Duke Perrington

Duke Perrington

For six books the Duke was the King's brutish, red-faced right hand. There was no Duke — there hadn't been for decades.

Duke Perrington is the Duke of Morath and the King of Adarlan's cousin and chief ally in Throne of Glass — outwardly a cold, power-hungry general. He is the hollowed-out disguise of the Valg King Erawan, worn until it wears out.

What he covets

Everything the thing beneath him wants.

There is no Perrington to want anything — only the king wearing his face.

  • Adarlan's power

    The empire's reach, held through a borrowed name.

  • Morath's rise

    A fortress turned forge, breeding the horrors to come.

  • The disguise

    A man's skin, worn long enough that no one looked underneath.

  • Erawan's dominion

    The same as his master's — because he is his master.

What he wants

What wears the man

Perrington is a mask, and the thing behind it is a Valg king. What he wants of Adarlan and Morath is only the near edge of what Erawan wants of everything. The Duke was never the point.

Morath His war-forge MorathA duke's fortress in the mountains that stopped being only a fortress — the walls rising higher, the forges burning deeper, an army taking shape for a war no one had declared. And the lord who raised it was already more mask than man, the thing beneath his skin quietly building its own dark future, stone by stone.Enter Morath

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
