He is stocky, strong, with
thick, curly brown hair, and his eyes were a deep, dark brown but have changed
and become bright yellow, even golden. This earns him the nickname
"Goldeneyes". They glow in the dark, catch the light and often give
Perrin Aybara a wolfish appearance as well as letting him see much further distances
than a normal human being.
Perrin with Hopper and Dapple |
Perrin prides himself on
always thinking carefully about difficult situations, attempting to see them
from multiple angles in order to seek out possible solutions. This means that
he takes longer to make important decisions than the other characters, but he
is usually better-off for it. Perrin is under the erroneous impression that his
quiet and careful thinking causes people to believe he is slow of wits, when in
fact the opposite is true.
Perrin has wide shoulders
and strong arms gained from his hours working as a blacksmith's apprentice. He
is tall, being only half a head shorter than Rand al'Thor.
Rand al'Thor |
Perrin was trained to be a
blacksmith before being forced to leave Emond's Field with Moiraine Damodred
and his friends. He is recognized as a ta'veren by Moiraine, although he tries
to deny himself any importance.
Moiraine Damodred |
After becoming separated
from Moiraine, Perrin and Egwene al'Vere attempt to get to Caemlyn when they
meet a man in the woods named Elyas Machera. Elyas is a Wolfbrother, a man who
had wolf-like abilities and could speak with them telepathically. He informed
Perrin that his wolf companions recognized the latent ability in him as well,
and introduced him to the wolf pack, which included Hopper and Dapple. Perrin's
wolf name is Young Bull.

Dapple |
Communicating with the
wolves changed Perrin somewhat. The irises of his eyes are now gold; he can
see, hear and smell better than any man, even to the point of smelling the
emotions people are feeling. He can communicate in a form of telepathy with
other wolves, summoning them to battle, although this is initially unpleasant
for him. He can also enter the World of Dreams easily. On a number of
occasions, Perrin seems to accept the wolf within himself, using his axe to
kill his enemies in what seems to be a ferocious and instinctual manner. When
he accepts this side of himself, he is described as a powerful and frightening
warrior.
While following Rand's
trail to Tear with Moiraine Damodred, Lan Mandragoran, and the Ogier Loial, he
met a man in a small town whose brother was a Wolfbrother. Perrin went to see
this man, who had to be locked in a shed and was dangerous to everyone. The man
had gone too far with his abilities and forgotten his human side. He acted as
if, and believed he was, a wolf. Perrin fears the same fate, although he has so
far kept his powers in check. Also on that journey, he met a young Saldaean
woman, a Hunter of the Horn, who called herself Faile; in the Old Tongue, this
name means "falcon". This bothered Perrin immensely, because of a
viewing received by Min Farshaw that he would meet a hawk and falcon, both
female, who would 'perch on his shoulders.' He saves Faile in Tel'aran'rhiod
when she is caught in a trap set by the Black Ajah that is meant for Moiraine.
He finds Faile by entering the Wolf Dream and with the help of Hopper, who was
killed in an earlier book by Whitecloaks, and now exists in Tel'aran'rhiod.
This also marks the beginning of his romantic relationship with Faile.
Loial |
Soon after, Perrin decided
to investigate rumors that Whitecloaks had been terrorizing the Two Rivers
people as a result of their relationship with him and Rand. With Loial, Faile,
and his Aiel friends Gaul, Bain and Chiad, they set out to Emond's Field to
find Perrin's family dead, and not only Whitecloaks, but Trollocs in the area.
He united the Two Rivers region and repelled both forces. Once he began to
influence the people living in the Two Rivers region, they began calling him
Lord Perrin Goldeneyes, much to his consternation.
After his wife Faile was
kidnapped. After the Maidens with him take some Shaido prisoners they are put
to the Question. Perrin wants nothing to do with this and attempts to merely
question them instead. He is mocked for this and realizes he will get no
answers. In response, and utterly level-headed about it, he shears off one of
the Shaido's hands and threatens to remove all their hands and feet and leave
them as beggars in a village unless they talk.
After the battle at
Malden, Perrin realizes how he has failed the people following him. He starts
to enter the wolf dream more often in an attempt to learn what he needs. He
reaches out to Hopper to help teach him, but Hopper refuses until Perrin starts
to think first before leaping.
