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.

Faile announces that she has had enough, that Perrin must grieve for his family. 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. They have been hiding with help from the Women's Circle.

Perrin is dreaming and in his dream he is working as a smith making something he is unsure of as Hopper watches. As he works he thinks about the rumors people are hearing about him and Berelain and how they are not true, he was merely sick and she took care of him. 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. He returns to the smithy and pulls out more figurines, hundreds of them. He wonders what it means but then he wakes up and finds himself in bed next to Faile.

ToM, Prologue. Perrin is almost to the Jehannan road with his army and is thinking about all the time they have lost because of the camp becoming sick and the sickness almost killing his Asha'man. He is approached by some riders who would like to join his army. Perrin tells them he does not have money to pay them but they say food will be enough, so they join Perrin's group.

Upon reaching the Jehannan road Perrin finds Fennel waiting. Fennel tells them that due to poor road conditions Gill and the others had headed towards Lugard thinking that was the best possible way to get to Caemlyn. Fennel was left behind to tell the, and he tells Perrin that he has been waiting there for 5 days.

He tells Fennel to go get some food and he joins Faile. Him and Faile talk about how Perrin's army is growing. Faile thinks Perrin did a good job while she was gone but Perrin feels like he is a failure and the men need someone better. The scouts show up and tell perrin there is something he needs to see. ToM, Ch. To Perrin it smells like there should be dead bodies there but there are not.

Nevarin tells him that it looks like the blight. They followed the plants and found a town. Masuri tells Perrin this is not a town that belongs there. There is no one their so perrin tells the Aes Sedai and Wise Ones to burn as much of it as they can.

He lays down and fall asleep entering the Wolf dream. The wolves including Hopper and Oak Dancer want Perrin to hunt with them.

At one point while he is chasing them he sees visions one of Mat and one of Grady and his friends. Soon Perrin spots a Tinker woman approaching, Perrin notes that she does not smell afraid, and admonishes himself, still fearing his abilities. The woman tells him she is looking for a woman who sometimes uses the name Moiraine and that her name is Leya. Perrin takes her to the camp of the Dragon Reborn.

In the camp Perrin encounters Min, who tells him she has had a vision of Leya, her face floating over her shoulder, covered in blood, eyes staring.

Min knows she will die and tells Perrin the visions are never clearer in their meaning than this one, but she doesn't know when this will occur. Joined by Loial, Min and Perrin note that Rand has been arguing with Moiraine, wishing to join his followers on Almoth Plain, but she opposes the idea as it will expose him and likely lead to his capture.

Rand suddenly begins to channel creating an earthquake and frightening the entire camp. Min tells Moiraine of the vision but is now unsure about the meaning and seems troubled by this, as she has never been wrong. Uno suspects the Soulless, or Gray Men, are the assassins. Perrin dreams that night of a well-dressed handsome man in his middle years who tries to convince him to abandon his axe and return to be a blacksmith.

Perrin refuses to eat or drink what the man offers, prompting the stranger to tell him that three threads that are woven together can all be destroyed when one is cut from the Pattern. The man then vanishes. Still in the dream, Perrin is now faced with a mirror showing him a version of himself dressed in golden armor, and a beautiful woman dressed all in white, appears to tempt him with the image.

He also refuses her offer of a drink and she tells him she will always be in his dreams, then vanishes. Perrin continues to dream, seeing a blur of a woman in white, a tall, dark, and slender man with silver in his black hair and a dark green coat embroidered with gold. Another man appeared wearing a black striped red coat with lace at the collar. Shorter and stockier than the other man with white hair and an arrogant air about him.

The two men seemed to argue, but Perrin could not hear them, only sense their hate for one another. A third man, wearing black velvet and white lace, appears, Perrin almost recognizes him.

The other men seemed afraid of him, but they all argued until the last man created a giant fireball engulfing the area. Perrin flees the scene and finds himself in a room of polished Redstone columns surrounding a sword, hanging hilt down in the air, it seems made of glass or crystal.

Perrin leaps from his bed and calls out for the others to wake up as Trollocs are attacking the camp. Perrin sees Leya come out of a tent and goes to protect her, only for a Myrddraal to appear and kill Leya as she attempts to distract it from killing Perrin.

