Void

Void, cleric of the war god Nuada, is the son of Frances and Navira and a Voidwalker, one of the powerful tieflings who serve as intermediaries between the realms, though he has yet to fully uncover this part of himself. Separated from his mother by an outside attack the day after his birth, Void lived among the priests of Nuada for most of his early life before leaving to learn more about the Voidwalkers. Void was eventually summoned to Maclilcan as one of the original adventurers chosen by the Wish spell, and was the only one of the original five to be present throughout each of the party's main adventures. For a long time, it seemed as if Void would never learn his true heritage, but thanks to a negotiated settlement between Kleitos the Black and Felurian, he recently discovered his connection to Frances and Navira and his Voidwalker heritage. Armed with this knowledge, Void has recently become the target of attacks by agents of Death who wish to use his powers to open a portal to the material world. Despite his powers, Void has always been humble and maintained good relations with every member of the group. He is often regarded as the heart and soul of the Wish's Chosen; on the only occasion he acted against this perception, during his attack on the guard captain outside Krah-TeJah, even Arlo Bilberry, who has known him the longest of any party member, was caught off guard. Void debuted in "A Wishful Start" and has appeared in every episode since except "Freedom!," Rhogar's solo episode.

Description and Personality
Void is a relatively skilled fighter; though nowhere near as proficient as Rhogar, Melthrax, or Kleitos the Black, he is able to use his magical abilities and weapons training to good effect against weaker enemies. His greatest strength comes from his divine connection. Void's divine magic allows him to heal his allies, use light and fire against his enemies, and perform other useful tasks outside the abilities of Rhogar, Isla, or even Thagnos. Void is most useful as a defensive fighter, holding back and supporting his weaker allies while Kleitos, Rhogar, and Melthrax take the fight to the enemy.

Thanks to his tiefling heritage, Void's appearance is extremely striking. He is of average height and build, standing around 5'8" and weighing in at one hundred forty pounds, but his long, amber-brown hair, amber eyes, and dark grey skin mean he stands out in a crowd. He has two short, curved horns growing from atop his head, which he adorns with various small ornaments, and long, pointed ears. Void typically wears white and blue robes decorated with the symbols of his goddess, Nuada, over his plate armor. When getting ready for bed, Void occasionally puts a pair of socks on his horns to prevent them from damaging pillows and bedclothes.

Despite his fearsome appearance, Void is reserved, introverted individual, more comfortable with his romance novels than with everyday interaction. He is kind-hearted and intelligent, but his sheltered upbringing in the church of Nuada made him somewhat naive to the ways of the outside world. Typically gentle, Void's fury can still be terrible when roused. As seen with the guard captain at Krah-TeJah, Void's anger occasionally makes him act aggressively, though he usually regrets his actions afterwards. Generally speaking, Void serves as the heart of the group, supporting the emotional as well as medical needs of the party using both his divine healing powers and innate wisdom.

Above all else, Void is driven by the desire to find a community. Abandoned a day after his birth, Void never felt fully at home in the church of Nuada. As the only tiefling there, he found the other initiates could never fully relate to his particular experience. The Wish's Chosen have provided him with the first group to call his own, but even so, Void is consistently excited to see other tieflings, particularly those with a connection to the Voidwalkers. Void's need for community speaks to his deep sense of loneliness and isolation, his single greatest weakness and one that may, eventually, be used against him.

Frances
Void's life has thus far been defined by his search for his missing parents. His father, Frances', absence from his life has ironically helped to shape him in ways his presence might not have done. Until it was revealed to him by Felurian, however, Void had no idea who his father might be or if he was still alive. Though he still has yet to contact Frances, his desire to do so has only been strengthened.

Navira
Having been taken from his mother a day after his birth, Void has no relationship with her whatsoever. Despite persistently searching, it was not until "In Felurian's Arms" that he discovered her name at all. That recent revelation has given further impetus to Void's quest to find his parents, but as of now, he has yet to make contact with Navira.

Felurian
Like the rest of the party, Void was initially wary of Felurian thanks to her strange relationship with Rhogar and her fey nature. Her long and secret conversation with Rhogar and Isla only served to heighten Void's concern, as did her impromptu request of Kleitos the Black. Upon learning she was his aunt, however, and receiving her information on the identity and whereabouts of his parents, Void immediately took a liking to Felurian, calling her "Auntie" and expressing his desire to see her again when the party departed her castle to return to the material plane.

