by

The launch of our next Critical Role adventure is nearly here! We’re thrilled about Critical Role Campaign 4, of course, but we’re also excited to announce a brand-new animated series created by Critical Role, Titmouse, and Prime Video-The Mighty Nein. Inspired by Critical Role’s Campaign 2, The Mighty Nein “tells the story of a band of fugitives and outcasts, each carrying their own burdens. When a potent magical artifact called ‘The Beacon’ falls into the wrong hands, they’ll have to learn to collaborate to protect the world and prevent reality from falling apart.” The Mighty Nein arrives in November, and to build anticipation, Prime Video has just released a collection of first-look images and intriguing character details to get us prepared for even more Critical Role excitement.

The Mighty Nein Shares New Character Descriptions

So, who exactly are these The Mighty Nein characters featured in the initial images? They’re not only visually appealing, but they also have vibrant personalities, complementing the beautiful artwork and talented voice actors. Here’s what Prime Video reveals about Ming-Na Wen as “Dairon,” Anika Noni Rose as “Marion,” Alan Cumming as “Gustav Fletching,” Tim McGraw as “Vandran,” Mark Strong as “Trent Ikithon,” and Auli’i Cravalho as “Toya” in The Mighty Nein.

  • Dairon: Dairon is an Expositor, a secret agent monk of the Cobalt Soul and martial arts expert. Direct and blunt, she becomes Beau’s mentor and deepest source of intel.
  • Marion: Marion Lavorre, also known as the Ruby of the Sea, is an upscale courtesan and performer at the Lavish Chateau in Nicodranas. As Jester’s mother, she is warm and loving, but also overprotective and untrusting of the outside world.
  • Gustav Fletching: Circus ringmaster, Gustav Fletching, is the eccentric and beloved host of the Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities. He has given a plethora of misfits and malcontents a home at the carnival, like his dear friend Mollymauk.
  • Vandran: Vandran is a stalwart, confident sea captain and father figure to Fjord in The Mighty Nein. Commanding and firm, but understanding and nurturing when needed, he takes Fjord under his wing and teaches him how to be a true leader.
  • Trent Ikithon: Trent Ikithon is the Archmage of Civil Influence for the Cerberus Assembly and Caleb’s former manipulative school teacher. Secretly, Ikithon is the head of the Volstrucker, a team of elite wizard assassins that operate under the Empire.
  • Toya: Toya the Vivid Voice is a dramatic 13-year-old performer and tamer of Kylre, a ferocious Devil Toad. With the help of lumino beetles and the sound of her haunting voice, Kylre is precariously under her charm.

I’m telling you, Tim McGraw is absolutely going to nail his first appearance on Critical Role! And honestly, I’m so hyped to see what Alan Cumming does with his character – that eccentric ringmaster sounds amazing. Seriously, bring on The Mighty Nein – I’m ready for it right now, if you ask me!
