Assum Emring

Seeker Asum Emring is a halfling ranger on the Council of Tal'Dorei in Emon.

Appearance
Asum wears ranger-ish garb, a fine chain shirt, and a thick dark black cloak. His head is shaved bald, and he has tattoos covering one side of his face (the right side according to Matt's hand gesture).

Council of Tal'Dorei
Seeker Asum Emring appeared alongside the other members of the Council of Tal'Dorei in to decide what to do with the Horn of Orcus that Vox Machina brought back from the Underdark. Asum said little during the discussion but his body language indicated that he had heard of illithid before, and like the rest of the Council, was worried about the Horn.

The Briarwoods
In, Asum informed Percy of a dinner the Council of Tal'Dorei was having with the Briarwoods and gave them a week to prepare. He said he didn't trust the Briarwoods and wanted Vox Machina to attend to help him.

In, when Vox Machina arrived for the dinner, Asum saw through Percy's disguise and reminded Vox Machina he was their ally and they could trust him. He told Vax'ildan—who had decided to sneak around the palace invisibly—to meet him outside the dinner once it started. Vax forgot to meet Asum and instead pursued the Briarwoods up to their chambers, where he was attacked.

In, Vax is nearly killed by the Briarwoods, but he managed to jump through the window with the Briarwoods in pursuit. Asum, it turned out, had been searching the Briarwoods' room during the feast, and he was hidden behind the bookcase. Asum proceeded to jump through the window after Vax and the Briarwoods. He tried to pick up the dying Vax in order to drag him to safety. However, Sylas charmed Asum, forcing him to fight against Vox Machina.

In, Asum was still under the Briarwoods' charm when Vox Machina was kicked off the Council of Tal'Dorei. Keyleth managed to release him from the charm but he kept up the accusations.

In The Path to Whitestone, Asum arrived at Greyskull Keep and explained that the Briarwoods had placed Uriel under a charm also. Having researched the Briarwoods he found that he could find little information and decided to search in the kingdom they alleged were their homelands - Wild Mount - going past the Eastern Curtain set up by Whitestone. Before he leaves he agrees to teach Vex to be more stealthy.

Occupation of Emon
Asum was present at Uriel's abdication speech in the Cloudtop district when Emon was attacked by the Chroma Conclave in. Vox Machina learned from Empress Salda Tal'Dorei, that he survived the attack, and as far as they know he is still there helping survivors.
