Kashaw Vesh

Kashaw Vesh is a human cleric and a guest ally of Vox Machina. Kashaw is portrayed by Will Friedle.

Character Description
Kashaw has a striking appearance. One of his eyes is blue, but the other is bright yellow. He has a leather cord adorning his head. His right arm is covered in one-inch cuts.

Initially, Kashaw was unenthusiastic about working with Vox Machina. His demeanor suggested that he was an unwilling participant in the party and the task at hand. In particular, he seemed to disdain Keyleth's optimism about their predicament. Despite his initial impatience, he boldly kissed Keyleth as he parted from the party. During their next encounter, Kashaw apologized to Keyleth for stealing the kiss, as it wasn't his to take. He and Keyleth then shared a moment discussing how it was his second kiss and Keyleth's first.

Kashaw revealed that he was chosen to be the cleric of a dark goddess named Vesh that married him from the moment he was born. During his fifteenth name-day, they consummated the marriage and, as part of a ritual, Vesh inflicted fifty one-inch cuts on his right arm, which Kashaw then repeated on his own right arm. He also revealed that he was chosen and trained to be a healer to balance Vesh's the overly dark presence.

Kashaw also revealed that he was born with a pair of bright yellow eyes; the fact that one of them is now blue was not explained. Kashaw also revealed that he is the only person left alive that knows about Vesh, as she killed his entire village—possibly related to his attempt to murder her, be it a cause or a consequence.

Kashaw established a catchphrase by repeatedly asking, "Is she always like this?", when referring to Keyleth's optimism.

Kashaw developed a deep respect and familial love for Zahra. He said that she saved his life even though she didn't have to, and she has shown him what it means to have family.

Kashaw and Zahra later helped Vox Machina in the Sunken Tomb to recover one of the Vestiges of Divergence. When Vex'ahlia fell to a trap, Kashaw helped to resurrect her.
