Volo is a merchant of the [[Ginkgo Guild]] that the player encounters several times over the course of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Unlike many of the other merchants, he often seems to travel alone, giving the player [[item]]s and advice on how to catch or battle certain Pokémon, such as teaching them how to use the back-strike while using [[Poké Ball]]s. Volo is often excited by the player's actions, taking interest in the player's alterations and contributions to the course of history. He has a sense of curiosity, being interested in the lore and myths that may be found around the [[Hisui]] [[region]], including the [[Plate]]s held by the special and [[Legendary Pokémon]] around the region.

Despite Volo's appearance and frequent aid to the player, his kindness is nothing more than a facade, hiding a malicious and clever side to his character. Volo appears to have a deep distaste and grudge for the player, wishing that {{p|Giratina}}'s [[space-time distortion|space-time rift]] had never brought them to Hisui. His interest in mythology and {{ga|Arceus}} created an intense self-commitment to meet the [[Mythical Pokémon]] and overthrow it, wanting to create a universe anew. However despite his negative traits it is implied that he does care for his own Pokémon, as shown with pictures of him and his {{p|Togepi}} at the photography studio in Jubilife Village. This is further implied with Togepi, along with his {{p|Lucario}} only evolving through high [[friendship]].

Volo is skilled in [[Pokémon battle]]s, often challenging the player. He is one of two people to have the most available Pokémon at once in traditional battle, the other being [[Ingo]]. He can read the glyphs left by the original Celestica people, and frequently notes the similarities between the journey of the Ancient Hero of Celestica legend and the player character. [[Cogita]] remarks that he often shirks his duties to pester her at the [[Ancient Retreat]] about Hisui's legends and myths, indicating a lack of interest in his duties as a Ginkgo Guild merchant.
