Biography

Early Life

Earlier, before Talia has her morning tea with her grandmother, Devin, who works as a blacksmith under Barbar, the village blacksmith in Elden, warns her about "Mad Avrail" and that she shouldn't look at her in the eyes. But then he shrugs it off and says that he was only joking. Joining Talia's Party

When Talia asks for someone to accompany her to the mainland, Devin volunteered, saying that he "won't allow one of our women to go into the mainland alone". This earned him respect from fellow smith Billy, who says that Devin is braver than him, though this line also earned Devin contempt from fellow smith Jared, who says that Devin is a fool.

Lidia, Devin's sister, also opposes, but Devin pays no attention, saying that "my sister's fights are her own." Talia's grandmother approves of Devin, saying, "Devin Perry, see that no harm comes to my granddaughter!"

Personality

Devin Perry is a stalwart friend, although he can be a little hast in his actions, as when Lord Zorom kidnapped the princess, he vounteered to go after her, and save her from Lord Zorom, without giving it a second thought.

Relationships

Talia

Devin Pendragon is Talia's childhood friend.  He promises to protect her as she goes to fulfill Ahriman's Prophecy and destroy Ahriman.  Where Talia is mild and somewhat unwilling to fight Ahriman, Devin yearns for adventure and never wants to return home.  This may contribute to Devin's falling for Alicia rather than Talia (canon).

Ahriman's Prophecy (AP): Though the canon of the Aveyond universe has Devin marrying Alicia, taking Thais' throne, and giving birth to Rhen Pendragon, within the game AP, the player can have Devin can marry Talia.

Aveyond: In Aveyond, Talia takes Devin to the Dreamworld after finding him as a hermit in the woods.  They can spend the rest of their days together because Devin becomes a druid.

Alicia

Ahriman's Prophecy (AP): Alicia is Devin's fellow adventurer and then lover (canon).  In AP, the player can marry the two through a series of actions.  Devin admires Alicia's boisterousness, and the two quarrel, sometimes playfully and other times not.  Alicia challenges Devin's conventional idea that effeminate princesses fall for brave knights; Alicia is something of a knight herself, and possibly a feminist character.

Aveyond:  Alicia is killed during Ahriman's return to Aveyond, and the throne of Thais is left empty when Devin is magically transported to a cabin in the woods.  However, Alicia and Devin's daughter, Rhen, remains to challenge Ahriman.  Rhen takes after Alicia's strength and both her parents' talents with swords.

Jack

Devin initially considers Jack to be street scum, a lowly thief.  Whereas Devin takes the high road of morality, Jack lives by deceit and cleverness, which Devin thinks cowardly.  Jack in turn finds Devin dull and pompous.  This is a typical duality between the two characters' archetypes.
