Soren and Opesa Geddmore

Soren and Opesa Geddmore are the parents of Shaun Gilmore. The couple live in the village of Shandal in Marquet. As NPCs in Critical Role, Soren and Opesa are played by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Both of the Geddmores are described as having dark, sun-weathered skin and bright eyes.

Soren has thinning white hair that grew long, straight down towards his back. When Vox Machina met him he was wearing simple long robe-like dress with simple cloth pants that went around some slipper-like shoes.

Opesa has graying hair and wears a small pair of glasses.

Personality
Both of the Geddmores appear to be hospitable, kind, and generous. When visited by Vox Machina, they were welcoming to strangers who abruptly appeared in their house and multiple times invited them to have a meal together.

Before Campaign 1
Soren and Opesa Geddmore live in a modest home in the village of Shandal, located southwest of Ank'Harel in the Rumedam Desert of Marquet. Around the late 770s PD, they had a son named Shaun, who was a skilled runechild sorcerer, and left for Tal'Dorei around 796 PD where he changed his name to Shaun Gilmore and started his own business, Gilmore's Glorious Goods.

Campaign 1: Vox Machina
In their search for the Vestiges of Divergence, Vox Machina were transported by Gilmore via a Teleporation Circle to his childhood bedroom in Soren and Opesa's home. The party met the Geddmores while they were having dinner, who welcomed them in after explaining their relation to Shaun. Vox Machina asked for directions to Ank'Harel, which Soren showed them, and gave them a locket of Gilmore's containing a picture of himself.

Relationships
Soren and Opesa appear to have a strained relationship with their son Shaun Gilmore. After moving to Tal'Dorei from Marquet, he changed his surname and hadn't visited them in fifteen years, despite having a Teleportation Circle leading to their house. When Vox Machina told Gilmore that his parents seemed proud of him, Gilmore said that it's "taken a while".
