Shenn

Spireling Shenn is the Spireling of Secrets in the Clasp's Emon sect.

As an NPC, he is played by Matthew Mercer in Critical Role, and Liam O'Brien in.

Appearance
Spireling Shenn is a six-foot-tall human with long blond hair that trails past the middle of his back. He has fine features, although his face is a bit weathered from age. He wears a dark gray cloak and has a red-tinted monocle that he wears over one eye.

After Emon was devastated by the Chroma Conclave in late 810 PD, Vox Machina ventured into the Clasp's territory to seek an alliance. They hoped to ensure the safety and survival of Emon's remaining citizens while also developing an information network with the Clasp's spies.

Spireling Shenn came forward to negotiate the deal. In return for the Clasp's aid to Vox Machina, Shenn asked for an introduction to certain key power figures in Vasselheim so he could establish his crime network there. Percy seemed ready to take the deal, but Vax'ildan—himself a member of the Clasp—refused to shake hands. Shenn then made clear that Vox Machina would not be welcome among the Clasp in the future.

Assum Emring mentioned to Vox Machina and their war council in Whitestone that Tofor Brotoras, who had remained in Emon, was working with Shenn to get survivors underground. However, this information may have been unreliable as it actually came from Raishan in disguise as Seeker Assum.

Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn
Shenn remains the Spireling of Secrets in 836 PD. After the Myriad arrived in Emon, the Clasp went on the defensive, forcing Shenn's ambitions to spread the Clasp elsewhere to be put on hold.

Campaign 3: Bells Hells
After stealing papers from Evon Hytroga, Bells Hells discovered coded correspondence between Evon and Shenn concerning the trade of artifacts. Orym recognized the initials used for Shenn, remembering that Shenn had previously attempted to make a deal with Keyleth.
