Critical Role Productions
About his role in Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, Luis said, "I knew that I wanted to explore an Oath of Redemption paladin in this setting with a potential confrontation with a Betrayer. I wasn't even sure that we would encounter them. I didn't know where we were in the timeline. But I hoped and I asked for it. I was like, 'I'd like to hopefully have an encounter with a Betrayer.'"[11]
