Byron Anders

Professor Anders was Percy's former tutor, assisted the Briarwoods in the seizure of Whitestone, and became one of Percy's targets for revenge. As an NPC, he was played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
An older gentleman with very, very short grey hair and a little bit of facial hair.

Reunion in Whitestone Castle
While looking for Cassandra de Rolo in Whitestone Castle, Vax'ildan surprised Anders, who was threatening Cassandra. Anders cut Cassandra's throat in front of Vax, but it was actually an illusion. Vox Machina engaged Anders in combat—and defeated him—with Percy delivering the killing shot.

Afterwards, Vax searched the Professor's desk and found a collection of letters describing the Briarwoods' machinations, written in the hand of Lord Riskel Daxio.
