Voldo

Story

Voldo is a loyal servant of a wealthy weapons dealer known as Vercci. Due to his great wealth, Vercci needed a humongous storehouse for all his treasures. This storehouse is known as the ‘Money Pit’. As with most wealthy men, Vercci is paranoid that there would be those who seek to plunder his wealth. Therefore, he sets several traps to would-be trespassers and also enlists the services of his faithful employee, Voldo. 

Vercci’s paranoia is not without cause as several attempts are made to steal the treasures sealed away in the Money Pit and Voldo is called into action several times to ensure that his master’s treasures remain intact. Vercci is now dead, but Voldo remains loyal and continues to guard the Money Pit only leaving in a bid to capture the one elusive treasure that Vercci could not lay his hands on— Soul Edge. 

Unsuccessful, Voldo returns only to find that a flood has damaged a part of the Money Pit destroying some of the traps and making the place more vulnerable to marauders and thieves. Vercci’s worst fears are realized when a group of thieves which included Ivy attacked the place, Voldo once more had to fight to protect his master’s possessions, but while he fought Ivy off, he could not stop her from making away with Vercci’s notes. 

Enraged, Voldo leaves the Money Pit once more to track Ivy down, not only to retrieve the notes, but also in hopes of finding Soul Edge which he could smell on Ivy. He failed in one of those missions as he found out that Soul Edge had been destroyed, but he did have better luck in retrieving his master’s notes for which he was commended by Vercci upon his return to the Money Pit which caused him to be happy.

Personality

Voldo does not have much of a personality and is for the most part, simply loyal to his master and will do anything to do his bidding. This loyalty has created something of an unbreakable bond between the two. A strong fighter, Voldo has a keen sense of smell and is fiercely protective of anything concerning his master not caring what kind of man anyone else sees Vercci as. 

Playstyle

Voldo is a little weird. This is to his advantage as you might find a fair few people who aren’t familiar with the matchup. Generally speaking, Voldo is a multipurpose character with various tools that enable him to play both offensively and defensively. He can also play at range and from close quarters. For instance, if you are trying to zone out an opponent, Voldo’s default stance is a great option and with moves like Merry Mantis and Gate Prier you can keep opponents away while still getting hits in. On the other hand, if hey come close, you have tools to deal with that too. If the opponent is having too good a time, you can always switch Voldo’s position (facing away) and this will allow you access Voldo’s shorter range attacks which are also devastating.

Appearance

Voldo is… unique. Dressed in leather, he is armed with katars which he uses in both hands. Both his eyes and mouth are covered as he is both blind and mute.
