Laura Bailey plays Vex'ahlia 'Vex' Vessar
Who is Vex'ahlia 'Vex' Vessar? Vex is a half-elf ranger and a member of Vox Machina, who was taken away from her home when she was younger along with her twin brother Vax. They left and forged their own path, along with a bear they rescued as a cub, Trinket.
When asked whether we'd see more of Vex and Vax's past and why they were sent away, Bailey told RadioTimes.com: "There are moments.
"This whole season has us overcoming trauma through grief and acceptance, and I think it's a beautiful thing for Vex to realise that maybe she doesn't need her father as much as she always thought she did, and being able to speak to him as an equal is more important. So yeah, we do get to see a little bit more of that without going into too many spoilers."

When speaking with RadioTimes.com, Jaffe said: "I feel like the opening title shot of Percy is an awful lot about moving moving forward. It's what his mission is at this point, is to start healing and start becoming the person he was supposed to be if all of these terrible things had never happened.
"And talking about grief and letting go of that is... grief of both what happened to him, who he lost, and even losing himself is honestly his byline for the entire campaign. A lot of this is him just trying to become a steward of the city, better to his friends, better to himself, and better to the people that he loves and cares about."

Speaking with RadioTimes.com, Johnson said: "I really, really am so excited for Pike's journey this year. A lot of it because I was not there present at the table for, because I was working in New York, so to be able to tell this part of Pike's story... it's a big part of who she is, of her faith in the Everlight and so much of that.
"And finding faith in herself and how she can be there for the rest of her group and her found family, and also the journey of finding the Vestige and where we go with that."

Speaking about Vax's arc in season 3, and his role as the Matron of Ravens, O'Brien told RadioTimes.com: "In the beginning, it's like he stepped on a landmine and is just instantly panicked.
"So I think that his relationship with the matron and his role with her continues to evolve episode by episode and with each passing season. So yeah, he definitely is starting in a different place than when he first fell into it, and by the end of it, he'll be in a new place."
Where have I seen Liam O'Brien before? O'Brien is a voice actor who has had roles in many animated shows, including Star Wars: Rebels and The Bad Batch, as well as video games and films such as the Disney Plus animated Marvel special Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red.

Speaking about Scanlan's relationship with his daughter in season 3, Riegel said: "He's going to keep tugging on that thread and pursuing his daughter and trying to make something out of that relationship. He's not really great at relationships - any kind - and this one is one that he's never had any experience with.
"So he'll definitely make some mistakes along the way, but it's not for lack of trying, and we'll get to see... I don't know if it's a resolution of their relationship, but certainly a change in their relationship from the beginning of the season to the end.
"And that's what this show's all about – character arcs, deep emotional wells, it's great. And for a lot of the characters, this season really starts them in one place and takes them to a totally unexpected place by the end of it."

Travis Willingham plays Grog Strongjaw
Who is Grog Strongjaw? Grog is a Goliath barbarian and Pike's best friend.
When asked whether we would see more from Grog's past in season 3, Willingham said: "I don't think we're going to go back into Grog's backstory too much into season 3, but that's also why we have so much fun with our comic book series, with Dark Horse.
"Vox Machina: Origins is where we get to delve into where all these characters really came from, and so there's a lot of context and content there, if you're interested in reading up on it a little bit more.
"But I think we're going to start to see the echoes of Grog's choices through season 3, and also how he views his real family versus, I would say, his blood family, right? His father was there, the herd was there, that's what he was born into and what he grew up with.
"But very quickly, he found his real family with Pike, with Wilhand, and that's who taught him how to to be the barbarian that he is, and to have a heart while he does it. So I think you're going to see what family really means to Grog, both in terms of Pike and also his found family with Vox Machina."
Where have I seen Travis Willingham before? Willingham is a voice actor best-known for his roles in the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise, One Piece and the Street Fighter franchise, as well as for playing Knuckles in the Sonic the Hedgehog video games and Thor in a number of Marvel games.
