Origins
For most of the canon, Perell's origins remain as nebulous as he is, but it eventually comes to light that Perell's status as a Wizard was not something he was born with, but not anything he had a choice with, either. He described his life from Before as ordinary-- He had a wife and children, and had a job as a ferryman within the Riverways Principality.

- He was in his mid-forties when he Became a Wizard. Per his description (and descriptions from the head librarian in the distant country of Makaal, Farah Marghani) there was a void in the magic within the world and the powers that be rushed to quickly fill the void-- and Perell himself was the answer. It was an excruciatingly painful occurence, as the very biology of his body had to shift to accommodate the sudden surge of magic in his system. Per canon discussion, this was only as painful as it was due to the fact that he was well into his adulthood and his body was used to being human. As it stood, he could barely accommodate the magic within himself...

- A small village took the brunt of this magical overload, when he inadvertently flash-froze it and everyone within it while he struggled with his newfound powers. Thus, he was unable to return home.

- Along the years, as he got used to his newfound powers, he met Aquaria (who had resided just a little north of the region he hailed from) and Morris Wadge. Although they differed in their opinions, they balanced each other and respected each other's talents and skills-- and appreciated each other on other levels as well.

- About 90-odd years before the start of the canon was an event known as the Exodus, wherein the wizards of the world forged an opening into a completely different plane of reality and left the world-- and left the energies of the world wholly unbalanced in the process. The wizards believed that they were being exploited for their talents by the general population and banded together in the Wizards First movement. Morris Wadge himself was among those who left, which left Perell feeling deeply betrayed and hurt.

- Because of the tension between Wizards and the whole of civilization, they were hunted down and imprisoned because they were deemed a danger to society. Perell was among those rounded up, and he was held in a disembodied form within a box made of unbreakable Wardstone-- completely isolated and even devoid of all sensory stimulation.

As the others in the cast have written more expansive histories. I will link them here with further commentary about Perell's role each season.

Season 1

The party is tasked by the Menders to take a mysterious stone box to the Vault, where it could be safely stored. The contents of the box were, at that time, unknown-- but it was heavily guarded by the Bullywogs, the sentient frog people who had ransacked the small village of Mudlark

Season 2

It wasn't too long before the party started feeling effects from transporting the Box. Influenced by Billie's presence as a amnesiac and disguised fairy walking through the world, Perell reawoke from dormancy and his own magic started seeping through and into the world outside of the Box. This manifested in Billie's actions and dreams, where he encountered a man that he could not see clearly on a hill underneath a lone tree-- the Lone Tree Hill, so to speak. It was the entity whom we later come to know as Pellar who spoke first, to apologize for his presence seeping through and influencing Billie enough to violently kill a crocodile which had attacked them.

Later, Billie dreamed of that man again-- this time properly introducing himself as Perell. He revealed himself this time, with a face that was neither young nor old and told Billie a story via the multitude of pictures that were sewn into the very fabric of his fine, multi-toned blue robes. He offered to teach Billie, to which Billie promptly asked if that would allow him to have a similar robe. While the answer was yes, they came to an impasse-- no decision was made on the mattter.

Unknown to Perell at the time was the fact that Billie was suffering more effects due to Perell's unwitting influence. The young boy had grown irritable and fatigued, and was prone to fits of uncharacteristic violence to the point that they consulted a local wise woman for advice. Since Magic could be dispelled and forced into another form through water, she advised that the only way to help Billie was to go to a nearby stream rumored to hold power and dunk him like a teabag in those waters. Thus, they made their way to do so-- but the results were dire.

The team was split in the process of rescuing Billie, and they lost Vyng's entire being to the Spirit World.

Season 3

After the incident in the river with Vyng's death, Tuck and Billie set out looking for a means figure out how to bring him back. This brought them to the Highspear Mall, where they had heard of a Ranger called Seathane Wick who could be of assistance. Seathane agreed to help-- as part of an exchange for matters that he needed to take care of.

