History Characters / CriticalRoleGuestPartyMembers

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Excitable, loud, easily distracted, and prone to following some truly bizarre trains of thought. Take a look at what he named his zombie thralls. Also refers to volcanoes as "nature's candles". One can only wonder what turns his life took that his two strongest skills are necromancy and candle-making.

* TheDandy: Hates having his nice vest damaged.

* FlyingBroomstick: Owned one...which was then stolen by Vex from under his nose.

* HeroicComedicSociopath: He's perfectly fine with sending his undead thralls out as suicide bombers (cause they're, you know, ''dead''), calls them "people candles", and isn't exactly heartbroken for too long when they get destroyed. In the world of D&D where raising undead isn't exactly looked upon fondly, he treats the practice as how one would get a pet.
* HorribleJudgeofCharacter: Believes Vex to be very trustworthy, not knowing she stole his flying broom mere minutes before.

* GlassCannon: He's certainly a powerful wizard, and his Cone of Cold can deal damage like no one's business. However, his AC is only ''13'' (less than Lyra, who had 14), and he only has 70 hit points, so whenever things hit him he gets hit ''hard''.

* {{Adorkable}}: [[https://twitter.com/VoiceOfOBrien/status/626945734818934784 Lampshaded by Liam.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He might be snappish and irritated by Keyleth's optimism, but as often he complains about the team's antics he's perfectly willing to give them magical support when they need him. By the end of his time with group, he's thawed to downright civil.
** When met again, he's a lot nicer, albeit still incredibly snarky.

* RidingIntoTheSunset: After [[spoiler: giving Keyleth a BigDamnKiss (her FirstKiss, by the way)]] it's assumed this was what he did.
** [[spoiler: Then it turns out he returned and has been helping out the Slayer's Take with work.]]

* {{Necromancy}}: Can raise the dead as servants, as demonstrated on [[spoiler:the Broker]] so his employers would see what became of him.

* AnIcePerson: Knows Cone of Cold and Ice Storm. His candles can also be enchanted to have ice properties when activated.

* DisadvantageousDisintegration: His Disintegrate spell, which tore off a hefty chunk of Efreeti HP.

* {{Necromancer}}
* ShockAndAwe: His Lightning Breath.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Keyleth when they see each other again, complicated by her feelings for Vax. It ends up mostly resolved when they have a talk and Kash apologises for stealing her first kiss, though Keyleth doesn't mind that he did. It promptly turns awkward when he reveals it was only ''his'' second kiss and Keyleth fails to guess the obvious candidate for his first. (Hint: he's married.) Less seriously, Scanlan keeps joking that Kash has a thing for Vax, while Kash jokes in turn that if he didn't, he'd be into Scanlan.

A powerful, no-nonsense tiefling warlock who was a Slayer's Take Guild Member hopeful. She initially tried to assert dominance over Vox Machina, and immediately started a small rivalry with Vex'ahlia. But after finding some common ground with a disappeared mother, and a Jerkass father, Zahra mellowed down, and helped the first group defeat Rimefang.

* DealWithTheDevil: Warlock class in 5th Edition gain their power from appealing to a demonic pact, dealing with the Fey, or encountering a Cthulu-esque eldritch Great Old One. Zahra chose the Great Old One.

* {{Lunacy}}: The moon is a noticeable theme with her.

* PrecisionFStrike: Not quite to the extent of say Vax'ildan or Grog. But when she tosses it out, it cuts deep.

* WhiteSheep: It's implied through her cousin, Lillith Daturai, that they might be the only nice members of the entire family. And even Zahra was questionable at the beginning of the trials.

* FlyingBroomstick: Owned one...which was then stolen by Vex under his nose.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: However, due to an event in the past this Dragonborn is currently without a tail.

* DisavantageousDisintegration: His Disintegrate spell, which tore off a hefty chunk of Efreeti HP.

** [[spoiler: Upon his return it turns out he's become less of a loner and has a best friend in Zahra and works with the Slayer's Take.]]

* CrisisOfFaith: Suggested with his actions thus far. He hides his holy symbol (of an unknown god) rather than wear it openly, and he's described as "reluctantly" pulling it out to cast a spell. He finally goes into detail in episode 21. [[spoiler: He is the only remaining "worshipper" of a deity named Vesh, to whom he was ceremonially married shortly after birth. She came to consummate the marriage when he was fifteen, and it resulted in the deaths of his entire village, including his parents. He tried to kill her and she vanished; he hasn't seen her since then. Because of Vesh, he can't get emotionally close to anyone.]]

* FirstKiss: He was Keyleth's first kiss, she was his second. Vesh was his first.

