Volothamp "Volo" Geddarm, created by Jeff Grubb,[1] is a fictional character of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.

[2]: 135  Volo was created by Jeff Grubb,[1] a game designer at TSR who collaborated with the Forgotten Realms creator Ed Greenwood.

A trouble-making bard, Wands gained Volothamp's moniker after he stole an artifact from a powerful wizard, and laid the blame on the far more infamous scapegoat of the real Volo.

"[6] Claudio Chianese from Giochi Per Il Mio Computer magazine described the character as "the most multifaceted and entertaining figure of the Forgotten Realms.

[7] Cameron Kunzelman of Paste described Volo as a "drunk" Ken Jennings who "really cared about being able to name all the animals of the zoo, and was the sole grantor of Michelin stars across the world".

Nesting world design within the subjective opinions of an expansive, world-trotting character with a penchant for embellishment solves a lot of problems and generally makes the job of being a DM a little more fun".

Volo was featured as a Magic: The Gathering card among other "Iconic D&D creatures, villains, heroes, and more [which] grace the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set".
