. 29; Ch. 30)

While with the Whitecloaks, Perrin and Egwene are treated very harshly, since they are supposedly Darkfriends. Luckily for them, Moiraine, Lan and Nynaeve appear to rescue them. They all ride on towards Caemlyn, where they find Rand and Mat. Finally, the whole group has been reunited. (TEotW, Ch. 30; Ch. 38; Ch. 41)

After everyone is caught up on what everyone else has been up to, Moiraine decides that they must go to the Eye of the World. With an Ogier named Loial to lead the way, they travel through the Ways towards Fal Dara, Shienar. Once having gotten this far, they head for the Blight, where they hope to find The Eye of the World. (TEotW, Ch. 42-Ch. 48)

They finally find the Eye of the World and the Green Man, only to also encounter two of the Forsaken, Aginor and Balthamel. Balthamel is killed by the Green Man, who is killed in turn, and Aginor is killed when he follows Rand. Lan, Mat, Perrin and Loial go into the Eye of the World and find a broken seal of the Dark One's prison, the Dragon banner and Horn of Valere. (TEotW, Ch. 49; Ch. 50; Ch. 52)

The Great Hunt

Back in Fal Dara, Perrin spends his time doing whatever until events start to pick up again. When the Horn of Valere and Mat's ruby dagger are stolen, and the Amyrlin Seat arrives, he is asked to go with the party that will track down the stolen items. He agrees (TGH, Ch. 3; Ch. 8). On the journey south, Perrin and Mat learn that Rand is the Dragon Reborn and begin to avoid him. The next morning, Rand, Hurin and Loial have disappeared. Without Hurin, their sniffer, to follow the trail of the thieves, Perrin and his wolf-nose take up the job. (TGH, Ch. 11; Ch. 14)

They continue to journey south. Nothing of much consequence happens, with the exception of running into an Aiel man named Urien who is searching for "He Who Comes With the Dawn." Perrin and Mat suspect that this might be Rand (TGH, Ch. 28).

Finally, Perrin, Mat and the Shienarans reach Cairhien, where they are reunited with Rand, Hurin and Loial. They learn that Rand and the others had found the Horn of Valere and the ruby dagger, only to have them stolen back. When Hurin learns that the Horn of Valere is in Lord Barthanes' manor, some of the others go in to find it, but return empty handed (TGH, Ch. 30; Ch. 31; Ch. 32). The whole group travels to Falme by Portal Stone, losing four months in the process. Once there, Perrin, along with the others, confronts both the Seanchan and the Whitecloaks and comes out victorious (TGH, Ch. 37; Ch. 41; Ch. 44 - Ch. 47).

The Dragon Reborn

The Dragon Reborn begins in the winter, with Perrin, Rand, Moiraine, Lan, Min, Loial and the Shienarans in the Mountains of Mist. When Trollocs attack the camp, he fights along with the others. (TDR, Ch. 1Ch. 5) When Rand leaves the Mountains of Mist on his own, Perrin, Moiraine, Lan and Loial follow him into Ghealdan (TDR, Ch. 7). They travel through Ghealdan, soon arriving at a village named Remen. There, Perrin finds that an Aielman has been taken captive and is hanging in a cage. Perrin, hating to see a man in a cage, lets him free. Perrin and the Aielman, Gaul, fight and kill the Whitecloaks that attack them. A girl sees but doesn't say anything. Perrin, Moiraine, Lan and Loial flee on a ship, but the girl jumps on board as well. Perrin learns that her name is Zarine, though she wishes to be called Faile (TDR, Ch. 33Ch. 35)

Soon, Perrin and the others reach Illian. While eating at an inn, they are attacked by six Gray Men. After they have been killed, traces of Darkhounds are found. Later, when Perrin, Moiraine, Lan, Loial and Faile are chased by Darkhounds, they kill them as well (TDR, Ch. 42; Ch. 43]) When Faile is caught by a dream ter'angreal, Perrin, having fallen in love with Faile, goes into the Wolf Dream and saves her (TDR, Ch. 53Ch. 55).

The Shadow Rising

Soon after everyone is all back together, Perrin and Faile are attacked by a bubble of evil in the Stone of Tear. Perrin's axe tries to kill them, but he protects Faile and eventually the axe returns to normal (TSR, Ch. 2).

Perrin has lately been hearing rumors about the Two Rivers and wishes to return home. However, he does not want Faile to go with him since it would put her in danger. In order to get Faile to stay behind, he puts up with Berelain flirting with him, knowing that it will anger Faile. However, this plan backfires on his when Faile tricks Loial into agreeing to take Faile to the Two Rivers by Waygate, which is how Perrin was going to go (TSR, Ch. 13; Ch. 14; Ch. 16).

Two groups end up going through the Waygate; Faile, Loial, Bain and Chiad in one group, and Perrin and Gaul a little ways behind them. Technically, they are all together, but Perrin is angry at Faile for tricking Loial, and Faile is angry at Perrin for trying to leave her behind (TSR, Ch. 18; Ch. 27).

Eventually, they all reach the Two Rivers. Perrin speaks with Marin and Bran al'Vere, who have a lot to tell him. The Whitecloaks are looking for him, and are convinced he is a Darkfriend. Perrin says that he will give himself up so that they will go away, but Faile is aghast at the suggestion. Perrin is then told that his entire family is dead because of Trollocs. Perrin is in shock but tries to hide it. He also learns that Mat's family and the Luhhans have been taken prisoner by the Whitecloaks. Out of his, Mat and Rand's families, only Abell Cauthon and Tam al'Thor are still free, and they are in hiding (TSR, Ch. 29).

Faile announces that she has had enough, that Perrin must grieve for his family. The others leave, and Perrin cries while Faile holds him (TSR, Ch. 29). Perrin plans to find Tam and Abell and rescue Mat's family and the Luhhans. Marin takes Perrin and his group to the old sickhouse, which is east of the village, and they get another big surprise. There are two Aes Sedai in the Two Riveres: Alanna and Verin. They have been hiding with help from the Women's Circle. They speak for some time, and then Tam and Abell show up (TSR, Ch. 30; Ch. 31) They head towards the Whitecloak camp, picking up other young men on the way, and manage their rescue (TSR, Ch. 32; Ch. 33).

Most of the rest of Perrin's journey consists of him leading men against Trollocs in the Two Rivers. There are a couple of encounters with the Tinkers; the Tuatha'an are attacked by Trollocs and seek shelter in Emond's Field. Aram pledges himself to Perrin and takes up the sword. Near the end, Perrin and Faile marry and Perrin convinces Faile to go for help, knowing that he will probably never see her again. However, Faile does return with help and the Two Rivers is saved (TSR, Ch. 40Ch. 45; Ch. 53; Ch. 56).

Galina promises by the Oaths to take Faile and the women with her to safety when her business is done, but this is not enough for Perrin. She tells him the Wise Ones drink only water. She tells him that although few Aiel enter the town, there are usually enough that if he went in by gateway, they would get word out and it would be a slaughter. He instructs her to go back to Faile and tell her that on the day she sees fog on the ridges and hears wolves howl by daylight, she and the others must go to Lady Cairen’s fortress at the north end of the city and hide there (KoD, Prologue).

He meets with Tylee and Mishima, persuading them he is of interest by demonstrating how good his men are with the bow and arrow and then having Grady use the Power.

He can not figure out what he is making but he turns to the water barrels and pulls out what he made before which is a figurine of Aram. The smithy disappears and in his dream he is in the battle where Aran died. In the dream he turns into a wolf and bites Aram's throat. He wonders why that happened in the dream when it did not happen in real life but Hopper says he should not worry about it it is merely a dream.