Perrin goes into a berserker type rage, thinking and fighting as a wolf, and destroys the creature the wolves refer to as a Neverborn.

The wolf pack arrives to fight the shadowspawn and Perrin rejoins the fight, Young Bull fighting alongside the pack. Perrin recovers his human self after the fighting but is scared by how easily he had succumbed to his wolf side.

Moiraine Heals Perrin and tells him she also Healed the wolves she could find; their arrival had saved all of their lives. The next morning Perrin wakes to the news that Rand has vanished. Masema, one of the Shienaran lancers is particularly distraught, but Perrin eases his mind even though he thinks the man is going insane.

Perrin and Moiraine argue for a time, but he eventually tells her of his dreams, and she identifies the sword as Callandor, within the Stone of Tear, a legendary part of the Prophecies of the Dragon. Before leaving Min pulls Perrin aside and tells her she has had visions regarding him. Both females, I think. And all the rest, of course. What is always there. A man named Simion gives them some information about strange events happening in the last two days, sudden weddings of nearly every woman of eligible age causing an uproar and celebrations, and a group of Whitecloaks dissolving into chaos.

Simion goes on to tell Perrin he recognizes Moiraine as an Aes Sedai and wants her to help his sick brother, Noam, who has a mysterious illness that the local healer Mother Roon says she cannot do anything for.

Perrin is shocked when he sees that Noam is a wolfbrother, but has lost his human self to the wolf, becoming more beast than a man in demeanor. Moiraine tells Simion and Perrin that there is nothing she can do for him and even comforts Simion who is distraught seeing his brother locked in a shed for the rest of his life.

Simion tells Perrin the Whitecloaks had asked about Perrin, claiming he was a darkfriend, but no darkfriend would care about Noam and helped Perrin stay hidden so the rest of the village would not see his eyes. Perrin speaks to Moiraine to find out what she knows of his ability.

She has only seen a fragment of a book from the Age of Legends which mentioned it as something that could have been a myth or legend even then, but the author wrote mostly of dreams and that wolves live partially in a world of dreams, and that the few Aes Sedai with the Dreaming Talent also wrote of encountering wolves. Perrin continues to have dreams that feel real, encountering Hopper, who warns him to run from the dream.

Egwene also encounters Perrin in tel'aran'rhiod but she is chased off by Hopper who is now guarding Perrin in his dreams. Remen has had an eventful few days, but Lan is not sure if this is due to Rand or something else. Perrin catches a scent that he associates with shadowspawn, but it is not from Trollocs or Myrddraal.

The group follows Lan to an inn, Waylands Forge, where Gainor Furlan tells them about the Hunters for the Horn, Lords Orban, and Gann, staying at the inn who have captured the Aielman and killed many more but have been injured in the process.

Perrin notices a young dark-haired woman staring at him, she is no older than he, with slightly tilted dark eyes and a nose that just missed being too large and too bold, a generous mouth, and high cheekbones. Perrin asks Moiraine if she had sensed anyone far gone to the Shadow and explains about the girl he saw.

Moiraine tells him he is a handsome man and that some girls admire broad shoulders. Without truly considering what he was doing, Perrin lowers the cage to the ground and breaks open the lock. The Aielman notes that it took three men to hoist the cage up and is confused as to why Perrin is freeing him, to which Perrin replies he does not like seeing people in cages. The pair then fights a group of Whitecloaks who have discovered them afterward Gaul runs into the night and vanishes, but Perrin sees the girl from the inn has seen them.

Returning to the inn Perrin finds Lan and explains what has happened, Lan furiously sending Perrin to get Loial and go to the stables, they must find a ship that night. Boarding the Snow Goose that night Perrin finds the girl has followed them and negotiates passage to wherever Perrin is going, Illian.

She tells Perrin she is a Hunter and that she intends to follow his group due to the strangeness of the party. She blushes and tells him her true name is Zarine Bashere, but the name is not suited to a Hunter.

Hopper tells Perrin that all wolves come to the dream when they die and then shows that he can fly in the dream. Perrin has visions of Rand fighting shadowspawn including something that smelled of Sulphur. Perrin tries to warn Rand, but Rand channels and Perrin wakes. The injury from the dream lingers as a burn on his chest, he goes to Moiraine and explains the dream, she believes it to be real based on what she knows of Aes Sedai Dreamers.

