== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Born in the Winter of 3 VE, he was born shortly after the settling of Karvina, and the founding of the Karvinan Brotherhood. The village he was born in would come to be known as Palatat, translating to "Old town". Volo's mother, Astara Samarro, founded a charity known as Stonnara, translating to "cloth giving", which sought to provide clothes to people in need. She was recognized by Fidel Azzioma, founder of the Karvinan Brotherhood, and was brought onto the Ilumni as Civil Representative. Volo's father, Soro Mezarii, was a Carvaian statesman prior to the Comet War, but began managing a logging guild after the Volsii settled in Halinn. This guild helped to provide for Volo's education, which was strikingly hard to come by in early Karvina.
At a young age, Volo began reading old Carvaian treatises, which introduced him to political theory. At 14 years old, his mother stepped down as the Civil Representative of the Ilumni, this position has since been vacant. This caused a shift in the political sphere of Karvina, which at this point had been united with Altara for 11 years. Laws proposed by Samarro were overturned, as Fidel Azzioma, now the Ilumni Vazana, took on a more reactionary conservative role in the council. Volo saw this as a misuse of power, and at the young age of 15, published an open letter to the Speaker. Political theorists and scholars praised young Volo for giving his uncensored opinion on the state of the Ilumni.
=== Early political career ===
Not too long after Volo turned 23, Azzioma passed away, leaving an open place within the Ilumni. In the early spring of 26 VE, Volo was approached by Hugzo DeNeono, a sitting member of the Ilumni. Hugzo invited Volo to become a member of the council, an offer that Volo could not refuse.