As part of the arrangement, they have to protect the very fortune teller who knows how to send them into the Spirit World so they can take care of their individual missions-- Tuck and Billie to save Vyng, Seathane for personal matters. Before this trek, Billie has another dream of Perell, who explains what had happened at the river. It was all of his pent up negativity that had been affecting Billie up until that point-- and the manifestation of that negativity that had hurt Vyng. He offered to help Billie learn magic, but Billie understandably refused. Regardless, Perell said he would be around to help if he was needed.

And he was.

Later on, once they were properly in the Spirit World and facing obstacles they couldn't surmount alone, Billie called on Perell from his box. Being in the Spirit World, he could manifest properly for everyone-- but, without a body, he was forced to overtake the Koi Spirit, lest he lost himself to the ether. This was not a comfortable arrangement for anyone involved, and Perell needed to figure out on the fly how to make the fish body work for him by shifting its shape into different configurations, adding arms and legs as needed, and changing its mass or height to suit the situation at hand.

During this time Billie explained that Perell was connected to the Piss Monster that killed Vyng, Tuck tried to vent his frustrations on the Box (to no avail), and Perell explained that Billie is capable of great power-- but is frustrated himself that Billie doesn't seem to want to learn how to harness those abilities.

The conversation snowballed from there, with Billie complaining about the work and Seathane pointing out that those very abilities were what caused the ruined state of the world. If Perell wanted to help, he should help them find Vyng-- and a little bit of haggling led to Perell personally carrying Billie through the Spirit World as part of that exchange.

The interactions between Perell and Billie at this time consisted of Perell continuing to try to coax Billie into learning and Billie refusing-- but Billie instead being the one to help Perell figure out how to best utilize the Koi body and being his personal cheerleader with the more difficult attempts at shape shifting.

They did retrieve Vyng, with the assistance of the tree spirits. It was a combination of Vyng and Seathane's magic that allowed them to escape-- at a cost. Vyng's hands became crystal as part of the exchange, and Seathane volunteered to stay behind and allow Vyng to use his body to properly return back to their home.

Season 4

The party awakens to being bound and under the control of the very Menders who had originally hired them to transport the Box. They find out that several weeks had passed while they were in the Spirit World, and that the world had started to change due to their actions on the spiritual plane. Crocodiles were extinct, the lands were flooding, and the moon itself was fractured and broken due to the incident at the river. The Menders had no good reason to allow them another chance, but a quick negotiation set them back on course to the Vault-- under the watchful eye of Meers Foulsmith, the young lad who had guided them in Mudlark right at the start of their journey. The boy was now missing a hand due to the Bullywogs they had to fight in order to even retrieve the box and was obviously both inexperienced reluctant to even take part in a questionable mission.

Billie spent a lot of time sleeping during this time, where they talked more about magic, Billie's memory, and what they needed to do in the near future. Billie recalled his true nature-- that of a fairy-- and started to learn small tricks he could do with his innate magic. The first of these was switching the taste of rocks to cookies, but not changing their nature as rocks. This created a tempting situation when they started to run out of food... but rocks are not meant to be eaten, even if they taste like cookies.

They make it to a village, where they convince the locals to allow them to stay. During this time, Perell approached Vyng and Tuck with a warning that Billie was remembering his nature as a capricious fairy who could leave this realm at any time if he wanted, and that Vyng and Tuck needed to take a stronger hand with Billie if they wanted him to stay. Both Vyng and Tuck swore that they would do what was best for Billie and support him however they could.

The next day the set out to take care of the tasks given to them by the villagers to discover what had happened at a logging camp, and they were intrigued by a strange blue moss they discovered growing all around the encampment. Billie tried to eat it, Vyng discovered that alcohol repelled it, and Perell excitedly explained that it was magic moss, but would not provide more detail. They further discovered that the moss had turned various travellers into zombie-like creatures, which prompted them to ask Billie to turn the water ways into... milk, because milk has the same effect on halflings as alcohol. Another attempt turned the waterway into wine.

