Volothamp "Volo" Geddarm (VOH-loh-thamp geh-DARM)
Volothamp Geddarm (a.k.a. Volo, Pidge)
Volothamp Geddarm, or Volo for short, is a traveler and storyteller, most famous for his series of guidebooks published in Waterdeep. He is known for being too curious for his own good and is sometimes derrided by scholars for presenting information that is, at best, half-accurate.
Born almost two centuries ago, Volo claims to have been trapped by an imprisonment spell to be released only after a century passed.
The bombastic world traveler Volothamp Geddarm is enjoying some downtime in Waterdeep following a successful book tour promoting his latest work Volo's Guide to Monsters. He spends most of his free time in the taproom of the Trollskull Manor reuniting with old friends and mulling over his next book project Volo's Guide to Spirits and Specters, while he waited for royalty payments for his previous book.
Volo has an inflated opinion of himself and his importance in the world, but he's not without his charm. There is nothing he won't do to help a friend in need.
