Scanlan Shorthalt

Bard extraordinaire, champion of the Knowinig Mentor, and braggadocious hero of all Exandria, Scanlan Shorthald is the kind of adventurer who will never let you forget his name. He's personally ensured that the bards spreading his legend across the world will sing his praises for decades to come.

After the Epilogue

Scanlan has always been a self-centered, showboating braggart, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have a heart. These days, friendship and family mean more to him than anything, even if he's still not very good at showing it.
Following the defeat of the Whispered One, Scanlan eventually proposed to his long-pursued sweetheart, Pike Trickfoot, and they were married in a grand ceremony. The duo had a pair of children, one named Juniper (Juni) and the other named Wilhand'ildan (Wax). When the children were grown and in school, Pike and Scanlan amicably divorced and went their separate ways, remaining good friends—and occasional lovers—but content to follow their own paths.
Scanlan is approaching a century of life, but as a long-lived gnome, his looks are much as they were in his adventuring days except for his slowly receding hairline and the slight belly he's developed. Vanity dies slowly, though, and he hides even this modest amount of aging with a comb-over, frequent use of his trademark beret, and well-placed illusion magic when he needs to look portrait perfect.
Scanlan likes to sing songs of the Vox Machina days to crowded houses in cities across Tal'Dorei. He spends his winters in Ank'Harel, where he and his daughter Kaylie operate their high-end trading business, Meatman Imports & Sexports. It's a good job that keeps him constantly traveling around Exandria, suiting his interest in seeking out new people and places around the world—and for new performance venues and places to get into trouble.