They took back a fanny pack they had acquired along the way, which contained gold, a ruby, and a Forever Tent with multiple rooms inside of it. Once they were inside, Perell reappeared to help investigate-- and discovered that the Tent was the handiwork of a former contact who appeared to be a rival, Morris Wadge. There was no small amount of bitterness in Perell's tone as he regarded the oil painted portrait Morris had placed of himself in the foyer. While inside the tent together, they discussed what to do about the Vault-- and they as a group determined that they didn't have a choice but to go there, despite Tuck and Vyng having doubts about their orders. They would be looked for if they failed to arrive. If they went, at least they stood a chance of trying to change something, or at least creating a believable cover.

Thus, leaving Meers behind on the shores of the lake where the Vault stood because it had an enchantment that prevented anyone who wanted to enter from even getting close, they arrived at their destination. Within the Vault they encountered the Chamberlain-- an magically enchanted automaton from before the Exodus, whose body was comprised of stained glass. They tried to lie to the Chamberlain, but ultimately they saw no way out except to reveal their hand. Once inside, they called upon Perell for one last conversation before the inevitable-- who begged the three of them to not hand him over. Having the Box he was contained within meant sentencing Perell to untold amount of time in total confinement, where not even his senses received any input. When prodded about not using his magic, Perell protested that he was magic-- but he could at least put his powers to good use.

Tuck, taking initiative, began to hand the box to Chamberlain, prompting Perell to continue his desperate plea-- and that was enough. Tuck, satisfied with the answer, destroyed the Box with his axe that was forged in the Spirit World. The whole move had been a test to see whether or not Perell would try to retaliate or betray them-- and, when he didn't, that was all Tuck needed to believe that Perell indeed meant well with his efforts even though he was branded as a dangerous element by the powers that be in the world.

Unfortunately, this caused the Chamberlain to attack. Billie's arm was broken before Perell had regained enough control of his body to move, disassembling the Chamberlain into dust by way of stopping it-- and collapsing under the strain of so suddenly using his magic and his body after nearly a century of confinement.

He healed Billie's arm, and they reassembled the Chamberlain under a new directive: lie to the Menders about what went down in the Vault that day, and insist that the Box it carried was indeed untampered with.

Now knowing that their time was limited, the party gathered Meers and ran. Although Meers was reticent about Perell's presence, he was quickly convinced to at least try to trust Perell when the wizard transformed the boy's hook hand into a fully functioning prosthesis, with working fingers that could hold and grab objects.

They set forth to Crystal Bay, to gather their bearings and plan their next move.

Season 5

Perell spent much of their time in Crystal Bay cloistered up within the Forever Tent. Having just emerged from the Box as himself, he was lacking in everything... including clothes. Besides that, the second anything magical was noticed in the vicinity around him, he would be captured and held for the crime of being a Wizard. Ultimately, Perell did convince them to loan him enough gold to buy some clothes so he could go around town and gather information. He returned-- with a gaudy outfit in leather and a hat decorated with a feather that cost more than the entire outfit combined.

Trouble followed the party as they righted wrongs along their path, but it truly came calling in the form of Allison-- a succubus, and Tuck's ex-lover. The Light Guard from Makaal, drawn across the Sea of Graves in response to the natural upheaval caused while the party recovered Vyng from the Spirit World and from Perell's existance outside of the Wardstone Box, was on a mission to eradicate any element their religion and society deemed 'unnatural' from the land. This included Allison, who was stuck in Crystal Bay and couldn't leave due to her own magical nature, and now Perell. The party negotiated with Ruby Chunesday, the captain of a local band of pirates, to help with Allison's escape as well as their own. Like everything, it came with a price. They had to do a favor for Ruby and free one of her vessels from the Custom's Office.

