The third of the central male protagonists, Perrin is a blacksmith's apprentice from Emond's Field who discovers he is a Wolfbrother - able to communicate with wolves and access their senses, sharing a primal connection to the ancient bond between wolves and humans. He has enormous physical strength, enhanced further by his wolf nature, and golden eyes that mark him as something other than ordinary. Perrin is the most grounded and emotionally steady of the three boys - serious, methodical, and deeply uncomfortable with the violence his abilities push him toward. His arc across the series involves both his external struggle to protect the Two Rivers and his internal struggle to accept what he is, culminating in his mastery of the World of Dreams in the final books.
