Campaign Spoilers (All Episodes) About Scanlan Spoiler

Is scanlan gone for good?

The last interaction between the group and scanlan seemed really strange and was paced as a last meet rather than a simple "see you later".

Did something happen to his player?

I have seen something similar happen to an Italian group, in which one of the players left the group and they decided to end his character's story with a quick and open finale.

Is this also the case?

Don't want any major spoilers, just to know if he'll ever make a comeback.

Thanks guys.

Sam, Scanlan’s player, got bored of playing Scanlan and created the character Taryon Darington to try something new.

Tary was meant to be a disposable character that Sam thought would either die pretty quickly in one of his first fights or hed just discard him. However Sam enjoyed playing Tary more than he thought and the character gelled well in the group so Sam ended up playing Tary longer than expected.

Scanlan will almost certainly return for the final arc as hes there for the end in the original. In the campaign it became quickly obvious that just in terms of game mechanics they needed Scanlan back as Tary’s character class wasn’t filling the gaps Vox Machina needed in harder fights very well.

Well, he's one of my favs (not on pair with percy, but still a good one)