However, she refuses to Heal the injury, saying it will serve as a reminder to him to be careful. They discuss the name Zarine, Moiraine explaining it is Saldaean and indicative of an indolent woman. He does not tell Moiraine that Zarine is aware she is Aes Sedai or that she is following them, though.

Snow Goose arrives in Illian after an eventful voyage with Zarine and Moiraine, Perrin fighting with both women throughout the trip, including one shouting match with Zarine which revealed to the entire crew of the ship that Moiraine was Aes Sedai, creating even more tension. They head through the city of Illian to an inn known well to Moiraine, Easing the Badger in the ironically named Perfumed Quarter.

The innkeeper, Nieda, greeting Moiraine warmly and revealing the woman as a Blue Ajah eyes-and-ears, is told that Moiraine has been away from Tar Valon but is sure Adine has been noting the messages.

Nieda tells Moiraine that she has been having odd dreams, as have many people she knows, of Lord Brend of the Council of Nine. While having dinner the group is attacked by six Gray Men, forcing Moiraine to channel and reveal herself as an Aes Sedai to those at the inn. Moiraine leaves to investigate, alone, angering Lan. Lan asks Perrin how he knew the Gray Men were there, not even Aes Sedai or Warder's senses could detect the shadow assassins.

Perrin admits to having smelled them. Lan then has Perrin follow him to search for other dangers or clues outside the inn. Perrin smells the Sulphur scent again and then sees Lan looking at what appeared to be a large dog print pressed into stone. Lan tells Perrin the creature is a Darkhound, shadowspawn not seen south of the Mountains of Dhoom since the Trolloc Wars, then leaves to find Moiraine as she is in grave danger not knowing about the creature's presence.

Eventually, the wolf comes to him. The wolf tells him that he is not experienced enough for the wolf dream and to leave and tries to explain the nature of the dream. Perrin tells Hopper about the Darkhound and Hopper immediately tells Perrin to run, the Shadowbrothers are a great danger to him, and that this means the Last Hunt is coming.

Waking to Zarine in his room demanding information, Perrin is surprised when Moiraine crashes into the room announcing his wolf dreams are as accurate as an Aes Sedai Dreamers and that one of the Forsaken now rules Illian. Lan has killed the Darkhound, but Moiraine is certain that Lord Brend, whom she has identified as the Forsaken Sammael, will realize a Warder is in the city and that they must flee immediately.

When Perrin demands more information, he accidentally tells Zarine that Rand is the Dragon Reborn, forcing Moiraine to tell the girl she is now sealed to the group and cannot go another way. Nieda is then told to take everything and everyone she loves and flee Illian as well. They leave the city and reach the Maredo Causeway leading through the marshes around Illian.

Galloping ahead of the pack of Darkhounds now hot on their heels. Finding high ground to fight the pack off, Perrin uses his bow, but it has little effect on the Darkhounds. At the last moment, Moiraine uses the One Power, the air between her hands caught fire and streaked toward the Darkhounds, vanquishing the night.

She tells the group she has used something that has been forbidden for nearly two thousand years by vows almost as strong as the Three Oaths. Now in Tear, Perrin and Zarine discuss events since Illian. Perrin finds himself drawn to the smithy and begins helping master Dermid Ajala, whose own apprentices had simply walked away, muttering of nightmares. After Perrin makes several items for the man Ajala tells him he is worthy of being a master himself and gives him the hammer he had used throughout the day.

Moiraine can only sense residues of pure flows of Spirit, something rarely used alone in weaves of the One Power. Perrin swears to save the girl and to always call her Faile now and with Loial placing himself on guard to protect his friends Perrin steps into the trap to save Faile. Eventually saving Faile, but gravely injured. Perrin begins looking for rumors he thinks will entice Faile to leave Tear for another adventure without him.

