Biography[]
Doug Perren was the curator for the Sunnydale Museum of Natural History. In 1998, the museum received a large stone block with ancient writings etched upon all of its sides.
Rupert Giles visited the museum and spoke with Perren, who showed him the block. Giles took of the fact that there was a seam inside of it, which would allow it to open. He asked Perren if he could translate the text on the exterior before anyone took towards opening it.
Perren learned to his regret, that the box contained a statue of the ancient demon Acathla, and apparently housed the demon's essence as well. Angelus and his brood raided the museum to steal the artifact. Drusilla murdered Doug Perren and they took the block back to Angelus' abode at the Crawford Street Mansion.
