Balgus

Balgus is a champion tavern fighter and the owner of Balgus Brewery, the only brewery in Kraghammer. As an NPC, he is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
His grin looked like a "railroad of terror."

Personality
Incredibly tough, Balgus laughed off a strong hit that he didn't see coming from Vax'ildan.

Vox Machina first encountered him while he was passed out drunk at the Iron Hearth Tavern in Kraghammer. He traded a cask of "Thistle Branch Darkblood Wine" to the group for a cup of dragon's blood. Balgus later attempted to start a tavern fight with Trinket and was excited to be fighting a bear for the first time. Vox Machina came to Trinket's rescue, and Balgus stopped trying to fight after Keyleth performed a dance in bear form while impersonating Trinket. The dwarf found the dancing bear incredibly amusing, telling it to give a happy growl.
