## Vox Machina

The characters have been adapted from campaign one of the web series Critical Role.

### Vex'ahlia Vessar

Vex'ahlia "Vex" Vessar (voiced by Laura Bailey), is a half-elf ranger and the twin sister of Vax'ildan. She studied dragons in the hope of eventually finding the one that killed her and Vax's mother. Vex feels a pain in her head whenever a dragon is close by. She is accompanied by Trinket (voiced by Matthew Mercer; Cheech Marin in Vex's Fey Realm hallucination), an armored bear companion she found as a cub and raised. Vex was treated poorly by her elven father Syldor due to her mixed heritage; Vax pushes her to run away with him following years of mistreatment by Syldor and the twins grow closer after running away. Upon returning to Syngorn as an adult, Syldor continues to dismiss both the twin's accomplishments and their quest for Fenthras, a Vestige of Divergence; Vex "defers to his anger and even chides Vax when he attempts to rebuke him". In an attempt to stand up for Vex, Percy informs Syldor that she is in fact Lady Vex'ahlia, Baroness of the Third House of Whitestone and Grand Mistress of the Gray Hunt which Syldor also dismisses. This prompts Vex to stand up for her friends and herself – "when Syldor smugly rebukes her, she continues. 'We won't fail, which is more than I can say about you as a father.'" After recovering and claiming Fenthras, Vex decides she's not ready to face her father again. In season 3, Vex and Percy gain feelings for one another, and after a few trysts together, decide to not pursue a romantic relationship yet, but stay as "teammates with benefits".

### Percival de Rolo

Percival "Percy" Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III (voiced by Taliesin Jaffe) is a human gunslinger. Percival hails from the noble de Rolo family, rulers of Whitestone, until his family was massacred by the Briarwoods, a couple who usurped control of the city. Percy barely escaped with his life, but the trauma of his family's death left him vengeful and haunted.
Driven by a desire for revenge, Percy uses his intellect to create firearms, becoming a skilled marksman and inventor. His personal quest to reclaim Whitestone and destroy the Briarwoods becomes a major arc in the series. Along the way, Percy struggles with a dark force tied to his thirst for vengeance, manifesting in a demon called Orthax, who offers him power in exchange for his soul.
As Percy confronts his past and seeks justice for his family, he must also grapple with the consequences of his actions and the darkness within himself. He is the paramour of Vex’ahlia.

### Pike Trickfoot

Pike Trickfoot (voiced by Ashley Johnson) is a gnome cleric of the goddess Everlight. She's been a companion of Grog's for many years, and the two have a deep, caring friendship. Pike's faith sometimes gets challenged by what she feels she has to do to help her teammates and friends. In season 3, Pike obtains the Plate of the Dawnmartyr, a special magical armor that can turn a dragon's fire attack back against them.

### Vax'ildan Vessar

Vax'ildan "Vax" Vessar (voiced by Liam O'Brien) is a rogue and is the twin brother of Vex'ahlia, and their close bond is central to their characters. After their mother's death at the hands of a dragon, Vax and Vex became inseparable, relying on each other as they navigated a dangerous world.
In the series, Vax is depicted as the group's agile scout, skilled in stealth and subterfuge. His quick thinking and ability to outmaneuver enemies often help the team out of perilous situations. Vax struggles with feelings of vulnerability and a deep fear of losing his loved ones, which motivates his fierce protectiveness toward Vex and the rest of the group.
A major turning point for Vax’s character comes when he encounters the Matron of Ravens, the goddess of death. After a fateful encounter, Vax becomes her chosen champion, which grants him supernatural abilities but also binds him to her service. This connection to the Matron of Death introduces a darker, more introspective side to Vax, as he grapples with the weight of his new responsibilities and his role in guiding souls to the afterlife.
Vax is a romantic interest to Keyleth, and while he shares the same feelings, some of the effects of his new powers, including his ability to see the future fates of others, causes him to not act on his feelings for Keyleth.

### Keyleth of the Air Ashari

Keyleth of the Air Ashari (voiced by Marisha Ray) is a half-elf druid who is currently undergoing her Aramenté – a quest which acts as the Ashari trial of leadership. Keyleth, or "Keykey" as she's sometimes called, is initially apprehensive and doubting of her abilities, but slowly gains confidence throughout the series' first two seasons. As of season 3, she can control wind, fire, and plant attacks. Keyleth also has feelings for Vax, which he also has for her but doesn't want to pursue them, as Vax worries that his own powers and visions could pull them away.

### Scanlan Shorthalt

Scanlan Shorthalt (voiced by Sam Riegel) is a gnome bard known for his music and innuendo. He is not shy about his promiscuity. Scanlan's able to use his lyre to cast different spells. Scanlan has an illegitimate daughter, Kaylie, who was born out of a one-night-stand Scanlan had with her mother. Scanlan tries to reconnect with her but fails when he's torn between patching things up with her and helping his team out. Scanlan also seems to have feelings for Pike, in spite of his promiscuous attitude, though she only seems to care for him as a friend and teammate.

