Shaun Gilmore

Shaun Gilmore, better known as Gilmore, is a wizard merchant. He owned the Gilmore's Glorious Goods shop in the city of Emon and was planning to open another shop in Westruun. As an NPC, he is played by Matthew Mercer.

Character Description
Gilmore is described as a very handsome man, with long, thick, black hair that he usually ties back into a ponytail. Recently, he has decided to grow out a goatee, which he keeps well-braided. He wears what Matthew Mercer describes as "a wizard's tracksuit", with gold-trimmed purple robes that open up at the chest, and various golden necklaces and medallions.

Gilmore has a very "Broadway" personality, often using grandiose gestures and manners of speaking, though he is easily flustered. He is shown to be a very able businessman, having told Vox Machina that he was in the process of opening another store in Westruun. He is also a very adept wizard, as much of what he creates is out of the ordinary and different from standard enchantments. However, he sometimes tends to use his customers as test subjects for new kinds of enchantments, as seen with the unfortunate side effects of Scanlan's Potion of Scrying.

Despite all of this, Gilmore has shown that he does not like to feel that he has been cheated. When asked about opening a line of credit when Vox Machina first appeared to not have enough money for the goods they wanted, he became very cautious. While willing to do so, he warned them that, should they make this arrangement and not repay him within a month, he would send people after them.

Relationship with Vox Machina
He is the chief sponsor of Vox Machina and provides the group a discount for all of his merchandise.

Gilmore appears to have some sort of relationship with Vax'ildan, as the two ended up going out to eat, drink, and take a walk around Emon when Vax asked. During, Vax talked with Gilmore about his feelings and decided to just remain friends before giving Gilmore a kiss.

Occupation of Emon
Gilmore was attending Uriel's speech in the Cloudtop District of Emon when the Chroma Conclave attacked. He became separated from Vox Machina and they had to leave without him. When they caught up to him again, they found him near death in the basement of his destroyed shop. Gilmore was injured during the initial attack, when he bravely rescued Salda Tal'Dorei and her children.

He went to Whitestone with the rest of the Emon refugees in.
