The last in the Essek Thelyss trilogy (episodes 137-141). I couldn't think of a joke for the title this time.

matt mercer, creating neutral evil TM shadowhand essek thelyss of the kryn dynasty: i'm just gonna make a potential antagonist who is a perfect narrative foil for one of my players and also an opportunity for me to show off my funky original spells also matt mercer: *creates an npc with such nuance and development that he's practically a pc in his own right without once overshadowing his players*

I think of essek as almost like Matt's PC for this campaign, I don't think he intended essek to be such a huge part of the campaign, but I'm glad he was, favorite side character by far

Clearly not…. When the Nein met Essek, he was lawful evil… the GROUP decided to make him a part… but yes… he is my favorite DMPC I’ve ever see

Matt: “he’s a literal war criminal.” Jester: “no, he’s our best friend! :)

Matt said (in the wrap-up, I think) that he didn't expect them to latch on to him, but he liked playing essek whenever he popped in. And that just makes me happy :)

I love the thought of both essek and caduceus sitting for tea after a few decades after all the others pass on just talking and laughing about the bullshit they got up to with the rest of the mighty nein

I adore Essek, I'd be interested to know if Matt thought he would be as important as he became. This lonely, hyper intelligent outcast who's primary focus was self-preservation and ego doing a slow 180 in the name of friendship and love. I hope Caleb and crew introduced him to Ussa and Alurra at some point. I'm picturing Essek, Ussa, Alurra and Caleb sitting around a table debating spell craft. What an odd group of mages to come together from 4 different countries.

Imagine what crazy spells they could create and perform together...

Kinda funny to think about: Molly was supposed to be a good guy PC and Essek was supposed to be a villain. And here they are, roles reversed xD

Thanks so much for these. I revisit them from time to time. The Mighty Nein really were something special and the change they wrought on Essek was such a demonstration of Caduceus' speech to Trent; it's not pain that makes people, it's love that makes people. Essek is a great example of someone the Mighty Nein saved by their love. And in saving him from himself, they saved others from the future deeds he might have done.
