Goran Vedmire

Goran Vedmire was a goliath hired by the Briarwoods in Wildmount to assist in taking over Whitestone from the de Rolos. After the fall of Whitestone, he was given the title of "Duke" by the Briarwoods, lording over the denizens as one of the New Nobles. When Vox Machina liberated Whitestone, Vedmire continued living there to serve the community as penance for his crimes against the people. As an NPC, he is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance and Personality
As with most goliaths, he is a large, gray skinned man of immense strength. While he displayed cruelty during his reign as a noble, he also accepted when he was beaten and showed respect toward his adversaries. He agreed to serve the city as payment for his crimes and calmly acknowledged his defeat at the hands of Trisha in the arm-wrestling competition during the Whitestone Winter's Crest festival.

Abilities
When Scanlan Shorthalt attacked his mansion and guards, Vedmire was unable to do much aside from chase after the bard as his house began to burn down. Keeper Yennen claimed that Vedmire "wields a blade as long as his body".