### Grog Strongjaw

Grog Strongjaw (voiced by Travis Willingham) is a goliath barbarian, who is always ready to fight. Grog and Pike have been friends for many years, with Grog usually needing Pike to keep him focused. Simple-minded, Grog can sometimes take things too literally or not literally enough. Initially bare-faced, Grog grows a beard in season 2.

* Lady Delilah Briarwood (Grey Griffin): a necromancer who ruled Whitestone with her husband Sylas after seizing power after they overthrew and killed the de Rolo family. She has necromantic abilities from her studies as a wizard and a mysterious connection to her patron, "The Whispered One," whom she is conducting a ritual for. During the fight with Vox Machina, Delilah attempts to complete the ritual early at the ziggurat beneath Whitestone Castle. The ritual seemingly fails because it was performed before the solstice, summoning only a spinning black orb in place of the Whispered One.

Griffin also voices Percy and Cassandra's mother Lady Johanna de Rolo in flashbacks.

It was he, along with his wife Delilah, who overthrew and killed the de Rolo family several years prior.

* Dr. Anna Ripley (Kelly Hu; Kimiko Glenn as a younger Ripley): one of the de Rolo family's murderers who tortured Percy; she eventually turns against the Briarwoods and is imprisoned in Whitestone Castle. After being released by Vox Machina on the condition of her offering them information on the Briarwoods, she successfully escapes from both Vox Machina and the Briarwoods. She later goes to Westruun to inform Umbrasyl of Vox Machina and their plan against the Conclave. She is then shown to be working with Umbrasyl on a quest to gather the Vestiges of Divergence for themselves, for the promise of resources from Umbrasyl. After Umbrasyl's death, she flees to fight another day. She then appears at Ank'Harel, stealing a Vestige with the help of another, and Orthax. She wants Percy to help her expand the gun to a worldwide scale, for profit and equality. She later tells Thordak about Whitestone, which then led to the destruction of it, and Percy reigniting his vendetta against her. He need for weapons of mass destruction comes from vengeance, against the Cerberus Assembly, who came to her village and killed most of the villagers, in including her father (Lou Diamond Phillips). After a fight with Percy, she manages to kill him with a surprise gun in her sleeve, and escape. Ripley later loses her weapons, and life after the twins went after her.

## Reception

Madison Durham, for Polygon in 2022, wrote that "the characterization of Keyleth in the animated series is entirely consistent with how Ray played her in the show, refined and honed for this new format" and acts as "redemption" for the character. During the first season, Durham comments that the audience "not only to see Keyleth overcome small moments of uncertainty, but are also treated to the visualization of her power — power she wields first as small blooms of flowers or vines, that blossoms into blazing orbs of pure sunlight and towering walls of ice. Members of her own party are forced to acknowledge her prowess". She also highlighted the changes to Keyleth and Vax's romance and called it a "deft move on the part of the writers and animators". Andrea Towers, for TV Insider in 2023, wrote that "the animated series is doing something remarkable: it's opening up Keyleth to an entirely new segment of fans, both new and old, who are falling in love with her endearing nature and struggles with self-confidence and seeing her in an entirely different way than people did a few years ago. The narrative of the show — especially the second season, which is allowing the character to come into her own and take on more responsibility — is proving that the very things that made the character so contentious in the first place are the things that make her one of, if not the most, valuable and relatable character in the adventuring group".
Brenton Stewart, for CBR in 2022, commented that while many members of Vox Machina fit "classical fantasy tropes," Percy resists "almost any box of a fantasy archetype fans might try to fit him into" which makes him "more unique and interesting each time his backstory unravels". Stewart wrote that "part of The Legend of Vox Machina's fun is that the characters are so diverse, there is something different for everyone and a little something to enjoy in each of them. The show would not be the same if it focused on Percy alone, yet it's hard to make any comparisons where he does not stand out as the most unique character worthy of focus".
Madison Durham, for Polygon during the show's second season, wrote that "Vex'ahlia is not on the surface someone who is in any way fragile. She is bold, and self-confident, and unremorseful about the things she wants. She can also be prickly and stubborn. Beneath her bravado, though, lurks a very big heart. Big enough to rescue an orphaned bear cub, fierce enough to protect her brother and her friends, and kind enough to welcome a half-sister with open arms". Durham highlighted the adaptation of Vex's conflict with her father and her fight with Saundor. She commented that "the animated series has done an amazing job at allowing all the characters in the show to stand on their own feet — in particular, they've been writing the women of the show beautifully".
James Grebey, for Vulture in 2023, commented on the character design of the Chroma Conclave – "the stylistic choice to make the dragons computer generated, rather than the more traditional-looking animation of the human characters and backgrounds, sometimes sticks out, but it only makes [the Chroma Conclave's invasion of Emon] sequence even more effective. The Chroma Conclave is not normal. It is out of Vox Machina's league by an unfathomable degree". Grebey highlighted the abilities of each dragon and on Thordak, he wrote "lest you think a normal fire-breathing dragon seems generic after his fellow dragons' unique, gruesome abilities, the series does something new and awe inspiring when the Thordak's fire turns into a brilliant white beam that instantly levels the city".
