History: He was born into a rich family. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert to a summer home near a ruined castle. He would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the desert due to the painful memories there. Peren took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up falchion and armor he uses now. He moves from town to town, unable to find a place to settle.
