History
Uriel Tal'Dorei III ruled Tal'Dorei alongside his wife Empress Salda.

In 809 PD, during the Winter's Crest festival in Emon, there was a staged assassination attempt thwarted by General Krieg. Following the attempt on their lives, the royal family grew strange and withdrawn, keeping Uriel away from the Tal'Dorei Council. His wife Salda demanded to be present at all meetings, and was often seen whispering into Uriel's ear. It tuned out that the family was possessed by demonic forces. These demonic forces had been addling the mind of Uriel to use him as a mouthpiece for their plot.

When the evil feeding on the throne was growing more bold, Vox Machina and Allura Vysoren infiltrated the palace. As they entered the throne room, they saw Uriel surrounded by his possessed family. Vox Machina managed to banish the shadows from within their bodies causing the throne itself to crack. and the glabrezu named Juurezel emerged and Vox Machina did battle with it. During the battle, Pike was killed, and as soon as the fiend was slain the party hurried to a nearby temple of Sarenrae to resurrect her. When Vox Machina returned to the throne room, they discovered that the royal family was still lying catatonic on the floor. After inspecting their bodies, they realized that their souls were missing and their bodies were failing. Vox Machina successfully restored the souls of the royal family.

He thanked the party for the bravery and heroism, and for saving him and his family, and possibly all of Emon. As thanks, Uriel offered Vox Machina a place on the Tal'Dorei Council and told them that he would be throwing another Winter's Crest Festival to make up for the previous being ruined by an assassination attempt. He told them that they would be celebrated as heroes, and that he had commissioned the construction of a keep for them just outside the city.

A week later, during the festival, Uriel's son Gren was kidnapped by the Dread Emperor. Vox Machina chased after them, killed the Dread Emperor, and returned Gren to his family, along with many of the other kidnapped children.