Jeremias
Jeremias was Void's best and only friend during his time with the priests of Nuada. Little else is known of their relationship, but Void often speaks of him fondly, suggesting the two were close.

Arlo Bilberry
As the last surviving members of the original Wish's Chosen, Arlo and Void have a special relationship unmatched by any other member of the party. Despite their shy natures, the two are close friends who communicate more by their actions than by their words. They have a good insight into each other's emotional state. After the apparent death of Bertram Bilberry by the blade of Kleitos the Black, it was Void who was most concerned for Arlo, though his attempt to hold Felix hostage as a way to prove a point to the halfling absolutely failed. Nevertheless, Void is most comfortable speaking to Arlo of any of the Wish's Chosen, and generally regards him as one of his best friends.

Felix Summerthorn
Void and Felix Summerthorn have a close, almost brotherly, relationship. Felix's extroverted nature helps bring Void out of his shell, and the two share a mutual love of drink that makes them unusual among the atypically sober Wish's Chosen. Despite very occasional clashes, as occurred shortly after the "death" of Bertram, the two have remained close throughout the party's many adventures.

Rhogar
Void and Rhogar have a friendly relationship, but their bond has thus far not gone deeper than that. Void admires and follows Rhogar for his charisma and strength of character, but is a little too much in awe of his leadership to approach him in a more personal sense. Still, Void considers Rhogar a friend, and particularly after "Freedom!," has become more impressed with Rhogar's moral characteristics.

Isla Clearstone
Though initially somewhat hesitant around each other, Void and Isla Clearstone have become close friends over the course of their time together. Isla understands and appreciates Void's sensitive nature better than many in the party, and Void has returned the favor from time to time, such as when he comforted her after Rhogar's unusual behavior. Despite her occasionally-childish nature, Isla's emotional intelligence and her calm, well-stated advice have made her something of a mother figure to Void.

Kleitos the Black
Void has always been intimidated by Kleitos the Black for his skill, withdrawn nature, and ruthlessness. For much of their time together, Void felt as though he were unworthy by Kleitos' estimation, given the warrior's seeming disapproval of magic and displays of weakness. That changed in the Feywild, however. There, not only did Kleitos put himself in harm's way twice to save Void from the clutches of Death, he also revealed his name to Felurian in exchange for her giving vital information on his past to Void, despite the tiefling telling him he didn't have to. These incidents, combined with Kleitos' very slight defrosting towards the rest of the party, have made Void far more comfortable around him, and the tiefling now considers Kleitos a trustworthy ally and one of his better friends. In "Two Betrayals," during their voyage to Makitau, Kleitos trained Void in combat. By the end of their training, Void was able to hold his own against Kleitos for a short while, and the two grew much closer as a result.

Thagnos Fireband
Void has an overall positive relationship with Thagnos Firebrand, with any hostility largely based on the dragonborn's initially dismissive tone towards Arlo Bilberry during their first encounter. Since then, however, Thagnos' contributions to the party have made him a valuable ally in Void's eyes. Combined with the tiefling's forgiving nature, this has done much to improve their relationship. While not quite friends yet, Void holds no ill will towards Thagnos, hoping that, with some refinement, he could become another in his growing list of friends.

Tharçival
Void and Tharçival had a very friendly relationship before the sorcerer's final disappearance into the Shadowfell. As one of the original Wish's Chosen, Tharçival was with Void from the beginning of his adventuring career on, and, as one of the only extroverted members of the original group, he was able to bring Void out of his shell quite easily. Void was saddened when Tharçival left, and hopes to see him return sometime in the future once he's completed his training.

Rowan
Rowan and Void were in the original group of heroes summoned by the Wish spell to Maclilcan, and as such, shared an amiable relationship for some time. However, with Rowan's flight at the Siege of Saracena, Void has lost contact with the ranger, and their current relationship status is unknown.

Zow
LIke Rowan, Zow was one of the heroes summoned alongside Void by the original Wish spell. However, Zow remained with the party for even less time than Rowan did, and as a result never developed any real sort of relationship with Void. The cleric has no animosity towards him, but neither does he consider Zow a friend.
