Volokhan Grimshoulder

At once a famed author and a scorned debtor, Volokhan Grimshoulder is a messy person. His publications include Volo's Volo’s Guide to Umberthroat, Volo's Guide to Monsters, and the upcoming Volo’s Guide to Spirits and Specters.

He first met the Umberthroat Dragon Heist Team when he hired them to track down his missing friend, Belgran Cliffstrider. Due to being in (yet another) financial pinch, Volo paid the party by transferring ownership of a tavern known as Trollskull Manor. Afterwards, Volo maintained contact with the team by repeatedly showing up at the tavern to hang out and chat with the group (and raid their kitchen, much to Layla's dismay).

Volo seems touched with a strange luck. Things generally work out for him, despite the fact that it seems like they shouldn't.

He has before and will again drink an ungodly concoction of coffee, sugar, and soy sauce.