Faile wants to leave the Stone but is trying to convince Perrin to go with her. Perrin eventually learns of Whitecloaks in the Two Rivers and begins planning to return home so he can save his people, but is worried that Moiraine will prevent him from leaving, or worse that Faile will want to come with him, and he does not want her to see him be executed by the Whitecloaks, the pair fight after Berelain comes and flirts with Perrin in an attempt to manipulate him into speaking to Rand on her behalf.

When Perrin eventually goes to Loial for help using The Ways to travel to the Two Rivers, he finds Faile has already commandeered the Ogier through trickery.

Arriving at the Waygate where the city of Manetheren was once, on the edge of the Mountains of Mist and the Two Rivers.

The party is attacked by a force of Trollocs led by a Myrddraal, also in the Ways, escaping to the outside world just as Machin Shin, the Black Wind, was drawn to the skirmish. Loial can lock the Waygate from the outside, thinking to block more shadowspawn from using it to enter the Two Rivers. Entering the wolf dream to investigate a flock of ravens he suspects are shadoweyes, Perrin encounters a man with a cold, inhuman scent and follows him to the base of a two-hundred-foot-tall tower, gleaming like burnished steel.

Hopper appears and tells him that the man, Slayer, is dangerous to wolves and anyone who dies in the wolf dream dies forever. A woman with golden hair in a thick braid suddenly appears and tells Perrin the Tower of Ghenjei is dangerous for humans, she claims to be an archer, not an Aes Sedai, and admits she is warning him despite prescripts against doing so.

She is surprised to learn Perrin can speak to wolves but knows the ability once existed long ago. She goes on to tell him to beware of the World of Dreams and of the Aelfinn and Eelfinn, as they are not to be trusted.

Explaining that they are the creatures the game Snakes and Foxes were in remembrance of, referencing 'Courage to strengthen, fire to blind, music to daze, iron to bind. Hopper gives Perrin one last warning about Slayer and tells him that Slayer has driven the wolves from the Two Rivers because he is killing them in the dream.

The couple informs Perrin that he should leave, the Whitecloaks are looking for him and claim he is a darkfriend, which they know is absurd.

Despite the Whitecloaks' actions, the Two Rivers people are frightened that if they leave the Trollocs will have free reign to rampage throughout the area. Lord Luc, a Hunter for the Horn who has come to the Two Rivers, has been attempting to get the farmers to organize and fight the Trollocs, but they fear leaving their families unprotected.

Marin then takes the group to a hiding place Bran suggests, the old sick house, as they are leaving the Inn the group encounters Cenn Buie who wants to turn Perrin in. Marin puts Cenn straight and he agrees to stay quiet. The Aes Sedai claim to be in the region searching for stories and girls with the ability to channel, Nynaeve and Egwene creating quite a stir in the White Tower due to their great strength in the Power. However, Alanna, being emotionally distraught due to one of her Warders being killed, asks questions about Rand and Mat leading Perrin to question their motivations.

Perrin decides to go to Watch Hill to see what can be done about the Luhans and Cauthons. Accompanied by Verin, Tomas, Abell, Tam, Faile, Gaul, Bain and Chiad Perrin heads to farms in the area and gathers men as well as convincing the farmers to head into the villages for protection.

Perrin then sneaks into the Whitecloak encampment near Watch Hill and rescues the Luhans and Cauthons and sends them with Tam and Abell back to the old sick house. Taking the group of young men he had gathered along the way to Watch Hill, Perrin decides to hunt the Trollocs.

Perrin is not ready to return to the village yet, believing there are still many Trollocs out in the forests, even though they have killed many already. The group is ambushed by Trollocs led by a Myrddraal, resulting in Perrin being gravely injured and twenty-seven Two Rivers young men being killed, something Perrin blames himself for bitterly.

As the injured band makes its way to shelter, they come across a band of Tinkers, including Raen, Ila, and Aram whom Perrin had met a year earlier while traveling with Elyas Machera. Faile finally tells Perrin about her true identity as the daughter of Davram Bashere and cousin to the Queen of Saldaea, after this Perrin tells Faile about his wolfbrother abilities.

In the wolf dream, Perrin sees that the Waygate is no longer locked and that more shadowspawn are entering the Two Rivers.

