Perrin Threnhold

Perrin Threnhold became the Viscount of Kirkwall in 9:14 Dragon.
== Background ==
Perrin used the chains extending from "the Twins" at Kirkwall's harbour to block the Waking Sea passage and charge large fees from Orlesian ships. Orlais threatened invasion, and the Divine Beatrix III, as a friend to the Orlesian emperor, used the templars to pressure Perrin. In response, in 9:21 Dragon he attempted to expel the templars from Kirkwall. His army of hired mercenaries stormed the Gallows, and Knight-Commander Guylian was arrested and executed. Templars led by Meredith Stannard retaliated by storming the Viscount's Keep. The captain of the Kirkwall City Guard quailed before the templars—and to prove his own innocence, the captain asserted that the Viscount had acted unlawfully and in turn had him arrested. Perrin was tried and imprisoned by Grand Cleric Elthina and died from poisoning two years later.Codex entry: Knight-Commander Meredith
