Summary
Volke is a mischievous, impatient man whose interest
is hard to attract unless the object of money is present. Volke is
faithful to his employer, shown by his declaration that he will never
take more than one job at a time. He carries out his job, and is
content when his employer pays on time; although, he does get
embarrassed when thanked. Unlike many others, Volke prefers to stay
away from large crowds. He will agree to do any job as long as he's
given a suitable amount of money.
Bio
In Path of Radiance
Volke
is first seen searching for "Sir Greil" among Ike's mercenaries during
their raid of Canteus Castle so he can deliver a "report". When Titania
informs him that Greil had died, Volke offers his services to Ike for a
steep price of fifty-thousand gold. Ike, of course, doesn't have the
money. Soren confronts Volke before he leaves, however, and offers
Volke a job. Volke decides to stay, employed to Ike, and asks Ike to
call him when he needs him.
After a battle at the Daein border,
Ike finds a storage room full of gold. He asks Volke to give him the
report, as Ike was able to obtain the money requested. Volke states
bluntly that the report was but a ruse; in actuality, the details of
his secret were far too important to be written down. Volke's true job,
as Greil's shadow, was to end Greil's life if he ever went berserk.
Volke tells Ike that his research on the medallion, Lehran's Medallion,
gave him the information that the men who hunted Greil were after the
medallion itself.
Volke is shown to know a lot about the
medallion. He was also the one to inform Ike that Greil killed Elena,
Ike's mother, due to accidentally touching the medallion. Ike listens
intently, and Volke offers his services to Ike to ease his worries.
After Ike accepts, Volke reveals that his true profession is that of an
assassin: no mere thief.
Volke has few people he commonly
associates with. He seems to have a deep connection with Bastian,
however. Sometime after the battle with Bertram, Bastian requests
Volke's aid in fulfilling a certain job. Volke offers to help once he
finishes his current job, as Bastian has a record for paying on time.
Volke
leaves Ike's company, soon after Ashnard's defeat. He notes that Ike
should contact him if he is ever in need of Volke's services. His
contact method? Go to any local tavern and tell the barkeep you've need
of a Fireman.
In Radiant Dawn
Throughout the years,
Volke continues with his usual activities. His introductions are cut
short when Geoffrey orders him to catch the escapee, Izuka, after Volke
asks for two-thousand gold, of course. He is persuaded to stay, through
use of money, and aids Elincia's army. He does offer a discount though,
as he did not like his previous employer; the discount being
three-thousand gold.
Volke wasn't laying low, however, as he was
hired by Bastian to find a way to cure Renning's deteriorating mind.
With Volke's help, Bastian was able to find out that Izuka had
engineered Renning's mind, which made him into a puppet that served
Ashnard.
When his contract is complete, Volke goes back to hiding in the
shadows, doing the same mysterious things he's always done.