They did in a fit of chaos that destroyed the dock and multiple ships, but they secured the ships and fulfilled their part of the bargain. Even after Allison's status as a double agent for the Light Guard was revealed and their own fates put in jeopardy, they chose to do what was right and help Allison-- even though it hurt enough that Tuck told her with no room for misunderstanding that he never wanted to see her again after this.

The double dealings led to them discovering that the Menders were in communication with the Light Guard, and that there were multiple high order organizations who were after all of them. A clandestine meeting with Meers and a contact for the Menders, a strange bard called Jaunter, further revealed that Jaunter had been sabotaged by the water demon created by Perell's own anger and pain while he was in the Box-- Pellar. The team managed to seal Pellar in a vase, which they took great pains to keep with them so that this type of incident would not happen again.

Although Vyng and Billie managed to escape the trap set by Jaunter in that time with the aid of the Thunderbird that Vyng had bonded with, Tuck, Meers, and Perell were captured and interrogated by the Torch of Makaal-- a general and apparent prophet for the Church of Makaal and the God of Light, and a man imbued with strange powers that were akin to magic despite not being a Wizard.

The Torch made it clear that they were seeking one thing: the Wizard. Perell, overcome by fear, was frozen into silence by the notion of being sentenced to a similar imprisonment after he had just been freed. It was a last ditch moment when Meers spoke up-- claiming himself as the Wizard. This alone would have been enough to simplify matters and turn their efforts into a rescue mission, but Tuck threw a wrench into those workings by also declaring himself to be the Wizard.

All three were taken captive until they could sort the matter out.

During this time, Vyng and Billie go on a rescue mission themselves and end up separated-- and in time they all are forced to face the Icon of Truth. The entity, the paragon of all that was True, was forced into physical form by the use of an extremely old man as it's vessel, and appeared to everyone as what could be interpreted as the truest version of themselves. Everyone before the Icon was forced to admit their Truth:

Billie was the Springtime Fairy of the Endless Boughs
Vyng was the Spirit Walker and Prince of the Boreal Reach
Meers... was only trying his absolute best.
And Perell...

Was a Wizard.

Tuck, spared from the forced confessions by forces unknown, was able to see the reality of the situation through the lens of his spiritually attuned axe forged in the Spirit World-- and upon prompting divulged what he saw:

A slave.

Upon Perell's admission, pandemonium broke loose as the forces aboard the ship they stood on moved to capture him. The only line preventing this was the one that Tuck had scored across his own chest. While Tuck, Vyng, and Billie worked out a distraction, Perell used his transmutation magic to transform the body of the ship into mud-- and they escaped, back to the cove that was Ruby Chunesday's hideout.

It wasn't long before they were pursued.

Vyng, in a feat of his elemental mastery, rode the storm called up by his Thunderbird into battle-- and the sheer level of raw power and destruction it caused destroyed all the ships...

And split apart the team.

Season 6

After the debacle that was escaping Crystal Bay, Perell found himself separated from the party and set adrift towards the center of the Sea of Graves. The center of the sea itself was a massive amount of magical influence, and Perell was drawn inexorably in that direction due to his own magical presence upon the world. Like was recalling like-- he had no choice in the matter.

Unbeknownst to him at the time, Billie, Tuck, and Vyng had given chase to rescue Perell-- and, caught in the torrential storms that stirred the oceans, Billie lost the bag containing the Forever Tent (crafted by Morris Wadge) and the vase which contained the entity that was born of Perell's inner darkness, Pellar. With newfound freedom, Pellar did what was natural: sought out Perell, overtook both the Wizard's body and power, and made his way towards a monolith that was the grave of the Moon Goddess with intent upon using her power to wreak havoc upon the world.

It was a conjunction of spirit, fairy influence, and magic all brought upon a single point: Tuck's axe, forged by the efforts of himself and his friends in the spirit world, which freed Perell's body from Pellar's control--

But, severed Perell's connection to magic.

