Volothamp Geddarm is known to most Waterdavians as a braggart and a notorious embellisher of facts. For all his faults, though, Volo is a soft-hearted sort who cares for nothing as much as his friends. At present, he is grievously concerned for the well-being of one of them.

He is oft portrayed as the quintessential “go-to guy” of the Realms even if his information is, at best, half-accurate. As a travelling storyteller, he is too curious for his own good.
