Name: Perrin Duré, Capitaine de Corvette
Age: 24
Race: d’Angeline (Azzalle)
Gender: Male
Height: 6’2”
Home Province: Azzalle
Natal: Eighth week of Summer
Appearance: Dark brown hair that lightens with time in the sun perfectly offsets Perrin’s strikingly blue eyes. Well built and with a casual grace, Perrin will never be mistaken as anything but d’Angeline. His fine features might give the impression of nobility, but one must only look at his hands to know he has spent his life working.
Personality: Intense is the word that comes to most people’s lips when trying to describe Perrin, quickly followed by dedicated. His smile, when won, is true and as bright as the sun, easily able to melt hearts. While not studious, he has a quick mind and takes easily to the areas that interest him. He is never as happy anywhere as he is on the sea though, the sound of the ocean a match for that of the blood in his veins.
History: Perrin is the grandson of Evrilac Duré of Trevalion, who with his men kept the vigil at Pointe des Soeurs for Ghislain no’ Trevalion and were the first to notice the signs that the original Master of the Straits had passed. The skill with which Evrilac safely carried Phèdre to the Three Sisters was passed to his son and then grandson, both becoming accomplished sailors. Perrin’s father Stefan rose to the rank of Amiral before retiring. Perrin’s mother Ivy is the youngest daughter of the Lord Willem de Noir of Azzalle. She and Stefan were introduced through one of their parents' mutual acquaintances and got on well enough that their marriage was agreed upon by all parties. Stefan spent most of his time at sea, leaving Ivy to raise Perrin in the early years of his life. From the beginning she knew that her son would be expected to follow in his father’s footsteps, and did all she could to prepare him from the beginning. Azzalene pride ran deep in Ivy and she would not have her son be anything but the best. At age nine Perrin was given his first position on a ship and since then he has spent more time on sea than land. He rose through the ranks with a speed that made his parents proud and caught the eye of many senior officers.
At 24 and a Capitaine de Corvette (Ship-of-the-line Captain),he has been given command of his first major ship. He is in the City while the ship’s construction is finished.
Personally, Perrin has many friends and while he’s had more than enough opportunities with women he has never had a true romantic relationship. In fact, and this is known to almost no one, Perrin has never actually bedded a woman. His focus is the sea and how he can protect and serve his beloved nation.
