## **Story**

It is unknown how long Voladare has served as groundskeeper at the U.L.P. ranch in Kalispell, Montana, but it was certainly long before the organization relocated its headquarters there ("The New Class"). Voldare patrolled the ground alone, sometimes changing appearance between a couple of humans and a horse ("Cult of B.O.B.").

Voldare gets along well with Abby Reynolds and the others who relocate there, protecting them and the property, as has been the job, even if they find him a bit creepy. Once Voldare meets Daniel Kravitz, Voldare begins using the Chosen One's visage while on guard duty to intimidate any who might intrude, Though he doesn't find the shape comfortable, feeling "too stretched out," even though he spends half his time as a horse ("Maneuvers"). Voldare says a person can be killed with simple toilet paper, if you know the secret, indicating combat ability. Voldare tends to take people at their word, and treats the trainees as full members of the team. Voldare ran to their rescue when they summon an enenra, though failed to know how to stop it himself.

The changeling did tell Corey Addison she smelled different when she was awake, though Voldare didn't explain the comment further ("Mind If I Smoke?").

He doesn't like to be away from the ranch, but agreed to go on a mission at a bar with Rufus Reginald Rochester. There, he proved himself a capable fighter, even while drunk, turning into a large reptile and fighting with tail and vomit.

Voldare was uncomfortable with the idea of reaching into Rufus' front pocket. He mentions he can also transform into a bird or a cage, and doesn't want to die. He has not heard of Uber. He was excited to witness a rant by Grezit the Green ("Maneuvers").

Voldare posed as Daniel once more when Monbo attacked the ranch. He was soon gravely wounded by claws, which shifted him back into his own body, leaving him damaged. He was unable to shift around the wound. Alfredo healed Voldare with magic, leaving him back in full-fighting shape. During the battle, Voldare took the form of an eagle, a horse, and a dragon (with was a hard form to hold and its fire breath gave him heartburn) among other things, but declines to be given temporary Chosen One abilities. He unfortunately lost his beloved stable when it burned down, but he continued to fight with the group until the end. He saves Abby at one point.

The next morning, Voldare accompanies Alfredo to find Corey's body ("With Great Power...").

At some point, Voldare is left alone on the ranch. He is a regular at The Liquid Abyss and tends the property. Michelle Meyers spots him at the bar one night and hits on him, though Voldare is nervous and oblivious and slips away (with the help of the bartender) before he gives her much information ("Conspiracy Theories Part 2").
