218 APPENDIX 1l I MONSTERS AND NPCSVictoro is a priest of Asmodeus, though his devotion
to the Lord of the Nine Hells is a secret known only
to his wife and his closest friends. Most Waterdavians
know him as a successful banker, philanthropist, and
worshiper of Lathander. Some of h is business profits go
toward feeding and sheltering the poor. But behind !his
veneer of generosity, Victoro is a self-serving beast.
The soul ofVictoro's eldest son, Osvaldo. is forever
lost and can't be saved. To allay his guilt. Victoro has
forged a plan to win back the souls of his young twins,
Terenzio and Elzerina. Under the terms of the contract.
their souls will be forfeit on their ninth birthdays, and
that day is fast approaching. But Victoro can buy his way
out of the obligation by providing, as the contract states,
"'one shy of a million gold coins and the sacrifice of one
shy of a hundred unfortunate souls."
Victoro is well schooled, suave, slow to anger, and
blessed with good health, long life, and immunity to dis-
ease. He dresses in the latest fashions and walks with a
ruby-tipped cane, though not because he needs to. This
cane has the magical properties of a rod of rulership.VOLOTHAM P GEDDA R M

successful book tour promoting his latest work, Volo:S

the taproom of the Yawning Portal, reuniting with old

Volo has an inflated opinion of himself and his impor-
tance in the world, but he's not without his charm. There
is nothing he won't do to help a friend in need.VoLOTHAMP "VoLo" GEDDARM
