Korrin

Korrin is Keyleth's father and the former acting headmaster of the Air Ashari during her Aramenté. As an NPC, Korrin is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Korrin is an older, half-elven man with long silver hair. He wears the blue and white robes of the Air Ashari. After the battle against Thordak in Emon, he developed a slight limp.

Background
Korrin married a fellow member of the Air Ashari, Vilya, and in around 789 PD, they had a daughter named Keyleth. When Keyleth was a child, Vilya left Zephrah to complete her Aramenté, but she never returned. Dwala, the Voice of the Tempest at the time, died of illness, and Korrin stepped in as temporary headmaster until Keyleth could come of age and complete the Aramenté in her mother's stead. When Keyleth left Zephrah in 809 PD, Korrin had scouts secretly follow her for the first part of her journey to Stilben to ensure her safety.

Arc 3: The Chroma Conclave
About a week after the destruction of Pyrah at the hands of Thordak on Winter's Crest in 810 PD, Korrin arrived with a number of other members of the Air Ashari to assist the survivors however possible. He accompanied Vox Machina, who had arrived to help as well, on their trip to the caldera to investigate the elemental rift in the hopes of closing it. Upon sighting considerable enemies on the way there the group decided that attacking from multiple direction would be for the best, so Korrin took the Air Ashari on a different path.

When Vox Machina reached the portal, Keyleth signaled her father with Skywrite and he emerged from a clearing with the Air Ashari. The Ashari attempted to close the portal but were unable to do so alone. Vox Machina assisted with the various teleportation magics at their disposal, until Vax'ildan wrapped his Cape of the Mountebank around it, sealing it and destroying the cape. The ritual complete, Korrin commended his daughter and said he was proud of her. He also said that he was thinking of staying with the Fire Ashari for a while to help them rebuild. He encouraged her to save Tal'Dorei, finish her Aramenté, and share whatever wisdom she gained with her people upon her return. Keyleth asked how she should contact him should she need the Ashari, to which he simply told her to come home.

On 6 Misuthar 810 PD in preparation for the Siege of Emon, Keyleth realized that Syngorn's Verdant Guard and the Daxio Outriders would be vulnerable to attacks from the wyvern riders in Thordak's army. She, Vax'ildan, and Allura Vysoren Transported via Plants to Zephrah to ask Korrin and the Air Ashari for aid. When she arrived Korrin informed her that he was already aware of the situation and readily offered the Ashari's support. They discussed tactics for a while before Keyleth and the others returned to Whitestone.

The next evening during the Siege of Emon, Korrin and the other Air Ashari skydancers arrived and summoned a storm over Emon. In the cover the storm created, the skydancers attacked the wyvern riders, keeping them from harrying the ground troops. During the battle, Korrin was injured and developed a slight limp.

Arc 4: The Adventures of Taryon Darrington
Upon completing her Aramenté, Keyleth returned to Zephrah for her coronation. Korrin lead the ceremony and presented Keyleth with the Mantle of the Tempest. During the festivities that followed, Keyleth realized that she didn't know if she was required to stay in Zephrah now or if she was allowed to continue on her adventures, so she sought out Korrin. He informed her that her main role would be to advise the Ashari should conflict or difficulty arise. Keyleth admitted to him that she sometimes felt angry with him for not sufficiently warning her how cruel the outside world could be, or better preparing her for her Aramenté. Korrin said they tried to warn her, and admitted to her about the scouts he had follow her at the beginning of her journey.

Keyleth asked what comes next for the Air Ashari and Korrin said he thought isolation may no longer be the best approach. They agreed that perhaps if the Ashari had allies to call upon, the Thordak incident would have gone differently. Keyleth told her father she needed to travel with Vox Machina for a while longer but would return to Zephrah when she's done. Korrin accepted this and told her that she was free to come and go as she pleased, as Zephrah was her home.

Just before Vox Machina went through ziggurat sphere beneath Whitestone into the Shadowfell, Keyleth checked in with Eskil Ryndarien to prepare for their journey better. After some cajoling, she convinced him to Send a message to Korrin, notifying him that Keyleth is going to visit the Shadowfell and might be gone for a while.

After Campaign 1
An unspecified number of years after Vox Machina's battle against Vecna in Vasselheim, at dusk on Cuersaar 13th, the Night of Ascension, Keyleth stood with her father at the edge of Zephrah overlooking the sunset. Keyleth mused that she could better appreciate the beauty of the world because of the terrible things she'd seen. Korrin told her that he was proud of her, that he loved her and that she would always be his little girl.

In 836 PD, both Korrin and Keyleth reunited with Vilya after several decades of absence and her presumed death, thanks to the Mighty Nein finding her on the island of Rumblecusp. They continued to live in Zephrah and served as elders of the village under the leadership of Keyleth, the Voice of the Tempest.