Perell himself, recovering from weeks spent with his body not even functioning in the capacity of a human, didn't notice immediately. However, he was frightened enough once he realized the truth that he promptly went to Vyng for help and advice.

He never should have been magic in the first place. None of this was supposed to happen.

After Perell's rescue, the party set forth to Makaal for a multi-layered task, to find out what was happening to damage Tuck's homeland so badly and to find a way to help Perell get his magic back.

Character Background

• History:
World History
Character History

• Core Relationships:

Fat Billie: Billie is Perell's sort of apprentice, sort of nephew, and someone that Perell will go out of his way to aid-- but finds himself on the receiving end of such aid more often than not. After decades spent in the isolation of the Ward Stone box which he was imprisoned in, Billie was his first point of contact-- the first voice he heard after decades of silence and darkness, and the first face he saw. It was initially desperation that had drawn Perell to Billie, since Billie's inherent fey magic was a pull upon Perell's own magic. Initially he sought to teach Billie... but quickly it became clear that Billie was 1) a poor student due to being emotionally like 9, but also 2) his nature as a Spring Fey was counter to any magic that Perell could teach him.

Rather, Perell has instead found that he's learning from Billie-- about friendship and trust, and he has started to see Billie as a reminder of the family he had lost over a century ago. In the Spirit World while they were rescuing Vyng, it was Billie who had called upon Perell and coaxed him to try.

As an anxious and mistrustful person by nature Perell had found that the kind and gentle encouragement from someone with the face of a literal child had become some of the greatest help he could have ever asked for.


Tuck: Perell is, in his words, an old man-- and a boring one who has caused more trouble than any good in recent years. Despite this, Tachoma Dhaume-- Tuck to his friends-- has always been more than willing to listen as best as he can, to offer rough love, and to throw himself into harm's way with the barest of warning for Perell's sake. If Billie was Perell's first point of contact with the world while he was inside the Ward Stone box, Tuck was the second. It was Tuck's axe which cracked the unbreakable Ward Stone in the first place, Tuck who offered the hard questions and the 'what the hell, man' commentary, and Tuck who was the one who made the last second call to finally break the box and release Perell from the sentence of endless solitude in a literal sensory deprivation chamber.

Even while he was frozen and quaking in fear upon being found out as a Wizard by the very authorities who wanted him dead, it was Tuck who slashed a line across his own chest and declared himself the line that wouldn't be crossed for Perell to stand behind.

Although they argue and snark at each other, they share drinks and teasing discourse as well as anyone else. Tuck is infuriating at the worst of times-- but also the stolid force which Perell has learned to trust with his very life.


Vyng: The relationship between Vyng and Perell is curious compared to the other two in the party, considering that they are both at once peers from different fields while also respecting the fact that Perell is the reason why Vyng died in season 2 in the first place. With Perell as the last remaining Wizard and Vyng as the esteemed Spirit Walker who has done impossible feats himself, Vyng is the one person Perell feels comfortable talking to regarding magic and asking for help if he needs it. They have a degree of snark that they share as well-- but there is obvious fondness there despite what they both tell themselves. And, when the party saved Perell from himself in the Sea of Graves, it was Vyng that Perell went to first with his worries and fears about losing access to his magic.

There is mutual respect between them. They each recognize what the other is capable of, both good and bad. After everything in the Sea of Graves, Vyng took up tai-chi-- and walked Perell through the basics of it up on the rooftops in an effort to help Perell feel more comfortable in his body and himself after everything changed for the both of them.

Ultimately, Perell has come to hold these three clowns in the highest regard. In another time, he might even consider them to be like the family he was forced to leave behind centuries ago. Howerver...


