PERSONALITY;;
Although torn from all glory, Peregrine still has something that resembled the dignity of a prince. He still walks and talks like a member of a royal family, although he’s learned that littering his speech with slang and profanity will help him blend in with the other misfits. That’s just the thing: Peregrine hates blending in. He loves being the center of attention and will go to great lengths to get it. He’s intelligent, well-educated and witty. He used his often sarcastic sense of humor to win himself friends at Ioralta Academy. He’s energetic and he rarely ever tires. He’s tough and quick-witted and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, but he’s still a prince, and he’s not about to let you forget it.

HISTORY;;
Peregrine was born on the eve of his elder brother’s passing. The boy had been just seven, but he was adored by all those who looked upon him. Ever since then, everyone who saw the new prince, saw him through a shadow and since his birth, he had been ignored while the mourning of his elder brother took place. It seemed that he developed a need to command attention around him.

Growing up as heir to the throne of Eacharnach, Peregrine was well-educated. He was on the back of a horse before he could walk and became an excellent horseman. He was taught how to sing, read and write music and play several different instruments, (the lute, the harp, flute and a new instrument from Gaothaidh called the piano) as was the custom of his people. He spent his youth reading the great literature of his and other kingdoms, studying art history, learning how to paint and sculpt and appreciate theater. He even spent some time on the stage himself. The young prince was a graceful dancer and it gave him an outlet for all of his excess energy. Although Eacharnach was not a military state, Peregrine was a keen swordsman and archer and knew how to box, as well as survival skills, such as hunting and tracking. At the age of fourteen, he was sent to Ioralta Academy.

Being the fiery prince that he was, Peregrine was infamous for getting into duels with others and even outsmarting some of his teachers. He was clever, hungry for knowledge, and even hungrier for attention. He would have been expelled, but you just can’t go expelling the crown prince of Eacharnach without starting a scuffle, so one of his teachers, a leading scientist from Gaothaidh, commented that he would have become a great king had he been born in his country.

His seven years at Ioralta Academy complete, Peregrine returned home to the Castle Freumhach, but he was met with an unfriendly welcome. Mere days after his return, his younger brother, Pandion, took action on the plan he had been hatching for months. He slaughtered their father in his sleep before coming to Peregrine’s bed. A violent fight ensued before Peregrine jumped out his window into the moat and managed to sneak off the premises. Unfortunately, Pandion was clever, and framed Peregrine for the murder of their father, King Falcon (the man had a thing for naming his sons after birds) and hours later, he was arrested by constables and thrown into prison. Pandion was arranging for his execution, but his mother, believing Pandion’s story, but not wanting to see either of her son’s die, locked Peregrine up with a group of convicts destined by Riasglach, leaving a man who closely resembled him to die in his place. To this day, Pandion believes his brother was executed. No one knows what happened to Kestrel, but Peregrine still fears the worst.
Once a handsome Prince Charming, Peregrine became a bedraggled swamp rat, living off vermin and molding bread, fighting off suspicious characters and sleeping with a crude knife that he had fashioned out of rock and stone. Of course he wants what’s rightfully his and the knowledge that an innocent man whom he had never even met before he had died for him, weighs heavily on him every day. But he’s not going to stay here, in Risglach, in this hellhole. He’s going to find a way out, if it’s the last thing he ever does.
