Vex'ahlia commissioned Karen to create custom armor for Trinket made from the carapace of a bulette.

Tiberius commissioned Karen to create a five-pointed throwing weapon.

Scanlan commissioned Karen to create seven chainmail chokers.

Aftermatch
Though her destiny is not revealed she most likely perished during the attack of the Chroma Conclave to Emon

Vox Machina
Karen always seems keen to build the odd and eccentric machinations of Vox Machina, as it provides a challenge and they usually provide the materials necessary from their own supplies.
