Devin Pendragon

"As a mercenary, my job is to destroy the ones who threaten the peace of Avernum and give the residents of this land at least a little bit of hope that everything will be alright, that the world will change and become a better place to live in... for pay, of course."- Devin PendragonDevin "Perry" Pendragon the Second is the Protagonist of "Miracula Luxia: The Noble One". He is the only son of Edward and Mel Pendragon and brother of Uma and Nox Pendragon.
Blinded by the riches that he could earn by adventuring, Devin decided to become a mercenary not too long before the beginning of the Miniseries. He saw Avernum as the best place for adventuring and decided to go there to offer his services (And, hopefully, earn a few coins along the way).
== Personality ==
Devin is shown to be a very trusting person who believes in what other people tell him without many questions.
Although he is trusting, the young man is also suspicious whenever a shady character offers him a deal, no matter how big the sum of gold for the service is.
Unfortunately, Devin is also unable to truly judge the true value of every item that he is asked to recover, recovering the Demonslayer and giving it someone he does not know instead of helping to protect it from thieves, like the guards at the Castle.
Negatives aside, Devin is a very loyal and determined person, always ready to help fix the problems that he has caused and eager to destroy the enemies that tricked him in doing so. He is a very brave knight, just like his ancestors- Devin Pendragon the First and Alicia Pendragon and is not afraid to show it to his enemies.
He is eager to make friends whenever he can and greatly values the lives of everyone that he knows, especially those of his friends and family members.
== Abilities ==
As a mercenary, Devin is very fast on his feet, being able to easily evade the enemy blows. This gives him a great advantage against both slow and stationary foes, but makes him an easier target for enemies who can actually match his movement speed.
Devin's training in swordsmanship is excellent and it gets better with each battle, showing how skilled he really is.
Although he is very powerful, Devin does not know any spells. However, he secretly hopes to learn how to cast some simpler spells from a skilled teacher sometime in the future.
== Relationships ==
=== Edward Pendragon ===
Devin has a very strong relationship with his father, thanks to all of the years that they have spent training together.
Edward is the one who trained his son in the art of swordsmanship and helped him reach the maximum of his capabilities, often advising him on how to improve his techniques along the way, showing how much he truly cares about his son and wishes to help him become a powerful fighter, should the time to fight his first enemies come.
Edward is the most understanding member of the Pendragon family when it comes to Devin's choice to become a mercenary and travel to Avernum, gladly giving him his blessing and wishing him good luck in the lands below. However, he also warns him that, should he forget about the fact that he should sometimes say "No" to someone else, his greed will eventually overcome his sense of justice and his moral compass will be ruined (This foreshadows the events of "Miracula Luxia: The Noble One")
=== Mel Pendragon ===
Devin and his mother share a strong, loving relationship.
Outside of his training, his mother often offers him good advice on how to be a better person and how to talk to the people around him, wishing to teach how to be a morally respectable person in the eyes of everyone.
Mel is less understanding than her husband of her son's decision to become a mercenary. However, she still respects it and does not interfere, but is still worried about the well-being of her son, knowing that being an adventurer is very hard. Especially when you are faced with powerful enemies that you must defeat.
=== Uma Pendragon ===
Uma- Devin's sister, is the one who cares the most about his well-being out of all the members of the Pendragon family, often supervising him so he does not hurt himself while training with his father.
Uma often helps her brother by chanting healing spells and casting them on him when he is hurt or sing him a song when he is tired to put him to a well-deserved sleep.
Overall, their relationship is very stable, much more than the one between Devin and Nox.
When she learns that her brother wants to be a mercenary, Uma strongly disagrees at first, knowing the true risks of adventuring and wishing to keep her brother safe and sound in Thais, rather than letting him risk his life fighting dangerous monsters (And people) in Avernum. However, after being convinced by him that it is for the good of Avernum, she decides to give him a chance to redeem himself and allows him to go in the lands below the ground, albeit reluctantly.
Somehow, after the events of "Miracula Luxia: The Noble One", she learns of what her brother has done and is very, very angry about it. Not telling anyone, she decides to search for him, not telling her family about the deed and wishing to find him all by herself.
Currently, Uma is the only member of the Pendragon family who knows that Devin stole the Demonslayer and gave it to Dorikas.
=== Nox Pendragon ===
Devin and Nox's relationship is pretty... complicated, to say at the very least.
Although Devin loves his sister very much, she does not share the same love for him and sees him as someone who is beneath her notice, very similar to the way she sees her twin sister- Uma.
Like Uma, Devin is understanding of Nox's dark side and tries to do whatever he can to make her a good person (Or, at least make her better at understanding the world around her).
Nox does not seem to care when she learns that her brother is going to become a mercenary and travel to Avernum.
== Trivia ==
* Devin is named after another member of the Pendragon family- Devin Pendragon I, being the second to hold this name after him.
