Biography[]

Background[]

"Hubris" (1x17)[]

Mertin greeted Aldor when he returned from the hydra hunt, and was surprised by the addition of Vox Machina. They explained that Vox Machina had unintentionally interfered with a contract and Mertin laughed at their daring. He explained that there was a way they could rectify this and went to see if his wife, the Huntmaster, was available for a meeting. She was, so he lead Vox Machina to meet her.

Upon the conclusion of Vox Machina's meeting with Vanessa, Mertin lead them back into the guildhall proper. Vex'ahlia asked if it was possible to change their assigned groups, so that she and Vax'ildan could be on the same team but Mertin said that once his wife's had made a decision, there was no changing it.

"Dangerous Dealings" (1x42)[]

Vox Machina arrived at the Slayer's Take guildhall and caught Mertin in the middle of a nap. They woke up him and he happily welcomed them back, asking what their business was. They asked if he'd heard about any dragons, to which he said he hadn't. They asked to talk to Vanessa and Osysa but he told them Vanessa was out on a hunt and should return in a day or two. He told them they were free to sleep in the guildhall and went back to his nap.
