Revision as of 20:50, 17 July 2017

Elementalist Drake Thunderbrand is a dwarven wizard and friend of Lady Allura, as well as a member of the Arcana Pansophical.  As an NPC, he is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description

Appearance

Drake has short, black hair with a beard "trimmed fairly fine." When he first encountered Vox Machina in 4x02, he was wearing red leathers and was apparently unarmed, though carrying a gnarled, curved wand. The wand almost spiraled, in a messed-up sort of way, with a well-treated surface.[2]

Personality

Somewhat exuberant in personality,[3] Drake can also be quite soft—both concerned and supportive—toward Lady Allura.[4][5]

Background

Drake Thunderbrand may be related to House Thunderbrand in Kraghammer.[presumed]

Years before the attack of the Chroma Conclave, Drake was part of an adventuring party with Lady Allura, Lady Kima, Sirus, Dohla, and Ghenn. They sealed the ancient red dragon Thordak in the Elemental Plane of Fire, at the cost of Sirus, Dohla, and Ghenn's lives.

4x02

Drake accompanied Allura to Greyskull Keep after the Chroma Conclave's assault on Emon.

4x03

Drake used an elemental transportation spell to transport himself and Allura to Vasselheim.

"The Siege of Emon" (1x78)

Character Information

Abilities

In 4x02, Allura introduced Drake as an elementalist, which is not a standard class in 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

In 4x03, Drake employed an unusual means of transportation using elemental electricity, much to the surprise and awe of Vox Machina. It is a custom spell of his own design.[6]
