Yennen

Keeper Yennen is the head priest of Erathis in Whitestone. As an NPC, he is portrayed by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Keeper Yennen is an older man with a thick white moustache and receding white hair. He wears weathered grey robes.

He can be a bit arrogant in his worship, but not in a way that could be considered dangerous. He doesn't have the best personality, but he is strong-willed in his ideas and is good at keeping the people's spirits up.

On the Stream
Vox Machina first met him in Whitestone's temple to Erathis, The Lady's Chamber, while the town was still under the rule of the Briarwoods. He was in the middle of giving a sermon to a small group of citizens. Percy—who, at the time, was disguised as a peasant through the use of a Seeming spell—talked with Keeper Yennen about hope for Whitestone. Percy dropped several hints about being a surviving member of the de Rolo family, and about the coming rebellion being put into motion by Vox Machina. The priest seemed to understand, and said nothing more as the party left.

Vox Machina returned the next day after killing Kerrion Stonefell and setting fire to his estate. Keeper Yennen was speaking to a significantly larger audience. He told the crowd that he had heard whispers of revolution led by a hidden ally, and that he believed it was time for them to band together and show support. He said a short prayer to Erathis and the crowd began to dissipate.

When Keeper Yennen noticed Vox Machina standing in the back, he led them around to the back of the amphitheater and into a small one-room building. He told the group that he had spoken with the other community leaders, but they were not yet convinced this rebellion could succeed. There had been other attempts previously, but all of them failed. Keeper Yennen's informant within the castle had also not been heard from in several weeks. He then told the group that the Briarwoods had been rebuilding and repurposing something beneath Whitestone called the Ziggurat. At that point, an elderly man entered the room, whom Percy recognized as Archibald Desnay. Vox Machina spoke with this man for several minutes then left to continue their assault on the New Nobles.
