The bloodthirsty lord of Whitestone
Sylas Briarwood is defined by his elegant cruelty and his profound, unwavering love for Delilah. He is a terrifying physical combatant, using his supernatural strength and charm to brutally subjugate anyone who opposes his wife’s grand designs.
Matthew Mercer voices Sylas with a smooth, hypnotic menace. He perfectly balances the character’s monstrous, bloodthirsty nature with the tragic reality that his entire existence is tied to a desperate, dark pact made out of love.
The Briarwoods are the definitive villains of the Vox Machina campaign. Sylas’s sheer brutality forces the heroes—particularly Percy de Rolo—to confront the darkest aspects of their own morality and vengeance.
