Who is Peruere?

Arlecchino's Real Name

Peruere is the childhood name of Arlecchino, Fourth of the Fatui Harbingers. Upon claiming the title of The Knave, she forsook her name and donned a new one befiting her position.

The previous House of the Heart's goal was for the children to grow up strong enough and compete for the title of King.

Orphan at the House of the Hearth

Peruere was an orphan at the House of the Hearth which at the time was ruled by Crucabena, the former Knave of the Fatui and eventually became known to the House's children as Mother.

Peruere was quite anti-social and rarely had the time nor energy to socialize with the other orphans. During her spare time, she observes and takes care of insects and arachnids.

The House of the Hearth's Purpose

The true goal of the House of the Hearth under Crucabena's tutelage is to raise war orphans to become deadly combatants and pit them against each other to the death to determine its “King”—the worthy heir of The Knave.

Those who died were simply disposed of. Those who survived with major injuries were either sent away on deadly missions or sent to The Doctor for experimentation.

Has An Unnamed Curse

As made official by Crucabena, Peruere is afflicted with an unnamed curse that acts up every so often. Little is known about this curse or how the House manages to keep it at bay, but for the most part, it did not pose a threat.

Perrie, Clervie's Best Friend

Crucabena had a biological daughter named Clervie who she brought to the House of the Hearth at the age of 6. Upon realizing the true nature of the organizaiton, Clervie wanted to free herself from its grasp.

During her time at the House, however, she befriended Peruere and spent the most time with her. The two eventually became best friends, with Clervie even going so far as to calling Peruere “Perrie”.

Clervie Story and Profile

Killed Clervie in a Duel

As the years pass, Peruere remained as stoic as ever, only caring about making it as “King” of the House of the Hearth. Clervie, on the other hand, only cared about being free from it. As she got older, Clervie's hopes began to waver.

Despite suggesting killing Crucabena, Peruere knew that Clervie could not bring herself to kill her own flesh and blood. Without options left, Clervie let Peruere kill her in a duel so that she may finally be free.

Defeated and Killed “Mother” Crucabena

Just as Crucabena's benevolence was merely a mask, so too was Peruere's stoicism. Despite not showing emotions, Clervie's death enraged her boundlessly, and she set out to confront “Mother” and end it once and for all.

An intense fight broke out. All seemed lost for Peruere, considering that she was a mere teenager fighting a Fatui Harbinger. However, with her curse taking full effect, she unleashes all her might and ultimately kills Crucabena.

Taken to Snezhnaya and Became Arlecchino

Defeating “Mother” landed Peruere in the Snezhnaya prison. Tsaritsa eventually pardoned her and gave her the title of The Knave, effectively replacing Crucabena.

From then on, she abandoned her name and took on a new one to match her reputation as number 4 of the Fatui Harbingers—Arlecchino.

House of the Hearth's Unfeeling “Father”

Along with the title of The Knave comes the authority over the House of the Hearth. In direct contrast to Crucabena's cruelty in the guise of altruism, Arlecchino raised orphans without any emotion but with full honesty.

While still training them to be usable units for Fatui missions with the utmost strictness, she takes great care of the House's children, letting them do as they please—exactly what a strict and unfeeling “Father” would do.
