Penderrin Ohmsford, or Pen for short, is a character from the Shannara series by Terry Brooks. The son of Bek Ohmsford and Rue Meridian, Pen grew up around airships and was thus a superb pilot. However, unlike his father, Pen seemed to have no magic of his own, and his parents' distrust of the Druids led to little contact between him and his aunt Grianne Ohmsford. However, Pen actually possessed a kind of magic, an empathy with living things that allowed him to understand them.
