Vouk Strono

Master Vouk is an older gentleman in long robes, who worked for Sir Kerrion Stonefell and the Briarwoods. As an NPC, he is portrayed by Matthew Mercer.

Whitestone
Part of the original incursion to take over Whitestone he worked as an enforcer for Sir Kerrion Stonefell. During his time in their employ the Briarwoods took him beneath the castle and showed him what they were doing despite looking down on him as little more than a peasant.

In Whispers, he discussed with Kerrion increasing the amount of defenses and traps the mansion had in preparation for the expected arrival of Vox Machina. However, Vox Machina then arrived and burst through the door, although they used seeming to look like peasants. Kerrion and the others were quickly killed in a surprise assault and Vouk was knocked unconscious by Keyleth.

Vouk was brought back to consciousness while being held and gagged. He was forced to answer Vox Machina's various questions about Whitestone and the Briarwoods before he pleaded for his life, offering to help them sneak into Whitestone. Percy told them to let him live but had Grog tear out Vouk's tongue. Percy then used a warm gun barrel to cauterize the wound and then brand the de Rolo family crest into Vouk's head. This left Vax, Vex and Keyleth uncomfortable with Percy's actions.

Grog then threw Vouk out the window into the rain. Vouk got to his feet and ran to the guards who helped him out of his bonds, but by then the house was already on fire and Vox Machina had gone.
