Orym

Orym is a halfling fighter and member of the Air Ashari who appeared in Exandria Unlimited. He is played by Liam O'Brien.

Appearance
Orym has a short shock of brown hair less than an inch long. He has a full-sleeve tattoo of swirling winds featuring Catha and Ruidus, the moons of Exandria, on his right arm. He wears green armor with a leaf theme.

Personality
Orym is generally serious, dutiful and level-headed. He considers himself responsible for “babysitting” his friends' antics, and makes efforts to protect them in combat. Orym prefers to leave complicated, dangerous matters in the hands of more experienced figures whom he trusts.

Orym is uncomfortable with getting involved in crime or “fucking people over”, believing there’s more to the world than corruption and temptation. Dariax considered him to be the most moral member of their group.

Background
Orym served as a guard when he lived in Zephrah. There, he overheard conversations with Vox Machina.

His father's surname is Tarrintel, but he does not use the name.

Relationships
Orym alludes to working for a female leader in Zephrah, later revealed to be Keyleth, but it was a long time ago; he also says she had told him about the people of Emon and that she was exactly right about them. He later said he was aware of Keyleth and her possession of a Vestige, and that made him conscious of the danger and unlikelihood of stumbling upon a Vestige himself.