Meanwhile, Perrin had been
training with Hopper in the Wolf Dream, which he finds out is actually the
world of dreams for everyone. During this time, Perrin learns to control the
dream while also finding the balance between himself and the wolf inside of
him. In one training session, Perrin leads a group of wolves on the hunt of a
white stag. As Perrin goes in for the kill he is knocked away by Hopper, who
informs him that if he kills it here, it will die the last death. During
another training session, Hopper takes Perrin to Caemlyn in the wolf dream.
There he shows Perrin the nightmares of the humans who dream in that place and
how Perrin can use these as a tactic to use against Slayer. Then they both
shift to Dragonmount where all the other wolves have gathered. Perrin and Hopper discover that Slayer has
created a large, purple dome around Perrin's camp, visible only in the dream
world, which is preventing them from Traveling in the real world. Perrin
confronts Slayer and finds the device creating the barrier - a Dreamspike
ter'angreal. Perrin takes the spike and begins fleeing with, removing the
barrier from around the camp and letting his army Travel again. With Slayer in
close pursuit of Perrin, he takes the confrontation to Tar Valon.
It is here where Perrin
and Slayer engage in an intense game of cat-and-mouse. Slayer manages to seize
the Dreamspike from Perrin. Perrin accidentally stumbles on the battle between
Egwene and her allies and the Black Ajah inside Tel'aran'riod. Egwene tries,
and fails, to bind Perrin in chains for his own safety. He breaks through with
ease, noting the difference in strength between them in the World of Dreams.
Perrin then saves Egwene from a balefire attack, much to her bewilderment, and
resumes the fight with Slayer.
Slayer shoots Hopper with
an arrow, dealing a killing blow. Enraged, Perrin knocks Slayer into a
nightmare coming from the White Tower, where Perrin is more skilled due to his
training with Hopper. Perrin manages to steal the Dreamspike back, stabbing
Slayer, and throwing the ter'angreal into a rift of lava, destroying the item
for good. Perrin then flees after a painful final parting with Hopper.
After he awakens, Perrin's
army Travels away from the proximity of the Whitecloak army. In order to ease
his own mind and distract him, Perrin begins working in the forge. Neald keeps
the metal hot with saidin while he works, and Perrin comes to realize that he
has the responsibility to lead these people, whether he ever wanted to or not.
When he's done forging, he finds that he's created a large battle hammer and
that Neald had used saidin to align the matrix, creating the first
power-wrought weapon in centuries, which Perrin names Mah'alleinir. This
fulfills the Prophecy of the Wolf King.
Finally, Perrin forges a power-wrought hammer with Neald and leaves his
old hammer behind. He feels sorry to leave behind the blacksmith's hammer, but
he knows that he is no longer a blacksmith and that now he wields the hammer of
a king.
And now how I believe that
both Bran Stark and Gendry were based upon Perrin:
Gendry is a blacksmith
apprentice for master Tobho Mott in King's Landing. When Gendry was old enough,
an unknown lord paid his apprentice fee so he could learn to be a blacksmith;
he does not know he is a bastard son of King Robert I. Gendry is of a similar age as Robb Stark.
Tall and very muscled, he has blue eyes and thick, black hair. When he grows a beard, it is also thick and
black. He is stubborn, and easily confused. Gendry was born in King's Landing
not knowing who his father was. His mother was a worker at an alehouse who died
when he was still a young boy. All he remembers of her was that she had blonde
hair. Tobho Mott, a master smith, took him on as an apprentice after being paid
double the customary fee by a man who concealed his identity. It is possible
that this man was Varys, using one of his disguises.
- Where
Perrin is only believed to be slow of wits Gendry was actually kind of given
these traits. When thinking out a problem both also took a slow strained process.

When Eddard Stark
investigates the death of Jon Arryn, he meets several people who had met with
Arryn shortly before his death, including Gendry. At once he sees the similarity
with Robert Baratheon and recognizes that Gendry is his bastard. Eddard tells
Tobho Mott that if Gendry ever shows interest in wielding a sword, he should
send him to Eddard. Gendry has shown promise as a smith and made a helmet in
the shape of a bull. Eddard compliments the helmet, offering to purchase it,
but Gendry refuses, to the shame of the master smith.
