Who is Perrin Aybara

Perrin is one of the boys who learn that the Dark One is after, along with Rand and Mat. Perrin is a gentle giant, aware of his considerable size and strength. He is affected more than the other two boys by the dream of Ba'alzamon in Baerlon. When the group is separated in Shadar Logoth, the point of view changes to Perrin. He proves to be thoughtful and very practical. Egwene finds him and they flee the city together, only to get separated again when he falls into the river. Perrin swims across, forced to rest for the night and wondering what happened to Egwene. He finds her the next morning on his side of the river and they set out for Caemlyn together through the forest. They meet Elyas and Perrin learns he is a wolfbrother, able to communicate with wolves. Perrin is afraid of this ability and hides it from Egwene until he reluctantly accepts it. The wolves also guard his dreams against Ba'alzamon.
