| Perun was one of the Dievas, the Slavic gods of Eastern Europe, and was the god of storm, thunder and lightning, born in Iriys, Svarga, to Svarog and Lada. |
| Svarog attributed shares of his power to his sons, but Perun and Svantovit usurped their other brothers' share of powers to gain their father's favor, ultimately turning on each other, with Svarog refusing to involve himself. Perun managed to obtain the largest share of power. |
| Under unrevealed circumstances, Perun was drafted into working as an agent of the Russian government, becoming their analogue to the Norse god Thor in the United States. |