- The comment
that Ned Stark about sending Gendry to him if he ever shows interest in
wielding a sword I believe comes from the fact that Perrin hated using tools of
violence.
Ned Stark |
Jon Arryn |
After Eddard Stark's fall
and eventual execution, arrangements are made for Yoren of the the Night'sWatch to take Gendry to the Wall with him. Gendry travels north with Yoren and
thirty other recruits, including a disguised Arya Stark, Lommy Greenhands, Hot Pie, Jaqen H'ghar, Rorge, Biter, and others. Not far from King's Landing they
are stopped by several gold cloaks, who demand that Yoren give up Gendry as he
is wanted by Queen Regent Cersei Lannister. Yoren refuses, and with his
recruits chases off the gold cloaks.
- Like Gendry
Perrin was also forced to flee his home because he was wanted by the Dark One.

Later, near an abandoned
town by the God's Eye, the recruits are attacked by soldiers led by Ser Amory Lorch. Yoren is killed and Gendry is one of the few to escape, along with Arya,
Lommy, and Hot Pie. Whilst on reconnaissance with Arya, Gendry confronts her
about being a girl. He eventually has the truth out of her and is embarrassed
by how crass he had spoken to her when she was in fact a lady. Gendry is
captured later by soldiers led by Ser Gregor Clegane. The soldiers spare his
life, since a smith is useful. After Raff the Sweeting kills Lommy, they are
taken to Harrenhal, where Gendry works as a smith. When Arya decides to escape
from Harrenhal, however, she persuades Gendry and Hot Pie to join her.
- Perrin also
is surpried like Gendry in that he has Queen Morgase Trakand travelling with
him under the guise of Maghdin Dorlain who acts as a maid to his wife Faile. They also travel together to their mutual benefit.

While traveling in the
direction of Riverrun, Arya, Gendry, and Hot Pie are captured by the
brotherhood without banners. At the Peach in Stoney Sept, Gendry declines
sleeping with Bella. Gendry is impressed with Thoros of Myr's description of
the ideals of the brotherhood, and decides to join them. He is knighted by Lord Beric Dondarrion, thus becoming Ser Gendry, knight of the hollow hill.
- In the Wheel of Time: Perrin is captured by the Whitecloaks and later escapes. He returns to his home in the Two Rivers and is later proclaimed Lord Perrin Goldeneyes. Unlike Gendry when Perrin encounters The Prophet of the Dragon he finds him a religious zealot and not to be trusted.

Brandon Stark, typically
called Bran, is the second son of Lord Eddard Stark and Lady CatelynTully. He has four older siblings—Robb,
Jon, Sansa, Arya—and one younger—Rickon. Like his siblings, he is constantly
accompanied by his direwolf, Summer, with whom he shares a strong warg
connection.

Catelyn Stark |
Jon Snow |
Rickon Stark |
Summer |
- In the Wheel of Time Perrin's eyes turned golden as a result of his connection to the wolves. Does Game of Thrones give a nod to this fact by the eye's of those who warg taking on the characteristics shown below:
Bran "warging" |
Orell "warging" |
Bran is a sweet and
thoughtful boy, well-loved by everyone at Winterfell. He has a fascination with
climbing and exploring along the walls and ramparts of the castle. Lady Catelyn
once jested that Bran could "climb before he could walk", however,
his climbing often distresses her. Like his siblings, he is also dutiful and
tough-minded, as well as possessing a propensity for adventure and excitement.
His half-brother Jon fondly thinks to himself that Bran was always
"stubborn and curious", and in like manner constantly wanted to join
in the play of the older boys, believing himself an adult at seven. However, he
becomes more serious and contemplative due to his increasingly worsening
situation after his fall. Bran is
constantly accompanied by his direwolf, whom he names Summer, with whom he
shares a strong warg connection. He is later revealed to also possess the
greensight, meaning he often has dreams that seem to be prophetic.
