Peri (later known as Peri Watson) is a member of the Scientist caste of Clan Jade Falcon. She is a trueborn and a member of the same sibko as Aidan Pryde and Marthe Pryde. She is also the mother of Diana Pryde.

Early life

Part of a sibko combining the genetic legacy of Star Commander Tania Pryde and Galaxy Commander Ramon Mattlov, Peri and eleven of her sibkin survived to enter warrior training at Crash Camp on Ironhold. She made it almost all the way through but was eased out as her falconers determined she was lacking in mechanical skills and not competitive enough. She was, however, extremely intelligent, scoring high enough to enter the Scientist caste.

Apprentice

Initially apprenticed to Genetic Officer Watson at a laboratory on Tokasha, Peri worked on a project devoted to the improvement of genetic procedures. Her calm life was interrupted by the arrival of Aidan, who had fled Ironhold after failing his Trial of Position. He was extremely ill and Peri nursed him back to health, enjoying a brief intimate interlude (and conceiving a child, Diana) with him before her was recaptured by Joanna.

Scientist

After roughly a decade on Tokasha, Peri was reassigned to the Main Science Center on Circe and separated from Diana. Though she did not communicate often with her daughter, Peri kept a close watch on her career.

By this time a full-fledged Scientist, Peri had a major role in the ritual honoring Aidan Pryde's genetic legacy and addition to the gene pool. At some point after this, she earned the labname "Watson".

In 3055, Peri was the chief scientific officer of the Falcon Eyrie Research Station on Huntress. She oversaw genetic experiments and highly-secret research on the Land Air 'Mech concept. The latter came in handy when, in 3059, Star Captain Horse arrived on Huntress and was captured by Clan Smoke Jaguar. Peri and several members of the solahma unit assigned to the Eyrie executed a rescue plan with the LAM prototypes, freeing Horse, his Trinary, and their 'Mechs.

Return to Ironhold

After her return to Ironhold in 3060, Peri discovered a secret sibko training facility where the genes of Aidan Pryde were being utilized in a different manner, as the entire genetic component of the sibko. This discovery brought her afoul of Etienne Balzac, head of the Jade Falcon Scientist caste. He put out a contract on her life, but she survived the attack.

Shortly afterward, she met with Khan Marthe Pryde and agreed to spy for her at the secret sibko facility to gather information to incriminate Balzac. Peri ingratiated herself with Balzac and managed to be assigned to the facility where discovered evidence that the project was interClan, and that Balzac was attempting to assemble an army of his own. This evidence allowed Marthe to re-organize the Jade Falcon Scientist caste, and while she offered the Scientist-General post to Peri, Peri declined.

As of 3062, Peri was assigned officially to the Sibko Training Center.

Around 3070, she was reported missing by Kael Pershaw, head of the Watch. She was apparently investigating Balzac, and a group called 'The Society', a conspiracy involving the Scientist Castes of most or all of the clans. [1]
