Perival Mantear is the High Seat of House Mantear. The sign of House Mantear is a silver anvil. Perival is likely a close cousin of Galadedrid Damodred and Rand al'Thor through their mother Tigraine.
Appearance[]
He is a golden-haired boy. He looks maybe fifteen, though he is only twelve.
Activities[]
He is brought to Caemlyn by Reanne Corly and Dyelin Taravin. In a meeting with Elayne Trakand, he pledges his House in support of House Trakand for the Lion Throne.
He walks into a meeting with Elayne and Dyelin, who are discussing the fate of the five other Houses who are planning to stay neutral until a victor is decided. Despite his age, he shows a great deal of political intelligence, when he works out what Elayne had planned for the Borderlanders all along.
When Birgitte Silverbow arrives with the news of Elayne's capture, he heads out with the strike force to retrieve her. A soldier arrives with the news that some hired mercenaries paid by Elayne are attacking the Far Madding Gate. The forces have to be split and he and his forces ride to defend the Far Madding Gate. Arymilla Marne's army attack the gate but is hit behind by the recently rescued Elayne and her force. Arymilla's army soon surrenders.
He is present at the meeting with the neutral High Seats and Elayne. There, they throw their support behind Elayne giving her the required Houses she needs to obtain the Lion Throne[1].
Perival is in attendance when Elayne outlines the loss of Caemlyn to several other High Seats. There are no plans to try and take the city back as there would be significant losses to their army.