- Again
Perrin's wolf dreams are also prophetic
Winterfell |
When King Robert Baratheon
and the older men leave on a hunting trip, Bran impulsively decides on a
climbing expedition. During this expedition he passes a window through which he
sees Queen Cersei Lannister and her brother Ser Jaime making love. He is
shocked after being spotted and loses his grip, almost falling before being
caught by the Kingslayer. Jaime then pushes him from the window, intending to
kill him to keep secret the incestuous love affair, but Bran survives and
enters a coma. While Bran is comatose, an
attempt is made on his life by an unnamed catspaw. Lady Catelyn delays the
assassin long enough for Bran’s direwolf to arrive and tear out his throat. In
the meantime, during the coma, Bran has many visions, including a hazy memory
of his falling from the tower and a three-eyed crow that tells him it can teach
him to fly. With the crow's guidance, Bran wakes and immediately names his
direwolf Summer. Bran is crippled from the fall and unable to walk, but the
crow tells him that he is the winged wolf bound in chains. After he wakes, he
learns much northern lore from Maester Luwin and Old Nan.
- Three-eyed
crow IMO can be simply replaced with wolfbrother in The Wheel of Time. In the Game of Thrones Jojen Reed and the
three-eyed crow act as Elyas and Hopper in the Wheel of Time.
- When Perrin
was engaged in a skirmish with the Whitecloaks Hopper saved him by laying down
his life for him. They make a comment on
making him into a rug. This is the where
I believe the comment from Cersei saying "The king I'd thougth to wed
would have a laid a wolfskin across my bed before the sun went down."
comes from.
Later, Bran has a dream of
his father in the crypt of Winterfell. He ventures there with Osha, finding
nothing. Rickon also reveals that he dreamt the same dream last night. Almost
immediately after leaving the crypts, Maester Luwin receives a raven-borne
message informing Winterfell of Ned's execution by King Joffrey's command
After Robb becomes King in
the North, Bran, as Robb's heir, becomes the Prince of Winterfell, and rules
the castle in his brother's absence. He befriends Meera and Jojen Reed,
children of his father's most trusted friend, Howland Reed. While sleeping, Bran frequently enters
Summer's mind (though he thinks he is simply dreaming) and begins to become
more bestial. Jojen recognizes Bran's ability as skinchanging, and instructs
him on how to use it properly. After learning of Bran's visions, Jojen claims
that if Bran goes north beyond the Wall, he can find the three-eyed crow from
his dreams. When Theon Greyjoy betrays
the Starks and captures Winterfell, Bran and Rickon hide in the crypts. To hide
the truth of their escape, Theon has two other children murdered and skinned by
"Reek" and proclaims them to be Bran and Rickon. Theon is betrayed by Ramsay Snow, the Bastard
of Bolton, who is not acting out of loyalty to the Starks. Outside of
Winterfell, men of House Bolton massacre those loyal to the Starks, burn the
castle, and take the surviving women and children to the Dreadfort. Bran and his companions emerge from the
crypts to find Winterfell in ruins. The brothers find a mortally wounded Maester Luwin, who advises their traveling party to split. Rickon and Osha set off in
the direction of White Harbor. Bran, Hodor, Meera and Jojen Reed set off north
to seek the three-eyed crow.
- Hodor IMO
comes from Loial the Ogier. Where Loial was always reading and very intelligent
Hodor was simple minded.

Bran, Meera, Jojen, Hodor,
and Coldhands continue their journey through the haunted forest in search of
the three-eyed crow. During his travels with the Reeds, Bran begins to become
infatuated with Meera, while Jojen grows thin and weak. The journey is long and
cold, and they suffer on the brink of starvation. The group is briefly
abandoned by Coldhands, who returns to them after killing oathbreakers of the
Night's Watch. To try and sate his hunger, Bran feasts on human flesh of the
deceased crows while inside Summer. Returning to his own skin, Bran eats some
meat that Coldhands has brought back with him, which Coldhands claims to be
pig. As they continue their journey into
the North, Coldhands' elk collapses and is butchered by the ranger and Meera
Reed for meat. Despite promising himself he would rather go hungry than feast
on a friend, Bran eats the meat twice; once in his own skin,and once in
Summer's. The steaks of meat from the elk sustain the group for seven days. In the depths of the haunted forest, they
find a hill on top of which lies the dwelling of the three-eyed crow. Coldhands
warns them that there are wights or White Walkers nearby, and Summer seems to
sense danger as they climb and finally reach the cave of the three-eyed crow.
