He is a member of the Ginkgo Guild and a descendant of the ancient Sinnohan people, displaying a keen interest in historical lore and Pokémon myths. Volo often appears as a helpful guide to the player, assisting them in their journey across the Hisui region while secretly pursuing his own ambitions related to Arceus and the creation of the universe. His natural habitat is the Hisui region, where he travels extensively. While not a Pokémon himself, his role is central to the game's narrative, acting as a recurring antagonist and the final human opponent. His behavior is characterized by an initial helpful demeanor that gradually reveals a manipulative and power-hungry nature.
