Appearance
Brom is a built and armored man, the tallest of the Tal'Dorei Council. He has a thick square jaw that is unshaven.

Background
Brom Goldhand took up his position in the Tal'Dorei Council three months before he met Vox Machina. The position had previously been held by General Krieg.

Arbiter Brom Goldhand was present during the discussion of what to do with the Horn of Orcus Vox Machina brought back from the Underdark. He wanted to have it studied at the Alabaster Lyceum, although wasn't against having it shipped to Vasselheim.

Brom attended the feast held in the Palace for the Briarwoods.

The day after Vox Machina's first encounter with the Briarwoods, Brom Goldhand was present at their meeting with Sovereign Uriel. He took out a holy symbol of Ioun and cast Zone of Truth over the party to ensure that none of them would lie in their testimonies, however most of them were able to resist its effects.

Shaun Gilmore told Vox Machina that Brom Goldhand had been killed by the Chroma Conclave during their attack on Emon, having witnessed him being burnt to death by dragonfire.

Several months later, Brom reappeared in Whitestone at a council meeting atop the Ziggurat. He seemed to be in fairly good health, although most of his body was covered in terrible burns.
