The adventures of Vox Machina continue in The Legend of Vox Machina as they’re faced with defeating the Briarwoods and saving the people of Whitestone.

While the Briarwoods still allow them to operate and speak to the people, they have to be very careful about what they say. And while Keeper Yennen is now voiced by Gina Torres in The Legend of Vox Machina, Keeper Yennen was initially a man in the Critical Role stream.Source: AmazonArticle continues below advertisement Keeper Yennen has a key role in overthrowing the Briarwoods When it comes to taking down the Briarwoods, there are a lot of obstacles — mainly, all the undead people and animals that Delilah has charmed into working and fighting for the evil couple. So Percy, and even Vox Machina, can’t bring down the Briarwoods on their own. They need help, which comes in the form of several people in the town of Whitestone. One of those people happens to be Keeper Yennen. In the initial campaign, Vox Machina first meets him in Whitestone’s temple to Erathis, the Lady’s Chamber. Percy, disguised as an anonymous citizen, listens in to a sermon given to a small group of citizens, and through hints that he’s the last surviving member of the de Rolo family, Percy gains Yennen’s confidence.Article continues below advertisement #LVMSpoilers Keeper Yennen said, "A trusted de Rolo can lead them to freedom."

At the same time, Yennen speaks with Vox Machina and informs them of the Ziggurat beneath the castle while Archibald Desnay makes an entrance.Article continues below advertisement When it comes time to battle, though he may be devout, Yennen can still fight. He leads a group of armed villagers against the Briarwoods’ undead forces. And as a cleric, he helps the group reunite with Pike. In The Legend of Vox Machina, Pike is currently trying to reconnect with the Everlight while Percy has just killed Stonefell, so a lot of what happens with Keeper Yennen in the Critical Role campaign is sure to go down imminently in the Amazon Prime series. Gina Torres is the voice of Keeper Yennen in The Legend of Vox Machina Although Keeper Yennen is a wise old man in Critical Role’s Vox Machina campaign, the character is now played by Gina Torres in The Legend of Vox Machina, and we are here for it.
