Biography

Background

Matt Mercer shares a near identical background with the voice actor Matt Mercer. However, he also survived the apocalypse and survived alongside Marisha Ray. At some point Matt took to wearing an eyepatch, it is unknown if this is because he lost an eye or if it's a stylistic choice.

"Critical Role EXTRA – Liam's Quest!" (Sx12)

Matt and Marisha drove in on a motorbike to save Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey and Sam Riegel from Conan O'Brien, the small versions of Liam O'Brien and themselves. Matt and Marisha melted the Warner Brothers Water Tower and destroyed the Liam O'Briens. Matt tried to deliver a warning but then vanished.
