K'ryyn

Biography
K'ryyn (pronounced "ka-reen") is a female Drow bounty hunter who had been hired by Howaardt Darrington to abduct Taryon Darrington and bring him back to the Darrington Estate unharmed. It took her two months before she succeeded in locating Tary and abducting him. She was already on the outskirts of Deastok when Vox Machina was finally able to locate and intercept her.

She was defeated and taken captive by Vox Machina, who managed to intercept her in Wildmount before she had reached the estate. Rather than kill her, Vox Machina decided to allow her to finish her assignment, in order for K'ryyn to maintain her reputation. Especially after Pike pointed out how talented she is at finding people. After letting her go, Vox Machina paid her to find a certain individual: a Gnome Bard named Scanlan Shorthalt.

Since the group hadn't heard from her during the one-year time skip, it is assumed that she either failed in her assignment or is still looking for Scanlan. Either way, she was unsuccessful in finding Scanlan prior to Vox Machina discovering the "Meat Man" in Ank'Harel.

After announcing his plans to create the "Darrington Brigade" (a band of Wildmount adventurers, similar to Vox Machina), Tary announced his intention to find K'ryyn and hire her as the group's first official member.

Personality
K'ryyn is hard to read, both by nature and by profession.

As a Drow, she is physically uncomfortable under direct sunlight. This is part of the reason that she operates in Wildmount: the region is usually overcast.

She doesn't care about what other people know or think about her. She fulfills the contract, and then she leaves.

She is apparently an expert in all types of weapons. Vex even complemented K'ryyn on the quality of the Drow's arrows, and K'ryyn was able to recognize the owlbear feathers used for Vex's arrows.

Vox Machina described her as "cool".

Trivia
K'ryyn was created by the Critter community in a special Twitch Q&A with Matt called "A Date with Mercer". Matt gave some options to vote on in creating an NPC for Vox Machina to fight. The chat voted on "Drow" as the race, and then for profession, "bounty hunter" had the most votes, with "baker" as a very close second. Thus, the NPC was nicknamed "Drow Baker" (a reference to Troy Baker) even after the name "K'ryyn" had been chosen.

Right before the break for Episode 97 (Taryon, My Wayward Son) Taliesin referred to K'ryyn as a "Elfy Boba Fett". Ever since, "Boba Fett" has become a favorite nickname for K'ryyn by both cast and Critters alike.