Aquaria and Morris Wadge: these two are the ones whom Perell will always pine after. Existing largely in backstory related details, it slowly becomes apparent that Aquaria, Morris, and Perell were more than just friends who happened to share notes and work on their intricate magic together. They had a notebook which they shared among them for their most private and secret notes, which they transported between each of their towers when they had to be separated for their own work. Although Perell frequently mocks Morris' obsession with technique and architecture, there is obvious hurt in his tone-- and, upon learning that Aquaria was still alive but in grave condition, he broke down into tears of grief and joy.

These three were more than just friends. They were an item-- an item based on intellectual and emotional intimacy, and what we'd refer to as a Polycule. When Morris chose to join the Wizards First movement in the Exodus, Perell nearly broke from his anger and the pain of the apparent betrayal.

The key differences here, despite their closeness, is clear once their origins were compared. While Aquaria manifested into the world fully formed as a Wizard, and Morris was born and raised from childhood with the powers of a Wizard, Perell didn't become one until well into his adulthood.

To Perell, being a Wizard, First was not as important as the friendships he gained and the things he learned about himself and the world along the way. This did not impede their closeness-- and in some ways, their differing perspectives likely only made them closer.

Character Personality Through Key Moments

(2+) Positive Experiences:
+ There is no simple way to state that Perell is a Wanted Man. Wizards are all wanted across the world by and large due to their role in the Exodus, which greatly destabilized the world as a whole by both rendering the technological wonders they created inert and by upsetting the balance of energies in the cosmos as a whole when they left for an entirely different reality. Perell was captured and imprisoned in the midst of that Exodus for the act of merely existing, and was held in a Ward Stone box for decades-- a situation where he was kept from all sensory experiences and even his own body. When Vyng, Tuck, and Billie were tasked with transporting his containment box to the Vault within the lands of the Principalities, they thought nothing of it... until Tuck accidentally cracked the box and allowed Perell his first contact with a person in nearly a century through the intermingling of his own magic and Billie's fairy magic.

Unfortunately, his frustrations, angers, and ambitions also seeped out and possessed Billie in this process.

The process of ridding Billie of these darker impulses, which stemmed unwittingly from Perell, ultimately ended with Vyng's death-- and sparked a whole escapade into the Spirit World to save Vyng. Billie called upon Perell for help, and working together they managed to bring their friend back. However, due to their interactions in the Spirit World, Perell was able to speak to Tuck and Vyng in the same illusory, disembodied manner in which he could speak to Billie. A call out from the Menders, the organization who hired the trio, set them back on track to the Vault-- and during this time Tuck and Vyng got to know Perell a little better as well.

Perell knew that his options were limited, and he knew that Tuck and Vyng had no choice but to follow orders without making themselves Wanted as well. However, once they entered the Vault Perell found his magical influence starting to dwindle. It had also become clear that the party was having doubts as to their mission, but were still going through the motions of making like they were following through until they found an opening.

Until the very last second.

Upon encountering the Chamberlain-- the stained glass magical automaton guarding the Vault, they no longer had any reasonable choices. They let Perell speak, so he could know what was happening at least-- and Perell begged them not to do it. All of those decades in isolation, with only his thoughts and feelings as company, were a personal hell. Upon being asked whether or not he could refrain from using his magic, Perell explained: "I am magic."

There was no way he could be what he wasn't.

Tuck, with an ulterior motive, passed the box off to the Chamberlain before Vyng and Billie could do anything. And Perell begged: "Please, Tachoma. I could do so much..."

So much to help fix the world that his people had endangered by destabilizing it's balance.

This was enough for Tuck. Satisfied that Perell was at least not going to betray them, which in impressive tactical planning had been Tuck's motive all along, he destroyed the box containing all of the magic and all of the energy that was Perell.

And he wasn't disappointed. Perell without missing a beat saved them from the programmed directives of the centuries old piece of magical technology, healed little Billie's broken arm, and made good on his word to use his magic to help instead of cause more harm.

