Legend of Zelda: Shattered World

As a gnome, Scanlan is shorter than the other members of Vox Machina. He is also much older, but because gnomes live so much longer than many humanoid races, he appears to be around the same age as his former companions.

Scanlan's quick wit and silver tongue made him Vox Machina's best negotiator and deceiver. Scanlan often acted as support for his allies by enhancing their abilities or weakening their opponents. He was also capable of holding his own with a combination of magic, improvisation, and courage, as exemplified by his solo fight against Duke Vedmire and his eight armed guards. Scanlan was often regarded as the comic relief character and almost never brought up his own troubles and anxieties, instead focusing on making jokes or witty comments. His refusal to ask for help and constantly lying about his mental health slowly built up, until he began to feel like he didn't belong with Vox Machina, accusing them of never having cared about him or bothered to find out who he was and what he wanted. Because of this, he left the party for over a year.

Raised by a poor single mother, Juniper, and barely knew his father, Vicou. His mother was killed in front of him during a goblin invasion.Scanlan joined up with Dr. Dranzel's Spectacular Traveling Troupe when he was quite young and inexperienced. At some point they visited the island of Athova-Rae in the Shattered Teeth, Scanlan was drawn into an adventure with others more sophisticated than himself, perhaps taking inspiration for his later exploits from them, after which they went to Tal'Dorei. Dr. Dranzel's group later performed at the Darrington , the group was forced to leave fast when Scanlan had an affair with one the a handmaidens and in an unknown way corrupted Howaardt Darrington's bed. Later, he left this troupe before joining the group that would become Vox Machina. 780s or early 790s PD, Scanlan encountered a gnome named Sybil. Scanlan unknowingly left her pregnant with a daughter, Kaylie. In fact, by 812 PD, Scanlan knew he had fathered more children than just Kaylie.
