Riskel Daxio

Lord Riskel Daxio was an elven male on the Council of Tal'Dorei and the Master of Commerce in Emon. As an NPC, he was played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Riskel Daxio had long, strawberry-blond hair, pulled into a tight ponytail, and wore dark clothing and loose, decorative armor.

Background
Riskel was a member of the Council of Tal'Dorei, as the Master of Commerce, and had been a friend of Uriel since his youth. As the head of planning and construction, Riskel was responsible for the construction of Greyskull Keep for Vox Machina and accountable for "bridge consruction" between Tal'Dorei and Wildemount. Unbeknownst to Vox Machina or the Council of Tal'Dorei, Riskel was a worshipper of Vecna. We're merely here "to finalize the paperwork for the bridge construction." She looks over and gives a nod to Lord Daxio, who gives her a nod back. "And maybe see the city for a while, and make our way back.

While in Whitestone, Vox Machina discovered letters written by Riskel to Professor Anders. The contents of the letters revealed that Riskel was working for the Briarwoods against the interests of Emon. One of the letters found was attempting to plant information within Wildemount that would lead their investigation team to believe the Briarwoods had been found dead.

Vox Machina informed Uriel of Riskel's betrayal, providing the letters as proof, which were verified by Assum Emring. Uriel sent his guards to arrest Riskel, only to learn that the traitor had already left three days prior. Vox Machina then tracked him down, hiding beneath the city with the Clasp, a criminal organization that offered Riskel the documentation and a secure passage to get out of Emon to Ank'Harel.
