Uten

 is a tiefling jeweler living in the City of Brass. He works in the Flame Garden together with Senokir. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Uten is a red-skinned tiefling with long, deep gray hair that extends to the middle of his back. His horns curl to the front like ram horns. He wears a white-and-gold robe.

Personality
Uten is the more perceptive and paranoid of the pair of jewelers.

Background
Uten's accent indicates an origin in Wildemount. He has been in the City of Brass for about 12 years, and has worked with Senokir for 10.

Vox Machina were followed through the streets of the City of Brass by two Efreeti and Vax grabbed the attention of two random passersby on the street to ask a question. These passersby were Uten and his business partner Senokir, who noticed the group's pursuers and told them to follow them. Uten and Senokir led the party down an alleyway into a small storage shed to wait out the danger.

Senokir introduced himself and Uten to the party, explaining that they were jewelers in the city and Vox Machina now owed them a favor. After a few more minutes of waiting, they headed out of the shed and down the street to the back door of the duo's jewelry shop. The party told them that they were seeking the Plate of the Dawnmartyr and it was last-known to be owned by a fire giant who won it in a card game. Senokir said that there were only three fire giants in the city who were not enslaved. He offered to help the party find what they sought but they would owe him even more afterward. They agreed, and asked what the best way would be to travel in the city without drawing attention. Uten apologized and pulled out some manacles to disguise the party as slaves. The party disguised themselves with a mix of the provided manacles and illusion magic, and allowed Uten and Senokir to lead them through the city.

Uten and Senokir lead them to Juuraiel's home to make a deal for the Vestige of Divergence. Along the way, Keyleth chatted with Uten, asking if he and Senokir often played tour guide for new arrivals in the city. Uten said that this was the first time because newcomers were usually either customers or quickly arrested. He remarked that Senokir seemed to be strangely enjoying it. Uten admitted to Keyleth that their lives are probably not as interesting as she imagined them to be, as they were just fine jewelers, not bounty hunters.

The next morning, Uten lead the part to the Arches, and left them there, not willing to get involved with fighting a Pit fiend.

The Vestige collected, Vox Machina returned to the jewelers' shop to check in with the duo. Uten was in the back of the shop working on project when they arrived.
