About “The Mighty Nein” in a few words:

“The Mighty Nein” is a brand-new animated fantasy series (premiering 2025) based on a tabletop D&D campaign, where a ragtag group of outcasts — wizards, rogues, monks and more — are thrown together to battle dark magic, political intrigue and their own demons. It’s a journey across a richly built magical realm, full of struggles, bonds and unpredictable twists.

Meet the characters from The Mighty Nein

Jester Lavorre

Oh my god Jester is like a literal confetti cannon of joy — chaotic, giggly, and absolutely committed to painting the world silly colors. She’s endlessly kind but also kind of a mischievous gremlin who will steal your hat and then bake you a cake with a face on it because emotions are edible, right? Deep down there’s this earnest desire to be seen that makes her surprisingly thoughtful sometimes (also she keeps a pocket shrine to, uh, very specific pancakes). She contradicts herself on purpose a lot — one minute clueless and sugar-high, the next quietly wise — and that mix is mostly what makes her impossible not to adore.

Mollymauk “Molly” Tealeaf

Molly is pure carnival lightning: loud suits, louder stories, and a grin that suggests he knows three secret jokes you don’t. He’s reckless and theatrical but also weirdly philosophical — like a fortune-teller who quotes poetry after slurping a milkshake. There’s this edge of danger under all the party vibes, a restless heart that flirts with chaos and then goes home to polish his brass knuckles or whatever. He’s so flashy you forget he’s layered until he vanishes into some melancholy monologue about miles of road and bad coffee.

Yasha Nydoorin

Yasha is the strong-silent type but also not — she’s quiet like thunder, you know, impressive and a little intimidating, but then she’ll do something absurdly tender (flowers? sloppy smiles?) that melts you. Her swordplay is legendary and she carries a lot of history in her eyes; also she might love soft things in secret, like, don’t tell anyone but she likes fuzzy socks or whatever. She seems stoic but has these tiny, surprising habits that humanize her — humming to herself, or failing spectacularly at small talk. She’s this mix of who-will-save-the-day and who-will-make-you-tea-in-silence, which is basically peak contrast and I live for it.

Essek Thelyss

Essek is cool, controlled, and the kind of brainy wizard who could rearrange the stars if he felt like it, but he also collects oddly specific teacups? He’s elegant and a bit aloof, very rules-and-arcana, but there’s a slow-burning warmth underneath the marble facade — like a lamp behind curtains. He says things with the exact right amount of sarcasm and then surprises you with a carefully chosen compliment that lands like a small, dangerous gift. Also, don’t assume he’s all dry logic; sometimes he’ll be inexplicably nostalgic about insignificant things (a childhood ribbon? a broken clock?) and you’re like, where did that come from — and then you forgive him instantly.

Caleb Widogast

Caleb is the ex-schoolboy-who-became-a-scorched-library — awkward, intense, and obsessed with books, pens, and probably three kinds of ink at once. He carries this huge guilt suitcase but somehow also a morbidly specific sense of responsibility that makes him unexpectedly heroic (and anxious all the time, bless him). He mutters more than he speaks sometimes, and when he does it’s a slow, careful sentence that has been proofread in his head twelve times. There’s a dry humor under the trauma, though, and little comforts (a terrible tea blend, slightly singed notes) that make him human and frustratingly lovable.

Beauregard “Beau” Lionett

Beau is all elbows and restless energy, the person who’ll clap you with a joke and then actually help you pick the lock to get out of town. She’s a touch anarchic, very sharp, and has an emotional radar that’s weirdly precise — she can read a room and also punch its ceiling down if needed. Under the flippant quips there’s this real hunger for justice and connection, plus a surprisingly soft side that shows up at the worst and best times (like right after she insults you). She loves rituals (weird ones), hates authority nearly as much as she loves an elaborate plan, and probably owns more grappling hooks than is strictly reasonable.

Nott the Brave

Nott is pocket-sized chaos with a knife and a grin — tiny, talkative, and a master of absolutely wild improvisation. She’s greedily practical (loots first, ponders feelings later? maybe) but loyally protective of her weird little found family, and you can always depend on her when the plan gets messy. She contradicts herself constantly — secretive yet confessional, cowardly yet brave when it counts — which makes her unpredictably adorable and exasperating. Also she has a collection of jars? snacks? secrets? — the specifics shift depending on her mood but it’s always entertaining.

Fjord Stone

Fjord is weather and willpower wrapped in broad shoulders — the half-uncertain warlock who looks like he’d navigate a storm and then stop to overthink the map for ten minutes. He’s steady, practical, and weirdly tender, prone to tiny bursts of awkward earnestness (like offering you his last slice of bread and then immediately regretting it). Destiny seems attached to him like a coat he can’t take off, which is dramatic but also he handles it with this stubborn mixture of sarcasm and actual care. Also low-key fashion sense (jacket energy) and an inexplicable love for sea shells or maritime tchotchkes; it’s very him.