The group are ambushed by wights just outside the cave’s entrance. Bran enters
Hodor's mind to fight off the wights, and sees a figure in the cave mouth
brandishing a torch, whom he at first believes is his sister, Arya. Seeing his
own body in danger, Bran slips back into his own skin, but blacks out and wakes
up again inside the cave. There the group meet a child of the forest, Leaf, who
reveals that she has saved them by burning the wights. However, the cave is
warded against White Walkers and wights, so Coldhands cannot accompany them
inside. Leaf takes them deeper into the cave, underneath weirwood roots and
across a floor of bones, until they reach a skeletal body sitting on a throne
made of roots - the three-eyed crow, the last greenseer. When Bran asks the
crow if he can fix his legs, the crow says that that is beyond his power.
Heartbroken, Bran's eyes begin to fill with tears, but the crow responds:
“ You will never walk again, Bran... but you will fly."
- Does Meera
somewhat come into play because of Perrin's relationship to Faile. Because of Martin's writing style I don't
really see them together but who knows.
Coldhands |
Leaf |
The three-eyed crow, who
Bran learns was named Brynden when he was young, then begins to teach Bran
about greenseeing and skinchanging. Bran is fed weirwood paste, which awakens
his greenseeing gifts. He then enters the weirwood roots around them and sees
his father, Eddard, through Winterfell's heart tree in the past.
Grief-stricken, Bran tries to speak to Ned, but all that is heard is a whisper
on the wind. The three-eyed crow
explains that he can look into the past through the weirwoods, but saw only
what he wished to see, his father and his home. The crow further says that
while Bran can view his father, he cannot speak to him.
Passages from the Books
referring to Perrin and how I believe they relate to the Game of Thrones:
What Min sees in her
visions concerning Perrin:
"The strongest things
I see about the big, curlyhaired fellow are a wolf, and a broken crown, and
trees flowering all around him."
- "and
trees flowering all around him" to me is the reason why IMO opinion that
Bran will take the place of Brynden Rivers as the three eyed crow enshrowed in
a wierwood tree.
Brynden Rivers the three-eyed crow with Bran Stark at his feet |
"The three wolves
were seldom seen. Each night they came to the fire for a time, and sometimes in
the day they showed themselves briefly, appearing close at hand when least
expected and vanishing in the same manner. Perrin knew they were out there,
though, and where."
- All wargs
seem to have an inane ability to know where their animals are Bran being no
exception.
"Even when the trees
dwindled to widescattered groves separated by great swathes of winterdead
grass, they were as ghosts when they did not want to be seen, but he could have
pointed a finger straight at them at any time."
- is this the
reason for Jon's wolf's name?
"In every dream he
remembered there was a point where he straightened from Master Luhhan's forge
to wipe the sweat from his face, or turned from dancing with the village girls
on the Green, or lifted his head from a book in front of the fireplace, and
whether he was outside or under a roof, there was a wolf close to hand. Always
the wolf's back was to him, and always he knew — In the dreams it seemed the
normal course of things, even at Alsbet Luhhan's dinner table — that the wolf's
yellow eyes were watching for what might come, guarding against what might
come. Only when he was awake did the dreams seem strange."
- Doesn't
Bran think like this also?
"In the distant night
the wolves howled the first thin sliver of the new moon toward the horizon, and
he shivered. Tomorrow would be time enough to worry about the wolves again. He
was wrong. They were waiting to greet him in his dreams."
- Again Bran
felt the same way.
"He flung out his
clenched hand as if throwing something; when his fingers opened, a raven
streaked at Perrin's face. Perrin screamed as the black beak pierced his left
eye ..."
- The three
eyed crow in Bran's dreams always seemed to peck at his "closed third
eye." within his dreams. Reminiscent of Perrin's dream and Ba'alzamon.
"That man was there,
somewhere in the mind picture that came from the wolves, but stronger by far
was a massive, wild bull with curved horns of shining metal, running through
the night with the speed and exuberance of youth, curlyhaired coat gleaming in
the moonlight, flinging himself in among Whitecloaks on their horses, with the
air crisp and cold and dark, and blood so red on the horns, and...
Young Bull."
- This IMO is
why Gendry is called the "Bull"
"There were moments
of astonishment so strong he almost thought it was his own; these wolves had
heard rumors, but they had not really believed there were twolegs who could
talk to their kind. He sweated through the minutes it took to get past
introducing himself — he gave the image of Young Bull in spite of himself, and
added his own smell, according to the custom among wolves; wolves were great
ones for formalities on first meetings — but finally he managed to get his
question through."
