Yeza Brenatto

Yeza Brenatto is a halfling alchemist and Nott's husband. As an NPC, Yeza is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Yeza is short even for a Halfling. He has bushy brown hair, long sideburns, narrow shoulders and a large nose. He is described as "not a looker" though he is to Nott.

Background
Nott told the Mighty Nein that her former goblin clan captured Yeza after Nott became the torturer's assistant. Due to her position, Nott had contact with him and treated him kindly, and the two become friends. The goblin clan despised this, their initial orders were for him to be killed, but allowed this to continue as he provided information they deemed valuable. Nott learned a lot from him, including alchemy, the halfling language, and information on the halfling settlement of Felderwin Village. When the clan requested that Nott kill Yeza after extensive interrogation, Nott decided to free Yeza and escape. She got drunk and shot another goblin in the butt, with Nott and Yeza running in opposite directions away from the clan. Yeza's fate is currently unknown. Nott revealed Yeza's name to Caleb (and to Kiri, unintentionally) while they searched for a rock together. Upon returning to the rest of the group, Kiri mimicked the name to the Mighty Nein, much to Nott's displeasure.

This version of events was later revealed to be mostly untrue. Yeza was actually Nott's husband. Nott was born as a halfling woman named Veth. She and Yeza were married and had a son named Luke. When all of them were captured in a goblin raid on Felderwin, Veth distracted the goblins to give Yeza and Luke a chance to get away. They did get away, but Veth did not.

When the Mighty Nein reached Felderwin, they discovered that Yeza's shop/home had been burned down in the Xhorhasian assault. A local crownsguard noted that Yeza went missing during the attack and had not been seen since, though no body had been found. Inside a chest in Yeza's basement, the Nein found two pages from a diary or letter by Vess DeRogna, who had worked with him. The second page of this document referred to him as an alchemist "obnoxious in his simplicity" who had good instincts but wasn't intelligent enough to betray the Cerberus Assembly. Yeza apparently produced a vial of dunamis extract, which the Nein took with them.

Yeza's son Luke Brenatto assumed that Yeza was dead after the raid.
