Grog Strongjaw (Travis Willingham) may not be the smartest of the group, but he might be the sweetest. Whether he's chugging an ale or going into a rage, the goliath barbarian is a valued member of the Vox Machina crew. The first season of "The Legend of Vox Machina" doesn't go much into Grog's backstory, but there is one major aspect of his origins that hopefully will make its way into Season 2.
In the Critical Role campaign, while visiting Pike and Grog's hometown of Westruun, Vox Machina discovers that the town has been taken over by a group of goliath bandits. It just so happens that this particular group was once Grog's own tribe, and his uncle, Kevdak, is their leader. In an effort to free the citizens from Kevdak's reign of terror, Grog challenges him to one-on-one combat. The fight is an excruciating one, which tests the limits of Grog's strength — both existentially and physically.
This epic battle not only proves Grog's physical prowess but also shows that he is more than just a simple-minded gentle giant. Not only is Grog's honor at stake, but the well-being of Tal'Dorei and its people rests on his massive shoulders with the conflict's outcome. Grog's fight against Kevdak was one of the highlights of the Critical Role Vox Machina campaign, and we can't wait to see it brought to life in upcoming episodes of "The Legend of Vox Machina."
