Marcus Volpo

Born to the patriarchal line of the Vulpus Media merchant family, Marcus Volpo spent much of his youth away from the Olutus Kingdom learning the family trade. Along the way, he kept detailed records of the stories, cultures, creatures, and wonders he witnessed, which he published upon his return to the country of his birth. While the chronicles of his experiences were immensely popular with the common folk, and won him great fame with the wealthy, they were generally regarded as, at best, fanciful embellishments of facts by the academic elite. Despite this, the name Marcus Volpo quickly became equated with such contemporary historians as Jahn Siili and Raolin duBois.
