Khime

Bookkeeper Khime is the manager of the Omnival Library in Ank'Harel.

As an NPC in Critical Role, Khime is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Khime is a shifty-looking orc man with a pointed nose and shallow features, thinning slicked-back hair, a mustache goatee. He wears long, plain robes with a satchel over the shoulder.

Personality
Khime believes that malevolent forces are trying to undermine Ank'Harel, making him observant but prone to believing in conspiracy theories.

Background
Khime works at the Omnival Library in Ank'Harel.

Campaign 1: Vox Machina
In early 811 PD, Khime was fetched by Treev and Vox Machina to remove or transfer an enchantment from Retort, Anna Ripley's former gun. He identified the nature of the enchantment as a type of scrying enchantment and removed it. He then, for an additional fee, identified Vex'ahlia's mystery tea set as a Tea Set of Envenoming.

Call of the Netherdeep
By 836 PD, Khime is the manager of the Omnival Library. If the adventuring party is allied with the Allegiance of Allsight, Prolix Yusaf contacts them to find out who planted a Ring of Red Fury on his person to get him framed as a traitor, sending them to Khime in order to track down the origin of the ring. At the Omnival Library, Khime produces records that point the party in the direction of the Sentinels of Memory, and Lymmle Wist, an Allegiance professor and secretly a member of the Sentinels. When asked of his opinion, Khime believes that the Sentinels are working together with the Consortium of the Vermilion Dream against their common enemy, the Allegiance of Allsight.

Treev Bonebreaker
Khime and Treev Bonebreaker seem to have a working relationship, with Khime being one of the enchanters Treev has contact with. Although Treev bears no ill will towards Khime, it seems that Khime is nervous of Treev.

Prolix Yusaf
Khime is a friend of Prolix Yusaf, who trusts him to help find the person intending to frame him as a traitor to the Allegiance of Allsight.

Trivia

 * When Khime was first described by Matt in, he was not described as an orc, or as any race in particular. He was first identified as an orc in Call of the Netherdeep.
 * The pronunciation guide at the beginning of Call of the Netherdeep says that Khime is a member of the Allegiance of Allsight. This is contradicted within the adventure itself, which says that he isn't a member.


 * Liam jokingly compares Khime's appearance to a picture of Matt on a carousel.
