Taliesin Jaffe

Taliesin Jaffe is a voice actor and director, and plays the character Percy. He also played Mezek in and a fictional version of himself in.

Taliesin's first role playing experience was GURPS in high school when he was 13. He also hosted a Rift game, a World of Darkness game, Paranoia, and Hole. He also gave Hole core rulebooks to now Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer for his birthday.

Before the current campaign, fellow voice actor and player Marisha Ray and him were in another pen and paper RPG game together.

The first game the group played together, Taliesin played a Dragonborn Paladin. Because he was one of the more experienced players at the time, his purpose for that first game was to try and make sure everyone else stayed alive.

Taliesin chose the Gunslinger class because it was interesting to him and he felt it could fill a role that did not exist within the group.

When converting over the game, Matt had to create a custom class for Percy as he is a gunslinger. Matt and Taliesin both sat down and took a full day to switch over the character and all of his stats and abilities.

When asked who he would be if he was not Percy, Taliesin said Tiberius.

He is often called the Anti-Wheaton by other members of the cast, as he rolls many criticals.

During Percy's resurrection ritual in, Taliesin was watching from another room. After the ritual succeeded, Matt revealed that Taliesin was the one who ultimately decided if Percy would want to come back, depending on the actions of Vox Machina and their players up to that point.
