Background
Some time ago, Syldor encountered a human woman and sired two half-elf children with her: Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia. When the twins were ten years old, Syldor had them brought to Syngorn to live with him. However, Syldor was very distant and cold towards his children, which—combined with the similar attitude of the other elves in the city—led to the twins running away one autumn night.

Several years later, Vex and Vax encountered their father in Emon while doing some odd jobs with the rest of their party, known as Vox Machina. Syldor was in the capital on business as ambassador of Syngorn. However, his contact within the Tal'Dorei Council had gone missing, and he hired the party to find him so that he could get back to work.
