10 Clarota
Clarota (@Anonymousbathtub) proved to be quite the
divisive character during Critical Role's first campaign. A
purple-ish squid-faced illithid, Clarota is an arcanist mind
flayer who'd been excommunicated from his hive, Yug'Voril,
for having arcane magic. Vox Machina crossed his path after
Keyleth and Vex'ahlia took an ill-advised scouting mission
away from the rest of the group.
9 Pumat Sol
Owner and proprietor of The Invulnerable Vagrant in Zadash,
Pumat Sol (@Kent Davis) is a mild-mannered firbulg who
runs the most notable shop for arcane goods in the city.
While Pumat Prime is great, fans really connect with the
three identical copies of him called simulacra that run his
shop while he focuses on enchantment work.
DM, Matt Mercer, brings the Pumat Sols to life with a slow
drawl and cheerful demeanor that relays what a trustworthy
connection he is for the party of overwrought adventurers.
He's proven time and again to be a valuable ally, helping the
Nein battle and, supplying them with custom equipment,
and, most importantly, patiently allowing them to completely
buy out his stock every time they arrive in town.
8 Victor
Officially a purveyor of mining products, Victor becomes a
rather valuable resource for Vox Machina. Percy frequently
visits Victor for the most-definitely illegal substance, black
powder, which Percy uses to create ammunition. Victor also
gives Percy important information on the whereabouts of his
mortal enemy, Anna Ripley.
7 Henry Crabgrass
One of Matthew Mercer's newer NPCs, Henry Crabgrass
(@Matt Verdini) is a small, but mighty addition to the
continent of Wildemount. Created on the fly, Henry
Crabgrass is a patch of grass growing near the location
where the not-so-late and great teifling blood hunter
Mollymauk Tealeaf was buried. The Mighty Nein venture to
his gravesite to investigate his grave.
6 Dagen Underthorn
Every party needs a friend like Dagen (@gaelfox) in their
contact list. Over the last few months of gameplay, Dagen
Underthorn has earned his stripes as one of the most
capable and reliable, if long-suffering, allies Critical Role
has ever recruited. Dagen meets the Nein when they
conscript him as their guide across the icy tundra,
Eiselcross. Dagen quickly learns that he's bitten off more
than he can chew when the Nein almost immediately draw
the unwanted attention of the terrifying sea-god Ukatoa.
5 Artagan
4 Lady Kima
Another throwback from Campaign 1, Lady Kima of Vord
(@yanipir) is an OG fan favorite. A warrior and adventurer in
her own right, Kima is a halfling paladin of The Order of the
Platinum Dragon, Bahumat. Known for being brash and
headstrong, Kima is not one to mess with. Vox Machina
meets her when they are hired by famed wizard adventurer,
Allura Vysoren, to rescue her party from the Underdark.
Fans love how her special brand of snark and brute strength
meshes perfectly with Vox Machina's chaotic energy. Kima
proved a clutch ally for Vox Machina, giving them much-
needed assistance for some of the group's most perilous
battles. Critters everywhere were glad to see them make a
cameo in episode 125 of Campaign 2 to lend the Mighty Nein
a helping hand.
3 Essek Thelyss
2 Shaun Gilmore
One of the most beloved NPCs in Critical Role history, Shaun
Gilmore (@babsdraws), met Vox Machina way back in
episode 14 of Campaign 1. The sorcerer merchant owns
Gilmore's Glorious Goods in Emon. He acts as Vox Machina's
chief sponsor, supplying them with goods and friendship.
