By accepting that role and coming to an understanding, Vax found what he had been lacking and became more at ease. Upon encountering the Raven Queen, Vax'ildan was fearful at first, but he eventually accepted his new role as the goddess's champion. He had considered becoming a follower of Sarenrae, inspired by his friend Pike, but had to give up on this idea after he offered his life to the Raven Queen, in desperation, to save his sister's life. For many years, he thought of himself as "lost and a wanderer", his goal being to find some purpose in his life. Vax'ildan has said that he felt depressed for a long time before meeting with Vox Machina. But he does open up towards those who earn his trust and his love. At times, he keeps his emotions to himself, the only person he ever trusted for a long time being his sister. When he feels overwhelmed, he prefers to walk away when it becomes too much to bear instead of dealing with the problem. He has a habit of self-loathing and tends to brood when undergoing emotional crises. Vax tends to wear his heart on his sleeve. He can be incredibly deceptive and often navigates through social situations with ease and occasionally coin.
Personality Ĭompared to his sister, Vax is far more focused and serious, but he is not without his moments of playfulness, as he is quite fond of being a prankster. When Vax'ildan briefly returned to the material plane in order to commemorate his sister's wedding, he wore an elegant mask resembling Percy's, and his right shoulder had a bony, antler-like growth coming from the area of his tattoo of Keyleth's antlers. Once Vax reappeared on the Material Plane, the dark mark on his chest had expanded to resemble a pair of wings. After being disintegrated by Vecna, the Raven Queen made a deal with Vax to allow him to return to life until Vecna had been destroyed. Īfter his resurrection, Vax'ildan developed a dark, bruise-like mark over his heart as a symbol of the boon he received from the Raven Queen. Additionally, Vax'ildan used to have the Clasp's brand between his shoulder blades, but it has since been covered by a handprint-shaped scar on his back after he asked Keyleth to burn it away. While spending a year with Keyleth in Zephrah, he also got a tattoo of her antlers on his upper right arm. He got a pair of tattoos in Vasselheim after completing the Slayer's Take trial: on the inside of his left wrist are the sounds for "V" and "M" written in Elvish script, and on the inside of his right wrist is an icosahedron. When he activates the armor's ability to fly, a pair of large black raven wings sprout from his back.Īfter joining the Slayer's Take, Vax'ildan has the brand of the guild on his right arm. Vax'ildan wears the Deathwalker's Ward, a black set of studded leather armor trimmed with black feathers. During his resurrection ritual in Vesrah, a part of his hair was braided with Vex's blue feathers as part of her offering. He greatly resembles his sister, with long, dark brown hair and hazel eyes, but at 5'11" he is two inches taller than her. Like his twin sister Vex'ahlia, Vax is a twenty-eight-year-old half-elf.

And when his knack for circumventing adversity isn't enough, the way of blades the elves schooled him in more than makes up the difference." Description Appearance An outsider since birth, Vax quickly learned to solve life's challenges in his own particular way, often by sidestepping them entirely. With their ties all severed, Vax'ildan and his sister set out to find their fortune together in Tal'Dorei. Pressing the townspeople for answers, they learned of the day the dragon came. Their mother was gone, their home burned to ash. But instead of finding their childhood home, they returned to a pile of rubble. The siblings stole away one autumn night and set out on the open road.Īfter a few years of wandering, they eventually decided to return to their mother, and journeyed back to the lands of their youth. But their cool reception among the elves there never warmed, and their time in the capital didn't last. Raised by their mother in their early years, the twins were eventually sent off to their father in the elven capital of Syngorn. " Never entirely welcome in the company of elves or men, Vax'ildan learned at a young age to skip past formality, preferring instead to invite himself in your door.Īlong with twin sister Vex'ahlia, Vax was born by a chance encounter between elven royalty and human peasantry. 3.1.4 "The Story of Vox Machina" (Sx06) & other pre-stream events.
