Wanguff Volter
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Wanguff Volter is the newest member of the Shortstack Stranglers. He is a former sailor who spent a quarter of his life pirating and drinking in the taverns of Neptun before he came to Vansreik. He is a jolly man who enjoys drinking, singing and stealing.1
Coming to Vansreik
Volter came to Vansreik after stealing his captain's magical rapier. He knew that entering the city takes a great deal of effort, more than his former captain could afford. Once there he got in touch with Turnip Bellwater, knowing that Turnip too had bad blood with the captain.2
Lacking experience in the mercenary trade, Volter is technically still on trial with the guild. He adapts quickly to new surroundings, and he too has his eye on his first ticket into the Deep Pit.2
In battle
Volter only takes on fights he knows he will win. He reads the battlefield like a bird of prey and picks out the weakest enemy he can eliminate, preferring to stay in the shadows, from which he can pop out, strike and hide again. He has no belief in honour or chivalry: he fights dirty and runs when he feels the fight going wrong.2
