Ferallas is the youngest member of his family of four. His father, Túllas, is a sentry at the walls of Esteldín; his mother, Araleth, is a cook; and his brother, Andras, is a skilled warrior. His parents cared for and loved their children much, and his father took it upon himself to teach the brothers the use of martial weapons, a skill they learned slowly, instead of giving them formal training. Despite the slow start, chronicled best by the scars left on each of their bodies, they eventually acquired skill befitting their people.

Throughout Ferallas' life, however, one thing was more prevalent than his skill in arms. His charisma, established throughout his whole life, earned him some measure of respect in Esteldín, on and off the battlefield. Even during the games of his childhood he showed a natural propensity for leadership, able to win the trust and respect of those around him, a quality that was easily translated to times of battle. It is for this reason that the watch-commander of Esteldín, sent him south to Bree-land late in his 42nd year, being still quite young by the standards of the Dúnedain. The Rangers wanted him and his innate charisma to establish trust between them and the notoriously untrusting free-folk of Eriador, a duty he is actively carrying out. He is very proud of and dedicated to this charge, understanding that the Free Peoples of Eriador shall fare better united than estranged against the growing shadow.

Ferallas shows very little emotion when not in combat, yet he is outspoken nonetheless. The respect he has in Esteldín has made him at times overproud, and this serves to impair his judgment. In combat, he is brave sometimes to the point of foolhardiness. He despises inaction, so one could imagine the wave of relief that washed over him given his duty.
