Dariax Zaveon

Dariax Zaveon is a dwarven sorcerer who appears in Exandria Unlimited. He is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Dariax is a young mountain dwarf with wild, floppy, reddish-auburn hair and a chinstrap beard. He wears a vest over a chain shirt, and has a compass rose chained on his light chain necklace.

After touching the thorny circlet and failing his wisdom saving throw, Dariax's eyes turned inky black.

Personality
Dariax is easygoing, reacting cheerfully to being pranked by his friends. However, he becomes intense when he realises he’s being lied to, as he has had bad experiences with people who lie a lot.

Background
Dariax grew up in Turst Fields. He has worked in thieves' circles.

Dorian Storm
Dariax and Dorian have a friendly relationship. Dariax appeared touched when Dorian referred to him as a friend, and Dorian told Poska that "if he doesn't like someone, I don't like someone."

Little Mister
Dariax and Little Mister are not on the best terms and have some external tension with each other.

Orym
Dariax cares about Orym, despite the small amount of time they’ve spent together. He appeared confused and concerned by Orym’s reluctance to engage in crime, saying that if Orym didn’t start “fucking people over”, he wouldn’t survive.

Quotes
Dariax: This entire world is built on it. I've spent my whole life getting fucked over. If you don't start fucking people over you're not going to survive, buddy. I know you're from some highfalutin' mountain town you've been talking about, you know, but like, welcome to Emon, man.
 * Orym: I just don't like fucking people over, Dariax.
 * "You don't have to be a bad person to do bad things if it's hurtin' other bad people."
 * "If you steal something that may have originally been stolen, do you unsteal it?"

Trivia

 * Dariax is the player character that Matt has played the longest on the Critical Role channel, with 8 episodes. He is followed by Clayton Sharpe, who appeared in all four episodes of UnDeadwood.
 * The similarity between the names Dariax and Dorian caused amusing mixups for Aabria Iyengar and some of the others at the table, reminiscent of Vex and Vax. Mercer noted that he and Robbie Daymond had picked their characters' names independently, and sometimes that's what you get.