+ The debacle in the Sea of Graves is multi-faceted for Perell, but the key point to take away is that he had lost all hope by the time Billie-- in his Spring Fairy form-- found him sealed away in the darkness. The incidents in Crystal Bay were among the most terrifying in his life, because a lone wizard being hunted by the full force of the law barely stood a chance, even with the likes of Vyng, Tuck, and Billie at their side. He had used the whole of his power to fight the unstoppable currents that drew him to the very center of the Sea of Graves due to his magical presence, but somewhere in the currents he had lost control of his body to the manifestation of his own inner darkness, which had been sealed away up until that point.

While Tuck fought the shadow that had taken over Perell's body and magic and Vyng went to negotiate aid from Ship Breaker, the King of the Thunder Birds, Billie-- or, the Fairy that was supposed to be Billie-- found his spirit, grasped his hand, and promised not to let go.

For the first time in what felt like far too long, Perell had found Hope.

Unbeknownst to him was Tuck and Vyng's discussion about not being able to choose Perell over Billie, who was being affected by the inherent magics of the Tower and becoming closer to his Fairy self, but also not being able to choose Billie over Perell. They had made a commitment when they released Perell from his imprisonment... and, despite all odds, they chose the impossible:

Not to break any promises.

Hopeless and caught in the grips of despair as he was, Perell found Hope in the fairy child who looked like Billie and chose to Trust that trio of clowns. For a Wizard who had been hunted down by the very people he tried to help and save decades prior, and for someone who was used to a heavy degree of privacy and secrecy, this was a terrifying move.

His trust was not misplaced.



(2+) Negative Experiences:

+ After being released from his bindings within the Vault, the rag-tag little team fled from the Menders to a little beach getaway destination in a place called Crystal Bay. Although the affairs within the vacation hot spot were a practice in a comedy of errors, the one thing which was not in error was the presence of the Light Guard from Makaal. A group of religious warriors devoted to the teachings of the God of Light, they were hunting for a variety of characters who broke the natural order, such as the Succubus Allison, who Tuck revealed to be his Ex... and Perell. They were captured despite their attempts to stay undercover and found themselves being questioned by the Torch of Makaal himself. With his political power, access to untold magics, and his unworldly abilities that put him in public regard akin to that of a Prophet, the Torch interrogated them: Where is the Wizard?

Perell, still newly released from his prison, froze in fear. Normally a chatty and loquacious man, words died on his tongue-- and it was young Meers Foulsmith, assigned to them by the Menders as both a guide and a minder, who didn't even fully agree to the circumstances which allowed Perell's release, who broke the silence... with the admission that he was himself the Wizard.

It was only Tuck's quick thinking to declare himself a Wizard as well which bought them more time, and yet--

It wasn't enough.

Before they could make a clean escape from the warship which had crossed the Sea of Graves to sit along the shores of Crystal Bay, the Torch of Makaal had brought out his secret leverage: The Icon of Truth.

Appearing as a terrible and empowered version of themselves before everyone's eyes the Icon compelled everyone to speak their truth. Billie revealed himself as the Spring Fairy despite not knowing this. Vyng revealed himself to be Prince of the Boreal Reach despite his hatred of his father and his peculiar stance in society as both a Half Elf and as the Spirit Walker.

Perell revealed himself to be the Wizard.

Pandemonium broke loose-- and, although they were able to make a temporary escape before one last encounter as they attempted to flee Crystal Bay, everyone had faced a cost.

Perell had publicly admitted himself to be the last Wizard in the land... and that he was, at heart, someone who was still deeply human and still possessed very human fears.

+ There is no way to talk about Perell without mentioning Pellar. After decades in literal isolation with nothing and no one but himself and his feelings, Perell's outrage and frustration at the injustice of his imprisonment, his sense of betrayal by Morris Wadge, and decades of loss and hurt had nowhere to go. As a result, Pellar was born.