He once again encounters the man known as Slayer, who he realizes looks very much like Lan Mandragoran and he wore the hadori, a customary male Malkieri headband. Perrin fights Slayer, but eventually realizes that the man is drawing him into an ambush and he then steps out of the dream. Perrin collapses and is taken to the Inn where Alanna removes the barbed arrow from him and Heals him. This leaves Perrin quite weak and when he awakes, he is told that Gaul and Loial have gone to seal the Waygate.

Trollocs have been raiding the village but as Bain and Chiad come into the village at a run they announce that a force of roughly five hundred Trollocs are less than a mile behind them. The village is attacked and using their longbows and catapults Alanna and Verin instruct them to build and annihilate the attacking Trollocs before they can get into the village. The villagers are not willing to hand Perrin over to Bornhald, but Perrin insists they allow the Whitecloaks to stay as they would be killed if they leave.

The Trollocs have begun to attack the village regularly, looking for weaknesses in their defenses. Dannil Lewin brings news that there is a message for Perrin and brings him to a gravely injured man at the edge of the village. Sent to - tell you. The sentries had found the man several miles south of the village, but none of the men recognized him.

A young curly-haired boy rushes to Perrin to inform him that there is movement being seen in the Westwood. Bursting from the trees Loial, carrying Gaul, runs toward the village. Perrin is relieved to learn that Loial and Gaul had managed to permanently seal the Waygate four days earlier. However, Loial is certain there are several thousand Trollocs already in the area and as many as fifty Myrddraal. Perrin enters the wolf dream that night and has visions; Egwene, standing in a crowd of kneeling women which included Nynaeve and Elayne, Rand in rags and a bandage covering his eyes.

Perrin does not understand the nature of these visions and is not sure if they are connected to anything in real life or not. Pushing himself to focus on the task at hand, Perrin heads into the dream to see what he can find around the shadowspawn in the Two Rivers.

Once again encountering Slayer, Perrin lays a trap and shoots the man in the chest with an arrow, driving him from the dream. This leaves Perrin confused as Slayer and Luc looked nothing alike. Perrin then asks Faile to carry a message to the Queen of Andor to send help, she agrees but tells him he must marry her first.

They wed in the common room of the Winespring Inn. The village is prepared, with the Tinkers and women on the green prepared to escape with the children and the men ringing the village with longbows. The Whitecloak force being held in reserve to help the defense wherever the fighting was hottest. Bornhald attempts to renege on the agreement, but Perrin promises to give himself over to Bornhald if they all survive the Trolloc attack.

The battle begins and the shadowspawn forces push the fighting into the town, the Whitecloaks offering no help despite the agreement made with Perrin. Eventually, the women come to help the men hold the line between the very houses of the village. Bornhald attempts to arrest Perrin but is sent away for not meeting his end of the bargain to help in the fighting. Perrin does not appear in the book. He is mentioned on several occasions by Mat, Nynaeve, Egwene and Rand.

Still in the Two Rivers, recovering from the Trolloc attacks and dealing with being Lord, largely forcing Faile to do the work. Egwene has caught glimpses of Perrin in tel'aran'rhiod but believes them to be her imagination, but continues to have true Dreams which include Perrin, one with a wolf at his feet and a hawk and a falcon perched on each shoulder and another involving a Tinker.

Berelain, now in Cairhien with Rand, asks about Perrin and tells Rand to send her warmest regards to Perrin when he next sees him. When three Ogier, Elder Haman, Eldrith, and Covril come to Rand looking for Loial, he tells them he is with Perrin in the Two Rivers and takes them via a gateway to the Two Rivers, however, Perrin and his entourage have already left the area and are in route to Caemlyn to join Rand. After two months of traveling, Perrin arrives in Caemlyn and finds Saldaean soldiers guarding the city, Faile is more concerned about encountering her mother than her father.

He tells the men that he is there to see Rand. Not the way you both want. She won't refuse it. You and I will meet again. The sparks, Rand. She met Moiraine coming in, and there were sparks, with just the two of them. Yesterday I couldn't see sparks without at least three or four of you together, but today it's all sharper, and more furious. You're all in more danger today than yesterday.