- Is this not
reminiscent of what Bran would do when he was inside Summer and he approaches other wolves?
“What is yours,”
Ba'alzamon said. The blackness swirling 'round him seemed mirthful. “You always
thought yourself greater than you were, Lanfear.”
- I belive
Bran will eventually be able to look upon what is happening in the here and now
when he wants to gain valualble information.
“Why did you show it to
me? What was it?” Emotions and images flooded his thoughts, and his mind put
words to them. What you must see. Be careful, Young Bull. This place is
dangerous. Be wary as a cub hunting porcupine."
- Bran will
also learn that he is not the only one who has this ability. I believe that he will find that agents of
the dark have the same ability as he does.
“I think it was one of
those wolf dreams you told me about — I'm sure it was; it must have been! — but
that doesn't make what I saw real."
- Bran has
already come to know that his wolf dreams do come true.
"Lan came to stand in
front of Perrin. “How did you know them, blacksmith?” he asked quietly. “Their
taint of evil is not strong enough for Moiraine or me to sense. Gray Men have
walked past a hundred guards without being noticed, and Warders among them.”
Very conscious of Zarine's eyes on him, Perrin tried to make his voice even
softer than Lan's. “I... I smelled them. I've smelled them before, at Jarra and
at Remen, but it always vanished. They were gone before we got there, both
times.” He was not sure whether Zarine had overheard or not; she was leaning
forward trying to listen, and trying to appear not to at the same time."
- As a
direwolf Bran can distinguish emotions through his sense of smell.
"There hasn't been a
Darkhound seen south of the Mountains of Dhoom since the Trolloc Wars."
- Before they
found the direwolf pups there hadn't been a direwolf sighted southo of the Wall
in 200 years.
"Before he could find
words, the door crashed back against the wall, and Moiraine stood in the
doorway, her face as pale and grim as death. “Your wolf dreams tell as truly as
a Dreamer's, Perrin. The Forsaken are loose, and one of them rules in Illian.”
- Again
Bran's wolf dreams come true just like Perrin's.
"Seizing his head,
she pulled his face into her midriff. “Your mother is dead,” she said quietly.
“Your father is dead. Your sisters are dead, and your brother. Your family is
dead, and you cannot change it. Certainly not by dying yourself."
- IMO this is
the reason that the Stark's were killed off in the Game of Thrones. Since Bran has Perrin's traits his family
would be the one to suffer this tragedy also.
“Hundreds and hundreds of
people have come in from north and south, from every direction, with their
cattle and their sheep, all talking of Perrin Goldeneyes's warnings."
- I believe
as the Game of Thrones progresses his warnings however they are given will be
taken as the gospel like that of Perrin.
"That was what wolves
called the Last Battle, Tarmon Gai’don. They knew they would be there, at the
final confrontation between the Light and the Shadow, though why was something
they could not explain. Some things were fated, as sure as the rise and fall of
the sun and the moon, and it was fated that many wolves would die in the Last
Hunt. What they feared was something else."
- Will the
direwolves also come out in force during the Last battle with the Others?
We know that the three Ta'veren in the Wheel of Time were Rand, Perrin and Matt. I believe the three Targaryen's (the dragon has 3 heads) are going to be Danny, Jon and Tyrion. Although Perrin and Gendry both have the characteristics of Perrin they are not going to end up being one of the three dragons IMO but anything can happen. Bran to me is more like the Pattern or the Wheel itself in how he will relate to the characters in the world that is the Game of Thrones.
Comments encouraged. Love to hear the idea’s of others.
Most believe that since I present my idea’s as “fact like” I’m not open
to change my viewpoints which is far from the truth. I simply look at the
information presented and go from there. If you can shine a light on
another way of thinking that opens the door to debate.
Why do you refer to aSoIaF as Game of Thrones? Why call a whole series by the name of the first book?
ReplyDeleteSimply because most people identity with the HBO show rather than the books
ReplyDeleteYet you draw your evidence from the books, not the show, so why shouldn't you mention the proper name?
ReplyDeleteSimply because most people that I know watch the show and have not read the books. Most are familiar with the Game of Thrones title and not ASOIAF. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." - Romeo and Juliet