* GoodIsNotNice: Kashaw fits this trope nicely.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: His right arm is absolutely covered in small scars. [[spoiler: This is a result of his "marriage" to Vesh; he made the first fifty cuts, she performed the rest.]]

* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: It really, really does [[spoiler:when the purpose you're chosen for is serving as the metaphysical counterweight to a vicious, homicidal deity. His marriage to Vesh was to ensure there would be a channel of positive energy to counter her dark and chaotic nature]].

** When met again, he's alot nicer, albeit incredibly snarky towards the party.

* OnlySaneMan: While group two is somewhat more level-headed than group one was in general (group one containing [[BloodKnight Grog]], [[StuffBlowingUp Percy]], and [[GeniusDitz Lyra]]), Kashaw seems to have his head screwed on straighter than the rest.

* TookALevelInKindness: He's alot nicer to the party [[spoiler: when he returned in Episode 43]] but is still very snarky.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Keyleth when they see each other again. By this point she's got heaps of this with Vax. It ends up mostly resolved when Kash and Keyleth have a talk and Kash apologises for stealing her first kiss, though Keyleth doesn't mind that he did. Then it turns awkward when it turns out she was his second kiss and Vesh ends up being mentioned.
** He jokes that he has this with Vax because Scanlan keeps joking that Kash is into Vax. Kash then jokingly says that if Vax wasn't in the picture, he'd have it with Scanlan.

* DeadpanSnarker: Especially his interactions with Keyleth.

* TurnUndead: You better believe he has this ability, as a Cleric, but even more when those Ethereal Undead were really wrecking the second group's shit.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Just wow.

-->'''Class:''' Cleric (War Domain)

-->'''Class:''' Rogue

The Members of the Clasp are a group of underground rogues and other ne'er-do-wells who reside in Emon. What exactly their purpose is is ambiguous at best. Most likely a case of ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney mentality.

* BackStab
* LastChanceHitPoint: Half-Orcs have a racial ability where if the first time in a battle, the half-orc reaches zero hit points, they automatically revert to one hit point instead.
* TheSneakyGuy: As befitting for a rogue.

[[folder]]

* BadAssBeard: Doubly so, since first, Wil Wheaton plays him (giving him one in real life too), and second, he is a dwarf.

* DisadvantageousDisintegration: Her Disintegrate spell.

* MotorMouth: Just don't get her started on Aldor... or anything, really.

* LadyOfBlackMagic

* NotSoDifferent: While she and Vex initially butted heads, they share a similar past with losing a parent and having an asshole father.

-->'''Zahra:''' ''(with arcane power flowing through her)'' Yes, I fucking can.

* TheStoic: She seems to share Percy's affinity of being serious, and less of a caricature, than other members are.

A dwarven member of the Slayer's take that is almost offended that he had to "babysit" the second group of Vox Machina, and isn't afraid of anything. Blessed (or cursed, depending) with the gift of being unlucky, it is possible that Thorbir is more about fighting than doing... pretty much anything else. Despite this, there does seem to be a softer side to him, that he doesn't allow anyone to see.

* ActionDad: Yes, Grumpy Mr. Thorbir is a father.

* TheAloner: Implied by how he introduced himself to be this type.

* CrisisOfFaith: Suggested with his actions thus far. He hides his holy symbol (of an unknown god) rather than wear it openly, and he's described as "reluctantly" pulling it out to cast a spell. He finally goes into detail in episode 21. [[spoiler: He is the only remaining "worshipper" of a deity named Vesh, to whom he was ceremonially married shortly after birth. She came to consummate the marriage when he was fifteen, and it resulted in the deaths of his entire village, including his parents. Because of Vesh, he can't get emotionally close to anyone.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Especially with his social interactions with Keyleth.

* RunningGag: Kashaw cannot seem to say Tiberius' last name for the life of him (except when they parted ways). Whether this is by accident or on purpose, it's hard to say.

* TechnicolorEyes: One yellow eye and one blue eye. [[spoiler:He was born with two yellow eyes. The mismatched one was gained from the god he married.]]

* TurnUndead: You better believe he has this ability, as a Cleric, but even more when these Ethereal Undead were really wrecking the second group's shit.

* MeaningfulName: Lillith is one letter away from the Biblical demon, however her backstory seems to be derived from the less known account of Lilith being a rebel against tyranny. Her last name is derived from the [[https://twitter.com/AnemoneTea/status/653187710824382464 datura genus of flowers]] (which can be white, like she is).
* {{Necromancy}}: Can raise the dead as servants, which she does to [[spoiler:the Broker]] to send a message to her pursuers.