Since she came. A severed hand, not hers. You are all in some kind of danger. Or you will be, very soon I think [Liandrin] has to come as much as the rest of you. The rest of us. I can see the danger around all of you more clearly, now. I see things I am sure link you to Rand, and Perrin, and Mat, and - yes, even Galad" —Egwene is one of the primary characters, working with all four of the ones mentioned here.

I saw her own face floating over her shoulder, covered in blood, eyes staring. A Tuatha'an with a sword. A falcon and a hawk, perching on your shoulders. Both female, I think". He was going to be wounded on the day the Aes Sedai died. He was going to be hurt more than the blood told, hurt somehow deeper than wounds to his flesh More: a sword floated above his head, and a banner waved behind it.

The long-hilted sword, like those most Warders used, had a heron engraved on its slightly curved blade, symbol of a blademaster, and Min could not say whether it belonged to Gawyn or threatened him. The banner bore Gawyn's sigil of the charging White Boar, but on a field of green rather than the red of Andor. Aside from her being in only her skin, there was something odd about the image.

She has no idea what it means. She had never seen that fluttering back and forth, as though not even the viewing could tell which would be the true future. Worse, she had a feeling near to certainty that it was what she had done this day that had turned Gawyn toward those two possibilities.

She did not like viewings connected to the Seanchan. At least Edesina would escape somehow. An aura, and a bull ripping roses from around its neck and None of it matters except the aura. I didn't really understand that, but more than anything else. If you want to stay alive, you had better stay close to him. If he stays close to you, you live. If he gets too far away, for too long, you are going to die.

Both of you. I don't know why I should have seen anything about you in his aura, but you seemed like part of it". Faile leaves, but returns with reinforcements from Deven Ride and Watch Hill.

In Caemlyn, Perrin first meets his inlaws Davram Bashere and Deira Bashere , who are understandably hesitant to approve of a man that seemingly stole away their underage daughter and married into a very wealthy and politically connected Saldaean family. Davram, at least, soon sees what his daughter does in Perrin and knows that Faile's fierce independence is more to blame than anything else for their haste. Faile's kidnapping by the Shaido in Amadicia begins period of frustration and self-reflection for Perrin where the lengths he will go to in order to resue her reveal a darker side to his character.

After the Last Battle , Perrin is set to become the prince consort of Saldaea , as Faile became heir apparent to the Broken Crown via the deaths of Queen Tenobia and both her parents. Perrin also forms close relationships with several other important characters, notably his mentor Elyas Machera , the obsessive and ultimately destructive Aram , Berelain sur Paendrag Paeron and others.

Each one is a very different type of bond, although the latter was a source of anxiety for most of the books due to the rivalry between Faile and Berelain the hawk in Min's viewing.

After the kidnap of Faile, Perrin senses that Berelain is no longer interested in attemptiong to steal him from Faile and the relationship matures into one of respect. Perrin first meets Elyas Machera and begins to sense the wolves a few days before he makes a full transformation to wolfbrother and gains the distinctive wolf-like yellow eyes.

It seems likely that the triggering event is the first contact with wolves and their acceptance of him among them. The name given to Perrin by the wolves is Young Bull. Note that this name is assigned by the wolves, not chosen by Perrin himself, and reflects his "true essence". An interpretation of his name could be one of great strength and a degree of caution about the world. For a list and examination of Perrin's Wolf dreams, see the relevant page.

Perrin is associated with these two objects throughout the series, and they are central Perrin's choice between being a man of peace or a man of violence. The axe was made in NE by Haral Luhhan after being commissioned by a wool-buyer's guard who subsequently refused to pay for it. It was described as "no common woodsman's tool" with a "broad half-moon blade on one side of the head and a curved spike on the other". Luhhan had given it to Perrin some time in the past when he had caught Perrin practicing with the weapon and thought Perrin may as well have it than it sitting around useless.

Mat makes fun of Perrin for this, but Perrin suggests that it is useful to have some practice with a weapon. Little did they know that it would be needed in the future. Even before this, he had thought of the axe as being "wicked". Perrin first kills men with the axe when he and Egwene encounter the Children of the Light somewhere east of Shadar Logoth.

Previously, he had doubted that he could ever attain the calmness of the Void that Rand and Lan talked about when wielding the sword and he is conscious that his play practice was nothing like having to wield it for real.
