Biography
Samantha was a part of the militia group from Westruun, fighting against Thordak army during the siege of Emon. Initially, she was under the command of Kerrek, but as dragon forces subsided, he decided to join Vox Machina for their journey in Whitestone and subsequently for the final battle with Raishan. Samantha became the temporary leader in his absence.

When Kerrek returned to Emon, Samantha rushed up and socked him across the face, upset that he had been gone and in danger. She was impressed by his involvement in slaying the dragon, however.
