(TV: The Ultimate Foe) Peri and Yrcanos ultimately had three children: two sons and a daughter, just as Peri had always wanted. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox) One was named Yrcanthia, who ruled as a warrior queen with her parents and husband, Corynus. They had at least three grandchildren by them, including Actis and Euthys. (COMIC: The Age of Chaos)
