Life in the muggle work houses was tough for a child his age, but thankfully or rather unfortunately he was rented out to the chimney sweeps who considered him a boon due to his small size. He didn't really care for that kind of work either. The ash made his eyes burn and breathing difficult as he found himself hacking and coughing all the time. A few times he even got stuck in one of the pipes, but after hours of screaming and just when he thought he was going to give up the pipe seemed to somehow expand and he would fall down.
One day after a particular harsh beating for not covering all of an Upper class lady's furnishings prior to releasing the soot from her chimney, Percy had enough and made a break for it. He grabbed his clothes and ran out the door as fast as his feet could carry him. He promised himself he would never go back to the workhouse, never go up another chimney, and live his life as a free boy. His new home became London's docks where he stole food from the kiosks and eeked out a living doing odd jobs.
Shortly a few months after as if by a miracle Guinevere Lukeson found her nephew out in the streets. It took quite a bit of coaxing and almost what one would consider a kidnapping if he wasn't already a rat, now all that remains since he has been returned to Hope Weston his rightful mother, is to turn him into a civilized human being.
Personality: Curious, distrustful, weary, assertive.
Other: He was a stone child, and has little memory of his past aside from his name since rejoining the world.