An entity born of the wizard's darker impulses and ambitions, Pellar was the one who spoke to Billie first. Although in many ways Perell and Pellar are one and the same, it was ultimately Pellar who used Billie's body and his fairy magic to try to influence the world beyond the Box-- and the purging of Pellar and sealing him within an enchanted vase was ultimately what caused Vyng to die while in shapeshifted form and lose his body. It was only once Pellar was sealed away that the party could get to know Perell as the awkward and dorky nerd with a cheesy sense of fashion and humor that he was. However...

The vase that Pellar was sealed in was lost to the Sea of Graves.

After the debacle in Crystal Bay, Tuck, Vyng and Billie set forth to rescue Perell after he had been swept away. Unfortunately, it was Pellar who found Perell first. Overtaking the wizard's body, he forced the essence of the Perell-- his Spirit, essentially-- to the side while he used that body to create an army of Bollywogs within Aquaria's tower with the intent to destroy. It was only in calling upon Spiritual and Fey Energies, in tandem with the surge of Magic that Pellar had been collecting, that they were able to be rid of this entity once and for all.

At a Price: Perell no longer had access to his magic.

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers: Perell is a Wizard in a world where Wizards, pissed about how society took their abilities for granted, formed an inter-planar bridge to a different Reality about 80-odd years ago, in an event called The Exodus. His brethren who didn't leave were by and large captured-- and this renders Perell the last Wizard in his world (in his awareness, anyway).

As a Thaumaturgist, Perell specialized in transmutation magic. He used this talent to manipulate the fabric of reality, conducting such feats as repairing broken bones, reconstructing magical automatons that were not of his creation, and even turning a wooden warship into mud during a crisis. His powers as a Wizard manifested late in his life without a shred of warning. 'A cosmic equation that I am not privy to was formed and I was the answer,' he said to Tuck, Vyng, and Billie when he was trying to explain his circumstances. It was a painful process which altered his very biology-- because, as a Wizard, the casting requires such focus and unbelievable force that his very body contorts during this process-- and he divulged that in the immediate aftermath he was unable to control his powers and flash froze an entire town.

Other feats he has conducted with this magic include rigging up intricate puzzles within dungeons for his friends, aiding his friends in the construction of each of their individual research towers, and even creating an entire sentient race of frog warriors known that eventually came to be called Bullywogs. The Bullywogs are exactly what they seem to be-- overly large bipedal frogs who can follow commands and, without a purpose, gained aggressive tendencies-- but, the creation of these frog creatures took literal decades. As an immortal who was given this unique boon after he had reached middle age, Perell knew well the boundaries and limits of Time.

Beyond this, Perell is a handy academic researcher who managed his own voluminous library and exchanged notes with his closest companions, Aquaria and Morris Wadge, across various parts of the world. During his lifetime before becoming a wizard, he was a Ferryman-- so we can infer that he understands the basics of navigation, sailing, and customer service. Additionally, he has mentioned that medical magic isn't outside his realm. Given how quickly and easily he healed a broken arm and how he intends to help the grievously wounded and held in magic stasis Aquaria-- it's not anything insignificant.

Of note: Perell is starting to show signs of aging after not having access to his canon powers for several months as of the end of the most recent season. This will not effect Perell immediately, but he is starting to go gray

• Blood Type: Warmblood, with plans to eventually change to Darkblood if the opportunity arises
• Omen: A spectral Koi-- a reflection of how he overtook the Koi Spirit in the Spirit World due to not having his own body at the time. The Koi hates him because of forced transformations upon the Koi Spirit in the Spirit World, which Perell had no choice but to do. This leads to the occasional watergunning of the Wizard.

• Blessed Day: March 27 (National Paella Day)
• Patron Pthumerian: The Moss King

• Blood Power Manifestation: Nothing yet. This will leave Perell immensely frustrated, as he is so used to being magic that not having anything even in a new world will deliver a blow to his confidence and sense of self. When the opportunity arises to change his bloodtype, his Darkblood powers will manifest in similar transmutation-like abilities as he has in canon.... with more uncontrolled whimsy and lots of frogs.
